"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

Resting Lion


I am content and rested as a lounging lion after a hearty meal because......

I finally decided to make a leap of faith and attempt to call Haiti to find out the progress of my girl's cases and to discuss some other information.

After 3 attempts this is the news that I have received:

Cheetah is in IBESR....since February 20!!!! Her number is 16395, and I will post it on my side bar. Can you believe that, 5 weeks already. I am beginning to realize that no news is not necessarily no movement, just no news relayed.. Hearing that Cheetah is in IBESR is a big relief for me since it will be a year this June that she has been at the creche, and it will easily be around another year before she comes home.

Not sure of all the nuts and bolts of Haiti adoptions, so if you are confused, join the club!!!

Marie wasn't sure if Panda was out of Parquet..she said she had to check with someone to find out for sure.

BTW, we are home today, and I will explain later.......

WHOOOHOOOO!!!! So glad to hear that your girl is in IBESR! I too have to constantly remind myself that no news just means on my end of things--it doesn't mean that things aren't happening down. Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll hear some good news about your Parquet file very soon :)
