Gotta go to the lake more often then! ---Congrats again, Lisa! And your first donation? You're ahead of Shaping Youth, then! Kidding. (well, sorta...er...I still haven't put my PayPal button up yet, eesh!) Anyway...frame it, post it, and look at it whenever you need a boost of 'attagirl!' (btw, Eco Child's Play is looking for more writers too, if you're interested?) The idea hamster here has been spinning on her wheel, in the Rockies while away off the grid (have you ever made s'mores on solar panels?) Naturally, I'm thinking that since you're now a 501c3 too, we should put energy on balancing a larger/collaborative entity (blog network style) that unites like-minded souls teaming collectively for media clout when it makes sense to do so...(the .com, .org, .net mind melding) For example, I'm about to cover the "America the Beautiful" documentary and interview the director when it premieres next week in S.F., and this SCREAMS for blog ring support from us all to promote 'en masse' to pay it forward, since it addresses everything from body image to consumerism, vapid values, and soul erosion to boot. More thoughts on this soon...can't wait to see it and report back. Nancy sent her fan mail so that's a good sign. Gonna go wade through my own slush pile. ---Back soon, Amy Woohoo!
