-- Quote of the Day --  --> “We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks.  That’s what connects us – that we’re all broken,  all beautifully imperfect.” ~ Emilio Estevez  -- Path to Green Living --  As many of our loyal blog readers may recall when Dave and I first took over this property some 19 months ago, we had the home evaluated for energy efficiency and upon receiving their recommendations made some strategic choices on eco-improvements based on ROI and rebates that were available. As such we were able to replace all the doors and windows, insulate and finish the basement, upgraded all the appliances, furnace and hot water systems, installed an insulated garage door, upgraded some electronic office and entertainment equipment, and a more water savvy purification system for drinking water.  We also did a lot of physical work to the home including insulation and proper venting in the att...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Even something seemingly innocuous as eating a better diet can make change because they start to think about the food and where it comes from and whether there were pesticides used, and they might look at purchasing organic foods, and then they may start to think about local farms, and then they might think about top soil and… they might think about the larger implications such as run off and dead zones. So what started out as a small change ended up being a multi-faceted change and then this impacts the people around them. …Sustainability is really the same thing as well-being – in the broadest sense of the term, for example people have adequate food and security… creative expression, meaningful jobs, contributing to others, having access to education, recreation, breathing clean air, drinking clean water, having the opportunity to see pristine nature, justice, and political empowerment… etc. …Being sustainable means making well ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “I go to writer’s meetings, save all the receipts, keep track of where I go because everything is a write-off – this is a business. Even in my workshops for teens that I do in the summer I devote part of that time to marketing and business aspects of being a writer. …When I think of reward days – those are the days that I have the whole day just to write. …Writing is actually a small part of the job – what I see a lot of is that people love to write but they don’t want to market or run their business. …and they don’t want to learn the whole process they just want to write and maybe sign some books. …I think in every new project, because you can’t put your finger on exactly how it works, even if you are super organized you don’t have everything there that is going to make that book work. Because you don’t know or understand the creative work – well, I think I start every new project with thoughts like am I going to lose what I have…...
