This past Saturday I made myself get out of my comfort zone and go explore other parts of the state and meet new people. I made my way up to Greensboro to do a trash clean up with . They are a pretty new organization so everyone go follow them and give them all your love and support. The passion and the knowledge is absolutely amazing and beautiful! Their river runs into ours so the work they are doing does affect us too here in the cape fear. Thank you to for donating your boats so I and others could join. I know when it’s time for me to go and buy a kayak this is where I’m going. They are kind, nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I’m not sure how much trash was pulled out of the water but I know it was a lot and so much was left behind. I of course brought a few treasures of my own home. A plastic dump truck, an assortment of balls to add to my collection of balls and one in soul to add to my shoe collection. Afterwards I made my way over to who is an 18ft troll made from reclaimed wood. She is 1 of 7 that lives in the trees here in NC. I was in awe standing there. But mostly inspired thinking “I CAN do this whole art thing!” “I CAN make cool things people appreciate and love” “I CAN make a difference too.” Overall I had a wonderful experience being around others that also care about our environment. We all have different walks of life and ways of caring for the environment but every one of us makes a difference. I feel happy, fulfilled, inspired and grateful for community.
