In this podcast, Author Nancy Flinchbaugh explains that she believes she has been receiving letters from the Earth that help tell her how to live as she grapples with climate change. The Earth tells her to speak up for the Earth, to encourage those working to address the climate issues, but also to really enjoy her life -- to dance, to celebrate the people, to savor the food, to get outside and live in the moment.
