"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

The End (I hope) of the Beginning

This is what I posted one year ago;

Tonight, today is the end of the old and tomorrow is the beginning of the new. 2010 was a grand year in many respects and a devastating year in others YET, I am looking forward to what 2011 has in store for us as a family and as individuals.....so without further ado...

This is how I started my Holiday letter in December for 2011:

I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy and full of wisdom!! For me, 2011, will go down as a year of extremes. It has been a busy year, a hectic year, a chaotic year, a crazy year, a stressful year, and one that many times left me wondering if the sun will truly come out tomorrow. :)
Needless to say I look forward to 2012!!!

And that pretty much sums up my thoughts...so again without further ado...

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!! and here's hoping for a better year in 2012 (at least for me)
