(louangelola1) Inspiration for "resolutionaries"
Julia Butterfly Hill climbed a 1,000+ year old redwood named "Luna" in Northern California and lived in her branches for over 2 years to save it from the chainsaws of a logging company. Her first winter she was nearly killed as a terrible storm raged through her tiny perch. Butterfly describes the fear, the breakthrough, and the life lessons of those early months.
