80s Memory...

November 24, 2007

There is some commercial currently running that plays Love My Way from the 80s. It reminded me of how much I like the song. Thank you, YouTube....

Giving Thanks

November 21, 2007

I am thankful for the abundant food we will be having tomorrow. I am so very thankful for my friends, The Women, who are inviting me to their extraordinary get-together with (at last count) 23 of us! I am thankful for every single day that I am alive because it is one more chance to get it right.

I am thankful for my little town. I am thankful for my hometown.  I am thankful for my beautiful family who graces my life with love and warmth and dreams and so much kindness. I am thankful they knew me when. I am thankful for all the good and all the bad, because every last moment of my life has brought me to this point --- and there couldn't be a better point in the Universe than Now.

The Food and Water Watch group (http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/) has a few gems this issue to read up on and to watch. One of them is a short film about knowing your food, keeping it close by and celebrating with local treasures (they say to copy/paste the link into your browser's address bar to watch, so I'll give you both)

I just took the pledge to use tap (or kitchen-filtered) water instead of bottled water whenever possible. I purchased another counter-top filter for my self-given holiday gift. Considering the bottles I will keep out of the landfills, it is a gift to the earth as well. Happy Holidays, my sweet Mother Earth.

When I was vacationing with my family this past June I created a bin for the recyclables so that we could limit the TONS of garbage we were putting in the dumpster on a daily basis. I purchased a "pop up" mesh laundry bin at the dollar store and lined it with a huge garbage bag. In only three days the bag was more than full.

My dad and step mother had gotten an 8 bedroom beach house and there ended up being around 23 or 24 of us coming or going. Unfortunately, three days was the length of my stay and I seriously doubt anyone took up the recycle habit while I was away. Oh well. We all gotta do our best.

So please visit the water page and think about taking your own pledge to use water sources other than bottled whenever you can http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/water/Alerts/bottled-water

May all of you experience enormous love and warmth on this holiday season.
