        Leanne said:

        “Just having a little bit of biophilia, which is essentially bringing nature indoors, can make use feel a little bit better.”


        “What’s really important is sucking the marrow out of life… It’s about living considerately and truthfully and mindfully and putting value in things that aren’t necessarily material, you can’t necessarily see them, like connected relationships.”
