It's About People and Nature Working Together

My Book

Life's Journey Volume 1

Jon F Gleman, through his book Life’s Journey (Volume 1), is dedicating his journey to generating awareness of nature and just how fortunate we are to be part of life here on our planet, Mother Earth. With these stories, that encompass his journey from early childhood to the present day, Jon hopes to generate the same sense of awe, wonder, and love of nature and the world around us that has been with him throughout his life. He will, through his stories, increase the reader's understanding of our incredible planet and how we are all in this together, plants, and animals, and how by working together we can restore, protect and preserve our home.
Jon wants us to better understand that we are all part of nature. That things we have done have upset the natural balance of our natural world and generated climate issues such as global warming and climate change, that we, our children, our grandchildren, and all our earth-born companions face today.

A must buy!!!! Highly recommend buying and reading this book! Gaining more knowledge about our planet Earth from a true expert. Love the poems and stories. Can't wait to read the next journey.... and yes, pay attention to what is happening around us. Jess. Amazon Review.

my journey WITH NATURE blog

My journey with nature blog is a compilation of my writings whose goal is to encourage us to work together to go green. To deliberately spend time in nature, to restore and preserve our environment. Some of my stories are ones I remember from my past working in the field as an ecologist in South Florida, others are about influential figures who affected my journey. I reflect upon nature for inner peace and to remain connected to the living world. You will also find that I write fun stories about plants and animals, that are informative and amusing all in the same.

My Music

I don't know about you, but I wake up singing a different song in my head each and every morning. I consider this a blessing because I love music so much. Music has been an instrumental part of my life. It has helped me through the tough times and the happy times. I'm thrilled that I can share my morning songs with you. I hope it makes you happy.

My Legacy is My Journey

The life and career I have led has inspired me to keep giving, keep motivating and keep sharing. My journey has been remarkably fulfilling, so I’ve decided that I want to spend my retirement writing and offering uplifting stories from my past and from my love for nature. Come along as I share stories from my own youth and career that I hope will motivate and inspire you, too.

Stories for Our Youth

I love to write, especially about nature's most precious gifts, plants, and animals. In my blog, I continue to draft fun stories about different living things I encounter on a daily basis. Retirement has slowed me down, but it will never keep me from telling our young people light-hearted information about nature I think younger folks will love. My music and stories are meant to be motivating, so we humans can remain connected with our Mother Earth. This is a part of my legacy and my journey -- I wish to share with everyone.
