A Love Letter to My Backyard by Amanda Russo Rubman

"the spark,
of a light’s kiss,

ignites
a flicker

of imagination,
reflection…
quietude.

layers of nature.
design preserved..." - Amanda Russo Rubman

🇺🇸 Honoring President Jimmy Carter on Presi

🇺🇸 Honoring President Jimmy Carter on Presidents' Day 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate President Jimmy Carter—not just for his time in the White House but for his LIFELONG dedication to PEACE, DEMOCRACY + HUMAN RIGHTS. He reminded us that "the only title higher than that of president is the title of citizen," and he lived by those words every day.

As a oner-term president, he made human rights central to U.S. foreign policy, working to end oppression + brokering the Camp David Accords, bringing peace between Israel & Egypt.

After leaving office, his perceived flaws transformed into strengths. He emerged as an icon of humility, integrity, community + hard work. Jimmy + Rosalynn Carter founded The Carter Center, pioneering election monitoring, advocating for political prisoners + tackling diseases like Guinea worm + river blindness (in partnership with #USAID), improving millions of lives. He used his platform for "soft power" across the globe:

🌍 Defender of Human Rights & Democracy – Observed 110+ elections in 40+ countries, fought racial + gender inequality, and co-chaired a bipartisan commission that led to the Help America Vote Act + future election reforms.

🕊️ Global Peacemaker – A founding member of The Elders, formed by Nelson Mandela, promoting Peace, Human Rights + Equality in Syria, Zimbabwe + Myanmar; negotiated peace in Ethiopia, North Korea, Bosnia + Haiti and stood against war: "We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children."

🏡 Champion of Habitat for Humanity – Believing safe shelter is a basic human right, the Carters personally helped construct 4,331 homes with 103,000+ volunteers.

🏅 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate + Presidential Medal of Freedom. – Recognized for decades of work to end conflicts, alleviate suffering + promote democracy.

His legacy is one of #action, #compassion and #justice. As he said, "We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace... and we MUST." Let’s honor him by choosing KINDNESS, SERVICE + UNITY.

What are you waiting for? Pick your passion, be a local hero 🦸 #Volunteer TODAY!
