"LOVED INTO SOMETHING MORE THAN...UGLINESS"

“The natural world has such a secret power for me, it is such a source of strength and affirmation… But then there are human beings, too, and they, too, are beautiful and treacherous and full of such mystery. God knows we need someone to tell us the human is beautiful these days, and we need to hear over and over again that even in our ugliness we must be loved into something more than ourselves and more than ugliness.”

— From The Selected Letters of William Goyen

A CIRCLE GARDEN--PLANNING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER!

Yes, I'm continuing to gather ideas for next spring's gardening, including this wonderful article about circle garden designs from Tenth Acre Farm <https://www.tenthacrefarm.com/2016/05/circle-garden-design/>.

WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?

When you use the tactics of those you condemn--such as bullying, name-calling and personal attacks--what have you become?

Many people now access music, movies, books when they want them. Others do this with cars, apartments...what's next?

HEAVEN ON EARTH IN THE LAW

Pink Larkin, a law firm in Halifax, Canada, has done something no other law firm has done and it's helping to transform the law. They hired a former senior lawyer to take on cases which can be used as test cases to change laws or policy.

FOR WOMEN WHO WANT TO BUILD WEALTH AND BANISH FEAR

"Many times, young women are raised to be dependent upon men, rarely armed with the extensive knowledge they need to not only earn money, but also be self-sufficient and save it. We are told that we will always be supported and prince charming will always provide for all of our financial needs. I don’t believe in this fairy tale. Women are just as capable as men of taking care of themselves and their finances. The truth is that as women, we are independent and able to support ourselves. In fact, it is our duty to be responsible for ourselves both personally and professionally."

BELIEFS MAKE YOU

"First you make your beliefs. Then your beliefs make you. And when you go out in the world, the world will support your beliefs"
