Imagine a world where we really care! That was the theme of my last blog as I longed for intense concern and effort to keep our world healthy. The kind of enthusiastic dedication we had during WWII when we fought against potential disaster of a different kind.
Well, here’s one opportunity we can each afford, a step in the deliciously right direction.
Even if you are a denier, I’ll bet you can join in the desire to feed everyone with healthy options

Ah. LOVELY isnt it
On has to believe it can be done, and do whatever small part is available.
Imagine a world where people care, an almost impossible task in today’s world, a world where it is about the self. At my age I can see so many changes from my youth until now. I don’t like all of them. Some are worthy, but the hearts of many are broken glass
And then there are the small signs — local gardens in what used to be city junk yards, the fairly rapid growth of solar power, the pay-it-forward folk, he people who respond in dangerous zones to help heal and reduce things like e-bola, and more. The problem is, they don’t make the news except when someone gets his head hacked off, literally or figuratively.
I guess that’s my plea Lets make it big news when we work for the health of our earth and the peoplel in it.
Thanks for commenting.
Try this for an example of the “little” kindnesses that don’t hit the major news outlets. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/09/19/1330890/-Anonymous-donor-steps-up-in-Montana-pays-back-taxes-on-30-40-homes-designated-for-auction?detail=email3
This person reminds me of my mother. My mother was a big boss for an electric and gas company. She had money but never let anyone know. She would talk to customers who couldn’t pay their bill but had really tried. After they left, she went and paid them
Terry, your mother was the height of biblical giving — not for show, but for love and kindness. A reason to be proud.
And this makes me happy too! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/09/18/1330677/-POTUS-Announces-14-Executive-Actions-to-Deploy-Solar-Energy?detail=email3#
Do you really think this will happen?
Yes, Terry. I think it will happen, with or without Obama’s help. It is becoming a successful business reaching the tipping point of affordability and desirability. There are good things happening …
I just finished reading Figs & Pomegranates & Special Cheeses, and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I particularly liked how you skillfully told the riveting story of how Dara evolved and grew over the years. The story is wonderfully grounded by Dara’s love for Job, and her bold words and actions. I enjoyed seeing how you handled the tensions that emerged as Dara sought to understand her role and her husband’s God.
Oh my, Sheryl, thank you! Thank you! You made my day, or rather my night, ’cause I read this just before climbing into bed last evening. You helped contribute to my good night’s sleep, and that’s a very good thing.
Would you be willing to post this as a review on amazon.com? It’s the kind of thing that would help potential readers (as well as my marketing efforts.)
By the way, in which format did you read it? paperback or Kindle?
You’re welcome. I enjoyed the book. I read the paperback version. I’d be happy to do a review–but had problems with the Amazon site. I sent you an email.
