I wish to start as I mean to go on, and that is gently. This writing is for all the children of the world impacted by the climate, that means it is for everyone. The climate child in me honours the climate child in you. Namaste, bonjour, hi and welcome.

As I type this introduction I sit in my peaceful house and write this from my computer, on the third floor of my safe and lovely home. I have hot water, a full fridge, a garden and more books than I know what to do with. I have a fantastic, free and fulfilled life. I feel blessed and grateful. Many of my ancestors, particularly the females, could never have imagined a woman living like this. I am free to do pretty much as I please, and I do. The child in me is delighted with all of this.

But that same child is scared.

She is scared by how bad things have become, environmentally. And that is why I feel this calling to write and share my thoughts on what I know, see and feel happening around me and within me.

Climate Child is my attempt to bring some understanding and awareness to these matters. But I would also like to bring comfort, hope and wisdom too.

If you are a person who cares about the climate and are worried about what is happening, you are welcome here. This page is for you, and I hope you find some comfort here. Please remember you are never alone and I am glad we found each other.
