"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

Saturday Activity

Ve attended her soccer game, she scored two goals and the coach came up to me after and stated enthusiastically "Boy, I love having Ve on my team, our score was down and with her two goals we won the game"

Tuki attended her first guitar lesson, it will be slow moving, but she wants to learn any and all things musical, so we attend. I will be learning as much as her since I have to help her practice thru the week.

I feel it is very important to support my kids in their interests, to help them find their passions. Having a passion is what makes life so much more enjoyable. I have seen adults still wandering, not knowing what they are really passionate about, and it seems like it is much harder and less joyful than those who know what they love and pursue what they love. This does make us very busy at times, but still I think it is still worth it.

AND....let the drum roll begin....Mim and I finished putting up the new chicken run....and boy the chickens are sure passionate about being outside...finally!!! :) photos to follow later.
