reclaiming the spirit of the season



and

imagine cyber monday being used to support cottage industry - 

i smell change in the air!

i hope that by following this list & supporting cottage industry we can slowly change the face of what giving means... 

with our kids, modeling is surely everything - it takes time to reshape the idea of giving and receiving... to see the people behind the gift...

i work in shop that carries fair trade and locally made items - only ... and what i remind people of is a truism told to me by my grandmother - it's your dollar, you choose what to do with it - and when you shop this way you make a choice to support a small village, a cooperative, a non-profit.... it's all about the people -

but, wait - isn't that what it's all about anyway?

your dollar has power 

living intentionally has power -

think of what a difference you can make when you combine them -
