Happy September Daily Actors!

Fall is a potent time to pull in, to reflect, reconnect and replenish our spirits. It’s when Daily Acts was born out of heartbreak and tragedy with a vision of supporting you to reclaim the power of your daily actions as a pathway to wider transformations. And holy smokes do we have some goodies to fuel your daily acting, from the release of our book to up-leveling our drought action and more.

After years in the making, I’ve finally finished Daily Acts’ book! To get an Advance copy and help us spread the word, check the Book Rippler section below or continue reading here. In a time of really big problems, Take Heart, Take Action is about the world-changing power of small acts, groups and gardens. Because in getting overwhelmed and disheartened, we lose sight of the power we do have, the enriching, transformative impact we can have.

Take Heart, Take Action is full of beauty, inspiration and practical ideas to change your life and community. Here’s some of what’s inside:

  • Tools and practices to find and live your inspiration and create a personal compass
  • How a garden can teach you nature’s wisdom whether you garden or not
  • How small groups can become catalysts for wide scale change

To be honest, I haven’t felt this nervous to use my voice for this work since I started Daily Acts. But what I’ve learned is that when something both scares and inspires you, that’s the place to lean in. 

Less “How To” and more heart-centered “Why To”, the book is more personal, sharing what led me to found Daily Acts and what has shaped our values, approach and success over the last 20 years. I wrote it this way because at the start and end of the day, it all comes down to each of us finding where our heart’s inspiration meets the hurt we are called to heal. From here, it’s about finding your path and people and developing a good compass to guide you. This is essential to affect the wider transformation urgently needed. 

This book is a celebration of you and this amazing community who has powered our growing impact over the last 20 years. I hope it further inspires you to take heart, take part and take action.
