Shad Achek

""The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established," a quote from the writings of Baha'u'llah, provides a path toward healing our global social troubles. Small (and significant) efforts to create a shared understanding of a healthy society and planet are at the foundation of achieving this unity. My mission is to advance this process in both my personal life and daily actions. "

  I started meeting my sister at the gym once a week. We both get more movement in and we have a regular time to check in with each other.
  
  Maybe you have someone you want to connect with that would be interested in joining you in some gardening time?
