"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Christmas In Haiti

There are several amoms in Haiti, taking pictures, bringing presents from adopting parents unable to make it and then of course Marie is planning a big Christmas party for the children. I am really excited about Christmas at home with Tuki, but I can't help but be a little torn knowing my girls are celebrating a Christmas in Haiti without us, or us without them. My family is torn apart and I will be happy(ier) if that is even possible, when we are all under one roof.

The word is; via our yahoo PAC group; that there are some awesome pictures being taken and many more planned. Along with some great videos. The pictures should help in the "wait" part of the process, for a least a little while any way.

I am hosting the family Christmas gathering. I have quite the spread planned. Wish me luck in getting it all done and tasty too. Plus include that on Christmas eve I am attending my sister's house in the am, then driving E to the airport and watching his dog until sometime on Christmas day, and also we are attending the Christmas eve service. Crazy days ahead and I plan to rest on Wednesday the 26th!!!!!!!!

But, Guess what;
I LOVE ALL THIS CRAZINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
