Which ones do you want?
It’s finally February! January is often a blurr of new year energy, setting big goals, getting sick after the holidays, and quickly realizing your capacity to meet those may not stay on track. Sound familiar? I hope the Winter Wonder Scavenger Hunt was fun and helped you get outside more, despite the cold. I used to hate this time of year, but now I love knowing there’s at least 28 more days of freedom to rest and prepare for the hustle and bustle of Spring. Brisk walks in cold air really make me feel alive too! February is a short and sweet month for nature lovers, nestled deep in the middle of a warm and cozy winter (for those in the northern hemisphere). The days start to get a little longer, the first lambs are often born, and snowdrops might pop their pretty little buds out (we don't hate on any plants here, even if non-native). I wonder what else you'll notice this year! Today my wild sense of wonder is drawing me toward you, Reader - What are you most interested in doing in 2026? This year I am hoping to keep a slow, steady pace going. I want to offer something live and helpful each month, as I'm able. And launch a few community-based programs to support your EarthCare journey in business or the backyard (or both)! And this newsletter really helps us get to know each other's needs! So, how about you, Reader? What are you hoping for this year? Do any of the things I listed above match your goals or needs? You don't have to choose just one... come back and click them all if you want! March will be here soon enough with all the garden tasks, haha. Let yourself linger in February a bit. This is a precious time to just enjoy the wonder of winter, take a little time to plan and learn about ecology, work on your business, and choose a wild lover - whether it's another human, a bird who visits daily, the night sky or your daily sit spot. Let yourself have a few extra moments to enjoy each other this month. For wildlife and a wilder life, Kendra P.S.

Did someone forward you this email? Subscribe here. Hello Reader, As you well know, there is a lot going on in the world right now. Most of it is big, heavy, and challenging to process. It is incredibly easy (and completely normal) to get stuck in the trauma responses. Whether it’s doom-scrolling online or angry-ranting with friends. If you remember my previous email about the freeze state, you know I believe these responses are ancient and protective. But while survival responses keep us...

Last week, I shared what I think the world needs NOW… TLDR; In the midst of corruption and our collective grief in response to it, what we need more than ever is JOY in resistance and REUNION. I got so many beautiful replies - thank you all for your patience as I find time to reply! Near the end of every winter I start to face this big, ugly, raw feeling inside of "what the heck am I doing here anyway?" It's valid, I mean, what the heck are...
Did someone forward you this email? Subscribe here. Hello Reader, I got out to my yard this weekend, for a reprieve from the world’s chaos. 10/10 recommend, regardless of weather. It was cold and rainy, but we cleaned out the bird boxes, so they can build new nests this spring. Then we added to the compost, admired some deer and rabbit tracks, and sat on the porch with bird seed in hand, hoping to make a few new friends. My wildflower meadow last week - in its sepia-tone glory, feeding the...
