Turning the Page to 2024 & Meet the WOTE Staff!

By Audre Gutierrez | January 11, 2024 |

Happy New Year to our Wisdom of the Earth Friends and Family!

Greeting 2024 with positivity and perspective

We are currently running a series of posts on our Facebook Page about positivity.  My first offering was Laurel Leaf, as I associate positivity with positive action, in addition  to positive thinking.  Our thought was to focus on the importance of shifting the mood from worry, due to the many issues that are in the news that cause (legitimately) angst and concern, to positivity.  Whether it is the climate, the situation in Gaza, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the political unrest in the US…and so many more…we can support our own health within this stressful context by focusing on what we personally can and cannot change, and act accordingly.
