CHERYL LEUTJEN: LOVE EARTH NOW
This episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Nature Connection” Podcast features Cheryl Leutjen, author of “Love Earth Now: The Power of Doing One Thing Every Day.”
Because no two paths are the same when it comes to navigating the journey toward more Earth-friendly living, “Love Earth Now” gently guides readers toward discovering what they can do as individuals to effect meaningful change, starting now.
“This isn’t your usual ‘10 ways to save the planet’ sort of book,” said author Cheryl Leutjen, whose background as a geologist, environmental law attorney, spiritual practitioner and mother informed her approach. “I share my personal experiences with candor and humor to inspire other folks to discover their own ways of living a more eco-friendly lifestyle.”
“Love Earth Now” is Leutjen’s deeply thoughtful, often neurotic and sometimes comedic exploration of her own efforts to make an eco-contribution. When all her years of education and endless internet searches fail to illuminate, she heads into nature where she discovers the wisdom that inspires a more Earth-loving path.
“This book is the result of my own efforts to find ways to live a more sustainable lifestyle without making myself crazy in the process — because there are no perfect answers.”
In “Love Earth Now” you will:
– Discover your own path to living more earth-conscientiously
– Discover what you have in time, talents, and resources to care for Earth
– Learn healthier ways to process the news of extinctions, changing climate and environmental devastation in the world
– Discover how to demonstrate a commitment to a more verdant, healthy, peaceful planet without making themselves crazy
Each chapter concludes with a “Love Earth Invitation,” a simple and immediate exercise that prompts you to invest just 10 minutes (5 if you are pressed for time) to explore your own feelings and calls to action.
“These eco-mindfulness moments provide the opportunity to reflect and discover what you can do right now that will mean more to the world than all that power and influence can buy,” Leutjen added.
Cheryl Leutjen’s deep love of Earth and her hope for a bright future for her children fuel her passion for responding to the challenges of our time with heart, hope, humor and spiritual practice. Leutjen writes to share her experiences about teetering between Earth-mindfulness and eco-madness, not because she’s got it all figured out, but in solidarity with anyone else who’s fumbling along the path of more conscientious living.
She draws from her experience as a geologist, attorney, small business owner, spiritual practitioner, wife and mother to claw her way out of the abyss of eco-despair. She seeks solace from the sages in nature who reveal the wisdom she needs to navigate a more Earth-loving path. For more information, please visit https://cherylleutjen.com/
