Wednesday

an interior journey

around the interior of bc that is...

Mark, Sasha and I just got back from a week long road trip that took us to Clinton, Chase and Castlegar...with many stops in between.

i'm full of thoughts on sustainability, community, plastic and more...but first i have to get in touch with the reality of being on strike...plenty of thoughts around this too...

family blog with all the cute pics of Sasha had to be updated first...next opportunity I have to do some writing will be here...

one thing i'd like to ponder on after seeing the success of my friends event in castlegar is the complexity...or ease...of organizing in ones community when it is small...or large...

Tuesday

rejuvenated :)

our family learning project focusing on plastic took a long pause back in april. after returning from our trip to ontario, i jumped back into work the first week of may (the year off with baby was a total time warp!)...so i've been just a wee bit distracted for the past few months ;)

we've settled into a new groove around my auxilary hours at britannia, and i'm full of gratitude at the amount of time i'm still fortunate to have at home with Sasha! i've also been busy with community stuff which has been moocho fun :)

the 'convenience' of plastics has continued to be a mainstay in my decision making around our family's needs...we haven't completely fallen off the wagon on getting the project and report done...i was just needing a sign that it was time to really get back to work on it all...

well, that sign has come. one of the families closest to our hearts (Thomas, Kristina and Keyan) has started their own journey in purging plastics from their home. they have sent me new links to explore for our research and shared tales of their experience so far...and completely re-sparked my passion again...

another friend (Susan) has provided new inspiration on my writing and activism goals by helping me see some things through a new lens...

and other friends (Monica, Virgina, Bev, Celia, Brenda, Mary, Allan...and of course my soul mate & best friend Mark) have recently been most excellent sounding boards and ego-boosters to help me overcome some of those insecurities holding me back...

i love my friends! :)

so...my agent for positive change hat is back on...fully...and i'll update soon with latest findings on our own personal quest on the plastic front...
