You are absolutely blessed to have a dad that loves and cares for life and has hope and the grace of being alive ♥ with the love and kindness that we all can see and hear from his presence.
Thank you for your kind words Theodore, we are so glad that you enjoyed it 💚 So much kindness and love in one body - it just overflows! Michael and Justine
I'm so grateful for Justine and Michael and the wise men and women who share their stories. Every time I see a new video pop up my whole body relaxes because I know I am in for at least a few minutes of possibility, hope, joy, sometimes tears and always lots of genuine love. Gives me hope...
Tom, thank you for your lovely comment 💚 we are so grateful for our amazing audience - thank you to you all for coming back for more each time! We just love sharing these moments with you, Justine and Michael
What sets Green Renaissance apart from so many others who try to "create" inspiring videos, is that the wisdom shared is not something conceptualized and packaged for the sake of making inspiring videos and getting likes, but is spoken by people and flows from the very depths of their souls because they genuinely understand and live it every day. Despite his own personal tragedy, Theo understands the concept of service to others as the true key to personal happiness. He reminds us acts of kindness and love don't have to be overwhelming in size. he says: "It doesn't have to be a big thing. Most of the things that happen are really small things." Perhaps he never read anything by Mother Teresa, but he intuited her wisdom when she said, "We can't all do great things, but we can do small things with great love." The message of today's film is especially poignant in view of the sometimes seemingly hopeless situation of the world; climate change and climate disasters, war, poverty from wealth inequality, hunger, political strife, and social division. Sometimes it seems so overwhelming that you want to give up on the future of humanity and the planet, but then something comes along and reminds us even if we can't be "eternal optimists," perhaps at least we can try to be "addicted to hope." Thank you! ❤️
My father who i wasn't allowed to see died a few days ago, one of my sisters kept me from him, she had him cremated before she texted me he had died. I only have good memories of him and it wasn't his fault that i didn't grow up with him after the age of 5. But I mourn him and the hope that I had to have a relationship with my siblings. They killed my hope my telling me I shouldn't be where I'm not wanted. My glad I'm not like any of them! My carrier is of service to the public and that and the love I have for my children are the things that have kept me alive and give me hope and purpose in life. God bless and protect the good and kindhearted we don't deserve to be scapegoats for anyone's anger.
True, when I first discovered this channel, it was mind blowing that such a channel could even exist. Now I know, that if a channel like this can exist, on the internet, then there can be more too, and I want to find them!!!
I don't think he said he was searching for meaning. He said " find meaning in whatever you are doing ". I.e whatever you are doing , as long as it's meaningful to you , it will be connected to spirit and you will never be alone. 🌛
"Uncle" Theo, as I call him, is an amazing soul. He cares very much about other people. He has taught many things in life and as a sparkle kid member, I am very fortunate to have him in my life. Continue the good work that you do Uncle❣
Hello Oyama 💚 thank you for sharing your feelings and gratitude! Who knows, maybe you will go on to become just like Theo when you are older 💚 Justine and Michael
His line " Once what you are doing has a meaning, you are content " inspires me in so many ways. He came as a stranger to my life and saw so much hope in me, everytime I get a chance to talk to him, I always feel alive and filled with positivity. I kinda thought I am so not bright, but he explained to me how bright I am until I believed and proven that to myself 🙂. Meeting him was just a blessing. I am forever grateful 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience and your feeling with us Nosibusiso 💚 We are so glad that you have the opportunity to interact with Theo. May you shine brightly wherever you go 💚 Justine and Michael
Hi Alexandra 💚 there are beautiful people all around us, but sometimes life is so busy we don't always notice them. We are so glad that you enjoy our films! Justine and Michael
I've learned this thing that, even if it's easier said than done, don't stop saying it !! It gives me strength, talking to myself, cheering myself up by saying that "you got this " , trust me it really does 🤞
And to our incredibly special team of translators, who share so freely of their time, energy and passion to help these stories to reach a wider audience - we are truly grateful!!

