a way of being

happy earth day!!!!

i partnered with jack johnson for this little message.

well, sort of.

i totally agree with him.

and he might be my boyfriend.

and he doesn't know about that either. (but big red knows and he's totally alright with it. he's so evolved) you can watch jack here.

we aren't brand new to this bandwagon. we do our part. little things everyday. you probably do too. is there something else you could do to be kind to the earth today and tomorrow. a new habit--a way of being?

i'm promising to carry the reusable bags into the store. i'm making it a bigger priority than i have in the past.

we were hoping to walk a local park today but it's raining and two people in this house are under the weather already.

i'll check out B Kind 2 Earth Day's facebook page. you can too. but there are other things we could do. what if, all at once, we all took a bigger step to care for our collective world. what if we all voted with our time, energy and money to people and causes, politicans and goods that represented our love for this earth we are all living on. can you imagine?



love and light all at once

coaching, focusing and editing....or this is the post where i try to make sense of random things....

i'm smitten with picnik--the photo editing site. i haven't even joined, so much that you can do for free. i can fiddle away hours playing with text and saturation, exposure and frames.

last night was r's basketball year-end get-together at the local dairy queen. the boys were their usual silly, adorable spunky selves. 10 and 11 year old boys.

we've always been especially thankful for the men--in our case, all men that have stepped up to coach our boys in sports. i would love to do it, red would love to do it. only one little itty-bitty problem. we aren't sporty. we learn the sports our boys are wild about as they are playing. makes for fun side-lines, but not so helpful coaches. so here we were again, thankful for coach gary for being who we needed--being the person we cannot be--for our son and for the other boys on this team.

it is always a treat to hear a coach say a few kind and helpful words to young people. i only teared up a teeny-tiny bit.

as we stepped outside, the sky was still all soft and whisper-y--a glow in shades of blue, lavender, pink and orange.

by the time we arrived home and i high-tailed it to the backyard this is what it looked like.

if you are in the states, there seems to be a good chance your sky last night was similarly beautiful. my facebook homepage was streaming with photos from all over--all sunsets.

i wondered what i could possibly change on this picture of the sky on picnik. nothing. it seems it was already perfectly altered.


love and good lighting
