The Holidays offer many opportunities for gathering with family, friends and our community. May the below offer a tid-bit for your taste buds, ideas and considerations to compliment your celebrations.
Why Buy Local or Regional?
Today, much of our food, conventional and organic alike, is traveling literally thousands of miles from farm to fork. Along the way, food loses its nutritional value, burns fossil fuels, and contributes to global warming. Local foods provide exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen our local economy, and support endangered family farms.

How to Trust Yourself and Make the Choices That Are Right for You
Featuring: The Rose Petal Ceremony for Living the Full Life
It's a funny thing about life. If you refuse to settle for anything less than the best, that's what it will give you. — W. Somerset Maugham
As you probably know, life is not always a bed of roses.
We long for things we can't grab hold of—a great relationship, more money, peace of mind. Things befall us that we haven't quite bargained for—infertility, a miserable boss, a fire, the death of a loved one. Although so much in life is out of our control, we often try to hold on to or force a situation rather than surrender to our own unique divine plan.

Gifts for All Seasons & Good Reasons . . .
During the Holidays, the main shopping season of the year, spending typically skyrockets in the USA . Gil Friend, a leading s ustainability consultant, recently commented about the term “consumers”, as being reminiscent of the medical disorder “consumption”; a progressive wasting of the body. He asked: “remember when we/Americans were referred to as citizens?”
As citizens of a increasingly interdependent and interconnected world, what we purchase is our chance to support the values, practices, people and organizations that we wish to see flourish. It is in these and other daily actions that our mindful choices can affect our whole biosphere.
The following briefly touches upon topics, gift ideas, resources and links to help reduce the impact of our consumption on the environment, minimize social & economic inequalities and help create a sustainable world that “works for everyone.”

20 Years Later
Have you ever been in the audience of some enthusiastic performer who tries to get everyone to sing along, clap their hands, or somehow get you out of your comfort zone? I've always done a good job of resisting those performers and keeping my lack of rhythmic abilities to myself.
Oh sure, when the kids were younger I could get silly, clap a little and sing along for the purposes of modeling good audience participation to the youngsters. But as I have matured, getting up out of my seat to sing in my off-key voice and clap in my uncoordinated way has become less of a recurring event. At least until I met singer/songwriter, Karl Anthony.

Where Children Learn of a Higher Power Beyond the Principal’s Office
When we send our kids off to school we expect that they will learn reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic, and we hope that they will learn some life skills such as gratitude, respect, and integrity along the way. But the truth is, in most public school classrooms, there is little time for in-depth discussions of life-skills. And God forbid, our teachers should say anything that might imply there is a higher power beyond the principal's office. In an attempt to please everyone, school systems have all but sterilized the classroom of topics such as “higher purpose, higher power, or higher self.” It seems the heart and soul of a child's innocent connection to Spirit has been neutralized by our educational system from Kindergarten on. This is not acceptable to Kalli Sorensen, mother of a five-year old kindergartener and the wife of a church minister.