Marianne Carrere, thaks for the subtitles in spanish! It allows me to enjoy the wonder of so many people that you present to us in these beautiful videos. Thank you! ♥
Yes, we thank everyone who is willing to translate in all languages! They are very important so that more people can receive and understand such important and sensitive messages that you bring us...
after 7 years non stop self-help and 2 years intense trauma-therapy ......today I can say: Instead of living, I just survived. And I lost everything that was important to me. Thats not life. Nature is life, nothing else. My only advice to younger people: Go into nature and breathe. Stop trying to fix yourself - this is pointless!
A man I love very deeply once told me “You’re not broken. Welcome to life.” We go in search of self help and healing, and it can be an endless cycle. What we really need, and the gentleman in the video said it, is understanding. This is the mirror, we often see it in nature. The trees reflected over the water, the geometry we name sacred. When I see myself in you, and vice versa, there isn’t room for judgement. Only love, tolerance and acceptance. “Small moves, Ellie, small moves” A quote from one of my favorite movies.
“Stand in awe of what people have had to carry, rather than how they carry it” wow! That hit my ❤️ thank you for another amazing video Green Renaissance
I am perfectly happy when I am good and loving to my pets and see they are well and happy. My dog does the same as the dog in the film, touches me to get my attention. He always gets it, and my whole heart, eternally. I carry all my deceased pets in my heart, every moment. I feel the love they have showed me, is the purpose of my life. An absolutely wonderful film and wisdom shared, thank you.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and that is how wonderfully refreshing Green Renaissance is. I’m not sure who I’m in love with more, this beautiful man or this sweet pooch who seems to be listening to every word he says ☮️💜🇨🇦
This was what I needed to hear this morning. Lovely person indeed, so kind and wise. The fact that you keep finding people like him gives me hope that there are many more of them out there than I thought. They are quietly going about the business of changing the world instead of complaining it. Thank you once again. 🙏
What a smart thing to say ....I have lived on the road of hope as long as I know myself ...believing there is always something good that I can do and see and in my dark moments the light arrives....being South African born and living in a country far away my hope is always in my pocket😍 free to give away 😍
Another phenomenal film, thank you 🥰 “Stand in awe of what people have carried rather than in judgment of how they carry it” - such tears and an expanded heart from this powerful quote! 🥰 Much love from Edmonton Canada 🇨🇦 💜❤️
"It will be good people that will turn the tide"- "that wake up goodness in each other" Off to bed now in Australia with that lovely thought. Thank you GR
"It will be the good people that wake up goodness in each other. If you can ignite enough hearts around you, it does its work. " It is so true that the minor things done quietly are usually the greatest in our daily life even nobody notices.
I just love your videos! 💚 They should be shown in school as a part of learning what really matters in life. For example that it is nice to be loved but giving love is even more. Thank you so much! ♥️
Sparkle kids has brought hope our community and has given us the chance to know we are worth being educated and improving our lives. Forever grateful for getting a chance at living a meaningful life and to believe in myself. Thank you Theo and Angie for making us realize that we have a purpose and allowing us to sparkle regardless of our background ♥️♥️♥️🥺
♥️ So Beautiful ♥️ I have always believed that the measure of a human being is governed by how they treat animals. You my friend, are a beautiful soul ♥️

A truly beautiful , giving , and most modest man , who is having an amazing impact on those who have been less fortunate in life.Thank you GR for yet another jewel which pulses with love and humanity.
The beauty of this video cannot be expressed - in every aspect - the participants, the filming, the music, the editing, the content. This is one of our favorites of all of your videos - which is a tremendous statement and feeling - as every single video you make moves the two of us in ways we are forever changed and grateful. Please convey to this amazing man our sentiments. I feel what I write here speaks for many. He may not have “belonged” based on his “coming into the world circumstances” - yet, his being - his very being - and what is doing with his life - gives us all a gift - of belonging - with him, with others, with the world. What an incredible wise, loving, giving, compassionate, strong and gentle person he is. And aren’t his animals such reflections of his gentleness - and joy?! Indeed. There was SO much to hold onto with and from this video. We have watched it again and again and each time feel so grateful to “have” this man and this video in our life. Two of his statements hit us in particularly strong ways: “Once what you are doing has meaning for you, you are content. You belong.” “You can never enough of that which does not satisfy you.” We will henceforth carry those two quotes with us wherever we go. Thank you - to every person involved in bringing this incredible man’s story to light. We are the better people for it.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write such a meaningful response 💚 We are so glad that this film touched you and we will pass your message along. Michael and Justine
Ох,Как я люблю и всегда любила"странных" людей,не таких как все.Людей ,имеющих смелость оставаться собой и жить,Как велит сердце.Да,это требует смелости и даже мужества.Это значит,противостоять толпе и плыть против течения.Меня восхищают и привлекают такие люди,они становятся для меня учителями и большой поддержкой.Спасибо,дорогие,что вы есть на этом свете !
What a beautiful human being. I have watched half a dozen times! Love the content from his shoes, his home, of course, the beloved croissant-eating dog…and his message. I cried.
… “ I’m not an eternal optimist but I am addicted to hope” … Thank you Green Renaissance, you keep my soul alive with your work and I’m grateful.. My contribution to Patreon is on its way xx
Hello Frank Thank you so much for following us 💚 We are very grateful for your support, and so pleased that our films are food for your soul! Best wishes, Michael and Justine
As the week ends and the weekend starts I’m always itching for your video to come out! It’s a light of hope for me and motivates me to be more present in this life and look around a bit more to appreciate it all. Love you guys! Thank you.
Love this message; it really resonates with me. I work as an early childhood special education teacher with children from poverty. My very best days are those when I feel myself actively sharing my own light with my students and they are absorbing it. They deserve to know they are so much more than the circumstances they were born into. If I can convey that understanding with my love and light, I feel I am making a real and meaningful difference!!! Thanks again for your beautiful and inspiring work!
No words can express the joy I feel when I watch this video. Thank you and your team for chasing precious souls and sharing their stories. Hope is the light that destroys darkness in everyone's life and shows the way for tomorrow. We become more fortunate in spirit when we become a light of hope to those less fortunate.
Perfect timing...once again ⭐🤲🏻 Thank you ! every single day for your unique and inspiring films...super intriguing people and I am sharing the series with people too !
This is the power of a mentor, teacher, the power to inspire hope... He found his flame, kept it lit, and lights the flame of hope in others:) That is everything:)😊 Amazing:)😊🌺😊
"I may not have a say in where I was born in but I have a say in where I will end up in". Such kind and inspiring words from our father Uncle Theo. I've had a wonderful journey as a sparkle kid with our great father who always encourages us to do better in life and be better versions of ourselves.
Wow this such an amazing and wonderful video🙏😍💞💟yes we should "being of value to somebody else" We are born into the world as the hand of God and a blessing to the world💞💞😇 Thank you Guru for your beautiful story..💟
The moment in my life that I realised that a little act of support and encouragement to another person was making a tremendously big difference, that moment something shifted inside of me and fundamentally changed my view on life and people. We all have that potential inside of us, no matter the position or place. Once you tap into it, you start seeing the multiplicator effect of it, also because it is so contageous. Thanks again Green Renaissance; the essence of what you do is all about hope. These people and your platform make this world a better place.
Thank you for your beautiful message 💚 Just by commenting here you are making the world a better place - imagine what could be accomplished if everyone believed in, supported and nurtured just one other person in their lives! Michael and Justine
Wow just wow. ‘ Stand in awe of what people have had to carry rather than standing judgement of how they have carried it.“ this is real heavenly wisdom. Thank you
There are no words to explain how much our souls are nourished from theses videos ! They have been my soul food for the last past weeks ! Thanks 🙏 so much and pls keep up the work ! 🥰
Wow, thank you Tamm. We so appreciate these kind words and support. So glad that these videos can help and inspire you. We certainly plan to release more videos. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
This is freaking profound: "Even though I had no say where where I was born into life, I have EVERY right to say WHERE I end up in life." Beautiful.
Nice that these words were so valuable to you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
A beautiful portrait of my dad and what drives him. Beautifully filmed and edited as well. Very well done Green Renaissance 💚
You are absolutely blessed to have a dad that loves and cares for life and has hope and the grace of being alive ♥ with the love and kindness that we all can see and hear from his presence.

