Pot Luck Dinner

Let's have a Pot Luck! Or whatever you call gathering together in your country to share a meal, where everyone brings a dish of some delicious simple food they've made with their own hand.

Pot Lucks are a time of sharing, giving and receiving. Where we are on equaled ground giving and taking. Sharing company, thoughts, love and community.

What is simpler than a Pot Luck?

Spread the word, The world needs to have more Pot Lucks!

Sierra Club Needs Our Help

The U.S. Forest Service in all its wisdom is considering opening up the Giant Sequoia National Monument for logging!

Are you kidding me? Sequoias are the most massive trees on the planet. Some are almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty and date back 3,500 years! This makes Giant Sequoias some of the oldest trees on Earth. Who in their right mind would want to allow logging industry anywhere near them?

We need to contact President Obama, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now not later to finally bring real protection to the Giant Sequoia National Monument by transferring management from the U.S. Forest Service, which has shown little regard toward protecting this beautiful place, to the National Park Service, which will better preserve this natural treasure.

You can visit www.sierraclub.org for more information and a petition request. Your can also check out the direct link to Sierra Club in "Links I Like".

Don’t let the few decide for the many, stand up and be counted!

One Sun, One Ocean, One Sky, One Planet

How did we all become so divided? If we think about it for a moment we all live under the same sun, breath the same air, are surrounded by the same ocean and live on the same planet.

That in itself is an amazing thing, if we just take a moment to think about it that is.

New Direction

Well it's been a long, very long election and it's finally over! This had to be a record turn out at the polls. It seems Obama has helped turn a corner for much of the world. It seems as if the last eight years of plain old mismanagement are finally coming to an end.

Watching the news this morning I found it very interesting how much the rest of the world was watching "our presidential" election. There were shots of the European community cheering; the Israelis were cheering and more were cheering. It seems the rest of the world is as glad to see the end of the reign of GW as we are.

Obama and his advisors won't be able to untangle the mess GW and Cheney have gotten us into overnight, but at least they are willing to start.
