Cooking from scratch, buying used when needed, and driving our hybrid car minimally all make life sweeter. <br />I have been dreaming of a way to give airlines the finger (I know, don't travel...I have a weakness for mountains and forests). Our recent flight to the Pacific NW was standard: the needs of the consumer took a backseat to the gnawing hunger of capitalism. <br />Is there a way to get WA closer to TX? Maybe retiring there is a good plan. ;)<br />Thanks for your refreshing support in living the simple life, as always!Erinhttps://erinswhite.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-52656117580978323772015-07-09T00:45:51.266-03:002015-07-09T00:45:51.266-03:00Pam,

We are reaching a turning point where so many things are peaking at the same time. We have passed a critical point and the people are ready to create a better world.<br /><br />It must be amazing to be where you are right now in this historic moment. Hate, whether for other people or the earth, can not take root in a garden of compassion and love.

A great big YES!
Go citizens of Greece!
I ...YES! A great big YES! <br /><br />Go citizens of Greece!<br /><br />I believe my small acts of boycotting and giving the finger to lots of little things do matter. It's standing up to power to refusing to be manipulated by them. Refreshing to be reminded.<br /><br />The people here in South Carolina, USA are standing up against the powers that keep racism firmly embedded in the culture here. It's exhilarating.<br /><br />I have to say I've been concerned about the younger generation and the attitude of entitlement that's been wired into them by marketing, etc. But I'm now noticing they are coming out of the woodwork and standing up for things that matter. It's quite impressive to see them saying NO to the old way of doing things. They are using social media to this advantage and not afraid to stand up, shout out and changes are happening. There is hope. Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735740353891550502noreply@blogger.com
