A Passion For This Earth

Hi! My name is Caitlin and I live in Chicago, IL with my husband Seth, two children Otis and Jonnie-Rose and our dog Twiggy.

I have been anxious the past few years for many reasons as I am just an anxious person. Don’t worry, I have started meditating and therapy, so working to eliminate the anxiety. However, I fear for our earth and what humans are doing to it. The real fear of us becoming extinct through the way we over use this world. She fights back with worse fires, larger earthquakes, higher temperatures throwing off all of the worlds delicately balanced echo systems. I fear for the ability to grow good food, but have hope with seeing renegrative farming, recycling, zero carbon, food savers, conservationist, and other eco aware professionals and humans that are working so hard to save the world.

I started Heart Be Your Guide 4 years ago as a way to shop local and small business. Over the years I have struggled with consumerism as a whole and lately here, I have been trying to figure out a way to do my part in helping the global movement of saving this earth. I still am not sure how I fit in the fight for this world. But I have shifted Heart Be Your Guide to be more focused on what people can do on a small scale to help reduce, reuse, recycle, regenerate, support, uplift and overall care for the communities around them.
I am not sure how this is going to shake out, as it is an organic process for me. But stay tuned here to catch up on the cool things I think others are doing for the world, cool things to buy (because after all we do live in a consumer focused world), cool projects that are using sustainability in their construction, regenerative farm information and much more.

I am so incredibly grateful for you. You are here because you care and frankly, every single person on this planet should care. Thank you for doing your part be it small are large. We must invest in planet earth, if we want to continue to live from her.

With love,

Caitlin
