"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

Highlights on Tuki's Birthday Party

Tuki's birthday party was today.


Tuki's birthday cake. It was a pumpkin/chocolate chip muffin recipe. I made it into a cake. It was a little heavier than a cake usually is, but ohh so good. I had froze the pumpkin weeks ago, and rather excited it turned out so well since it is the first time I had done that.


Tuki enjoying the family singing Happy Birthday to her.


Blowing out the 8 crayola candles and the number "2" candle.


Enjoying the cake. In her eyes it was the best.


Opening gifts. She had received many wonderful gifts from our family and friends.


Playing with her new cars (yes, she likes cars) with cousin M.
