As depicted in my piece, "Generation Z(eal)", I believe I am well because I am greeted by the flora and fauna in my yard each morning. I have access to potable water, quality education, a safe space where my voice is heard and a great system of family and friends. However, some are less fortunate and this makes me uneasy.
Every individual should enjoy the five tenets of wellness unconditionally. Our well beings are not only interconnected with one another, but with Earth as well. Hence, we must stand together, hand in hand, to achieve wellness for all and our home. Our generation has demonstrated the passion to reach this goal on countless occasions. I believe that with our zeal, we will see that it is achieved.

This is a lovely and positive depiction of the aspects of wellness, Meghan - Thank You! We are wondering if we might use your artwork and statement on 5 October as part of the Working Group on Girls (www.girlsrights.org) #11Days of Action leading up to the 2023 International Day of the Girl (#IDG2023). It would help amplify the theme of the importance of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment for girls. Thx for letting me know at your convenience via email at bblissman@lorettocommunity.org - with Gratitude, Dr. Beth Blissman
