What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?

We’ve been working on our publication and platform for almost a decade because we deeply believe that the world will be a far more empathetic and collaborative place if we all had the ability to know each other’s stories.  The past decade has brought unimaginable challenges along the way, but we persevere because we believe this is mission worth never giving up on.  We often are inspired by the folks we’ve featured and their commitment to their respective missions and so we asked some of them to talk to us about this very topic and have share some responses below.

I started Sage Country Herbs to inspire people to recognize the gifts that nature and community connection have to offer. My goal is to empower individuals with the benefits of herbal medicine and provide them with education about themselves and the world around them. This will enable them to solve problems using natural tools and understand how their bodies work. Read more>>
