Tracy Hepler and Lauren Johanson of Your Daily Thread

Your Daily Thread was created by best friends Tracy Hepler and Lauren Johanson. After graduating from college (Tracy @ UCSB and Lauren @ University of Richmond), both women spent a year abroad to learn more about themselves and the world. Tracy taught English in Spain; Lauren volunteered at an Indian Orphanage and on organic farms in Thailand and New Zealand.

After moving back to the city they knew as kids, they searched for a source to learn about what there was to do as adults. Their experiences in college and abroad had also sparked a growing interest in sustainability, social responsibility, green livingan overall more conscious lifestyle. This prompted them to seek out people and places living out these ideals through out Los Angeles. One night over fair trade coffee Tracy and Lauren wondered, "Why don't we make our own city guide that focuses on conscious living issues and share them with everyone?"

This is how ydt came to be, a project from the heart of two best friends. ydt is here for all of you to enjoy, read, share, comment on and connect to as you traverse Los Angeles.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