That man is searching for meaning of life but the dog beside him is living the life.......

Ох,Как я люблю и всегда любила"странных" людей,не таких как все.Людей ,имеющих смелость оставаться собой и жить,Как велит сердце.Да,это требует смелости и даже мужества.Это значит,противостоять толпе и плыть против течения.Меня восхищают и привлекают такие люди,они становятся для меня учителями и большой поддержкой.Спасибо,дорогие,что вы есть на этом свете !
Thank you for these kind words, we are so glad his message touched and helps you. Take courage. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

The sub-story to all these stories are the amazing animal companions that give us humans love. The unconditional love of animals and nature. ❤
Beautiful words. True, animals and also nature make such a difference in our lives, they teach us so much. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

As the week ends and the weekend starts I’m always itching for your video to come out! It’s a light of hope for me and motivates me to be more present in this life and look around a bit more to appreciate it all. Love you guys! Thank you.
Me too!! I am also super excited when another video is released!!
Hi Dylan, that's really wonderful to hear - thanks for sharing how you feel 💚
Sending lots of love and happiness your way!
Justine and Michael
Love this message; it really resonates with me. I work as an early childhood special education teacher with children from poverty. My very best days are those when I feel myself actively sharing my own light with my students and they are absorbing it. They deserve to know they are so much more than the circumstances they were born into. If I can convey that understanding with my love and light, I feel I am making a real and meaningful difference!!! Thanks again for your beautiful and inspiring work!
And thank you for your kindhearted work too😀❤️
Hello Susan 💚 Thank you for your beautiful, inspiring message! The work that you do is so important to the world - thank you 💚

Michael and Justine
No words can express the joy I feel when I watch this video. Thank you and your team for chasing precious souls and sharing their stories. Hope is the light that destroys darkness in everyone's life and shows the way for tomorrow. We become more fortunate in spirit when we become a light of hope to those less fortunate.

The moment in my life that I realised that a little act of support and encouragement to another person was making a tremendously big difference, that moment something shifted inside of me and fundamentally changed my view on life and people.
We all have that potential inside of us, no matter the position or place. Once you tap into it, you start seeing the multiplicator effect of it, also because it is so contageous.
Thanks again Green Renaissance; the essence of what you do is all about hope.
These people and your platform make this world a better place.
Thank you for your beautiful message 💚
Just by commenting here you are making the world a better place - imagine what could be accomplished if everyone believed in, supported and nurtured just one other person in their lives!
Michael and Justine
Wow just wow. ‘ Stand in awe of what people have had to carry rather than standing judgement of how they have carried it.“ this is real heavenly wisdom. Thank you
