Ode To Water 02/01/2010
 With water become more and more precious, I do not take it for granted. And with my showers becoming shorter and rare with baby needing my attention, I just have to say, "Oh my God! There is nothing better than a long HOT shower!" disclaimer: no, I'm not running around in a b.o. funk! I have been bathing. Just not quite as often. :0) Now a sweet poem; Millions of water drops drops of water millions of drops Falling down the rocks Millions of water drops Glittering in the sun Shining like pearls Millions of water drops Ending as a river Finding way to ocean Millions of water drops Creating childrens happiness Laughter and joyfullness Millions of water drops Soon will tide reach White long shores Millions of water drops Animating Waves into forming caves Millions of water drops splittering from above till reaching top of the hill Millions of water drops Without them no sound No whispers of the living Millions of water drops Watch the clearness From crest to earth Millions of water drops For tribe’s best Beware of waste Millions of water drops Treasured should they be As belonging to all humanity by Mencita (Carmen) Monoi Angel found on { here } * p.s. Never take for granted a hot shower. Help Save 3 Cows! 01/31/2010
 I want to help my friend Jodi save some beautiful bovines. I'm helping where I can. Since she is doing most of the work, I figure I can at least help spread the word. Please throw in a dollar or two. It all helps! Here is a repost of her plea: Hi, I am reaching out to all friends of animals and asking for your help in saving 3 sweet cows. I just found out that the 3 cows who graze on our land were scheduled to be slaughtered today. We asked the owner if he would consider selling the cows to us instead. He has agreed to that, but would need the money ($3600) in full in just 2 weeks. We were hoping that he would take payments - and that would give us enough time to put a fundraiser together, but he wasn't willing to do that. We're just happy that he's given us a 2-week extension. We have named them Pooka Cow (the brown one), Spotty Friend, and Less Spotty Friend. I am reaching out to you all and asking for help-mainly through donations. Also through networking and getting the word out to everyone you know. I just can't imagine not raising this money in time-they are only 2 years old and have many more years of happy lives to live. The first step is to raise enough money to save them from being slaughtered. You can click here to donate: http://save3cows.chipin.com/saving-3-cows-from-slaughter (or see "chip in" widget box below) You can also send a check to: This Is IT! Creations P.O. Box 1252 Jacksonville, OR 97530 100% of your donation will go toward saving these cows. Our first priority is to raise enough money to save them from being killed. After that, we will focus on raising money to take care of them. We've been asked where the cows will go if we do raise enough money to save them - they will stay here, at least for the short term. We have 11 acres of land, a barn, and a stream. We are planning to create a line of products where all of the profits will go toward their care (hay, vet bills, fence mending, etc.) If we can find a loving family with enough land to adopt them, we are definitely open to that as well. Thanks so much, you guys! Jodi VegSource wants to know "Are You PHYSICALLY ADDICTED to Chocolate, Cheese, Meat, or Sugar?" 01/22/2010
We all know cigarettes, coffee and crack are addictive. But did you know that chocolate, cheese, meat and sugar are addictive too? They actually release opiate-like substances in your brain that cause you to crave and eat more and more. Willpower is not to blame! Neal Barnard MD -- founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) -- shows just how this works, and how industry, aided by government, exploits these natural cravings, pushing us to eat more and more unhealthy foods. What is the solution? Watch Dr. Barnard's full 40-minute presentation and find out: http://vegsource.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/news/649858624054/ Peas & Love, Jeff and Sabrina P.S. Please share VegSource with friends and colleagues. And 7 days makes a week 01/17/2010

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication 01/15/2010
 To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs { Title Quote by Leonardo DaVinci } I caught a birdie! 01/14/2010
 I wanted to take the front window 365 photo first thing this morning before the sun came over the ridge. My thought was that I wanted to capture the cloudy look. In addition to capturing the clouds, I captured a bird. Flying through the frame, forever suspended en route, in search for food before the threatened snow storm. Looking forward to summer sunrise shots! { ΓΌ d c } 01/13/2010

365 01/09/2010
Project 365... A photo a day. I spilt my 365 up into two projects; one is 'front window 365' & the other is 'my life'. I technically began this project on 1.3.2010, so I should be calling it 362. But for simplicity sake, I will leave it 365. To read more about project 365, follow the link below :: All my photos can be found on my
 page. I will only post chosen photos weekly.Here are the first round of 'Front Window 365'; Literally taken from my front window, usually while sitting at my desk/computer.   Here is "My Life" 365 for the past six days...enjoy :0) |      { Categories }All { Archives }
