“Hope is
the thing with feathers,
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune
without the words,
and never stops at all.”

Emily Dickinson

 
Today I am holding on to the hope that I may somehow make a difference in this overwhelmingly mad, mad world that we live in — choosing to be an informed consumer, making smarter choices for my family and the environment, and living my life in a way that lessens the impact on the world around us.

   Melanie - in regards to your post on my blog - my secret is I don’t sleep. LOL. I sleep 5-6 hours a night and that’s it! Starbucks is my friend…
