Moms Against Climate Change

For all my friends who are moms, godmothers, grandmothers, guardians, etc., please take a look at the website Moms Against Climate Change. I would prefer that it be called Moms Speaking Out About Climate Change... but, regardless of what it's labeled, the cause is a sound one. I stumbled across this old link from another link from another website, etc., and although the website creators were trying to impact the summit on climate change in December 2009, the website is still a great example of ordinary people doing all they can to change the world -- for the future generations. What might WE do to spread the world about climate change and fulfill our responsibility as stewards of God's creation?

Happy Family

Family gatherings are always filled with good talk, good laughter, and good food. We over-indulged in all three kinds of deliciousness and were well-nourished from beginning to the end. Indian curry, quail, clams, Thai hotpot, cakes, and much, much more. Blessings in abundance.



By the way, la busche de Noel was baked and decorated by my mum. Naturally, I enjoyed more than one slice.

Snow and Sand Tiramisu

There are first times for everything, and last week, for the first time, I saw sand and snow frozen together in a beautiful, rugged swirl not unlike tiramisu. So beautiful.

Snow

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know our planet is slowly dying. In certain places, the earth is rotting, crumbling, drying out, eroding at rates faster and more deadly than we can anticipate. Yet, there remain many spaces where we can still witness the beauty of God's creation. This winter, I visited one of those places. Nowhere spectacular, just some little frozen lake, surrounded by trees stripped bare and park benches with inviting seats. Come see for yourself...
