Drew Barrymore on how her friend Cameron Diaz finally inspired her to think about the environment: 'I wish that I was awake about this before, and I just wasn’t'
Drew Barrymore has a new morning ritual. She calls it “Byrd time,” named after a teacher, Patricia Byrd, she met in Dallas during an episode of her talk show,. Barrymore, 47, had asked Byrd how she could start her days more purposefully, and Byrd told her, “Make room to be quiet and find your intention.” So now after Barrymore wakes up at 6:30 a.m., she spends five minutes doing just that.
[After we started,] I noticed that my kids and I started going, “Oh, we should put that woman in our gratitude journal who was so nice to us at the Dunkin’ Donuts.” Or I’ll challenge the girls by saying, “What are you grateful for today?” Sometimes I’ll just hand it to them with a pen and go, “Write. Just write something.” And I’ll get to find what they write in it later, which is always a delightful surprise, because sometimes it’s humorous and sometimes it’s really heartfelt.
I wish that I was awake about this before, and I just wasn’t. Cameron Diaz who has been like my sister the majority of my life, she’s been on top of me about this for 25 years. And she was so ahead of the game. She would do a show calledon MTV that was all about eco, and she would make me get a Prius and turn off all my lights and yell at me when I was letting the water run in the sink while brushing my teeth.
