About Me:
What can I say about myself....I'm not the best self promoter, but I'm a relationship builder and a connector, and a listener. I believe that everybody is capable of making change for the better, in their lifestyles, their approach to others, and their approach to this world we all live in together.
All that is needed is a bit of awareness. Awareness of your impact on the world around you, and the positive effect you can have on people. We all can do it and we'll feel better for it.

I don't take plastic bags from the grocery store
I use cloth diapers
Missing my baby boy as I'm away from home for the first night since he was born. But I know he's still there in cloth diapers!!
Grateful to all the great friends we have who have helped us out, and sent us great letters and gifts for our beautiful new boy!
We're continuing the cloth diaper process, in fact we've taken it a step further and bought our own set of diapers to work with
Yep, we bought more diapers ourselves, and are in the process of winding down our relationship with the diaper delivery service.
That may be a bit contentious though. Now we'll be washing our diapers ourselves which may be more wasteful of water, but we're doing our best to minimize that, and we're saving a delivery truck from coming here once a week for the next year or more, so it felt like the thing to do.

Didn't take any bag at all today when I bought the "Rockabye Baby Nirvana" CD. Silly that they even offer in my opinion.

Assigned to End the Insanity — No more plastic cups and bottles
A few more days and a lot more diapers saved. I'm actually starting to not mind these cloth diapers too, before they seemed too bulky.
Thanks to my beautiful wife for bringing me such a beautiful boy in Gaelen. What she went through was amazing, I couldn't do it ever.
Just invited a couple friends to the Bongo benefit concert, since I'm not in the area, something I could do to help out
Just a simple "congratulations" was all that an alone young new mother seemed to need
We recently were in the hospital, having our first (and best) baby boy Gaelen. We were in a double room but until the last day we were there it was just us and the bed next to us was empty.
On our last day they brought in a new mother fresh out of the labour and delivery room. I dont' know how young she was, but she sure looked it. I can only imagine how overwhelming that would be. The baby's father was there too, but only stayed for a few minutes, and then she was alone with her new baby.
A quick "congratulations" seemed to cheer her up a bit, which felt nice, and hopefully helped her feel a bit better.
