Our family love the pictures and quotes. Will help us stay focussed on the positive vision of the world we want to create throughout our year of advocacy and activism.
Very nice calendar, I'm very happy.
I work in climate change, and I’m so often fed up by the bombardment of negative messaging which leaves all of us feeling disempowered, discouraged, and helpless. With this on my wall, next to my desk, I am constantly reminded of the power of the stories that we tell ourselves and each other. Gorgeous art and powerful messaging. Highly, highly recommended.
This is a delight - hopeful and light-hearted but with a serious underpinning. Nice quality at a reasonable price.
