"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

Summer is ON!!

Tuki and Ve's swim, tennis and skating lessons are going full steam. I put Mim on a bus today at 1:00pm for a 4 day running camp. She was soooo nervous, she was babbling non-stop. A sure sign she is nervous. When I was going over her packing, I saw she had packed a photo of me to go along with her to camp. It was so sweet. Once we arrived, she saw a few of her friends and quickly felt better. We all already miss her!!

I have added a few photos from around home. I love it around here when all is growing rapidly and everything is green.

The water bearer and garden are beautiful!
I haven't been here in much too long (again) so I'm catching up!
Hope you and your girls have a great summer.
