Thank you all for your great support! As you might already know thru Twitter, we are one of three finalists in the "green parent" category of The Green Awards! The grand prize winner will be announced at a ceremony on May 13th, in LA... and I am bringing Max along (I just need to find/borrow a suit his size). We will keep you posted on developments.
Thank you also for your input thru the comments, forum, and Twitter. You have formed an incredible community.
Finally, thanks to Ruth Wrenn for the beautiful poem that you posted in the forum section of this blog. Your words are right on, I could not have said it better. Here it is for everyone to enjoy.
Suburbia Revised
Finally free
from the grasping gasping needingness
of the constant wanting nothingness
of the endless hunting shoppingness
of suburban modern emptiness
My time
is finally mine to give away
Never more to waste away
on the the endless quest for more to pay
to bring home more to throw away
Wanting less and
Needing less and
Finally having more.
