		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so it&#8217;s been a pretty long time since I&#8217;ve sit down to write to this blog. Life keeps happening, and that&#8217;s a good thing, but sometimes it happens so quickly and with such intensity that it&#8217;s hard to find the time to pause for reflection&#8211;even though it is so very important. Historically, this time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talking recently with my friend Michelle, the topic of corporate/consumer responsibility and social justice came up, and before long we turned to Walmart as a case in point. (I know, right?) Michelle&#8217;s question/statement to me went something like this: Many do not necessarily have a need to shop at a place with such low prices [...]]]></description>

Others take an afternoon to consider where things go when you flush them down the toilet, where our drinking water comes from, and how these water systems work together. This past week, our Earth Scouts group looked at water in a different kind of [...]]]></description>

Even so, I can respect cuisine of all varieties (even if I don&#8217;t eat it)&#8211;of the carnivorous persuasion and otherwise. It&#8217;s shocking, however, to consider the variety of disgusting processed byproducts our fast-food nation passes off as food&#8211;especially to our children. Jamie Oliver demonstrates this [...]]]></description>

I raise questions; that&#8217;s what I do.

I really don&#8217;t understand why people associate colors, or anything else for that matter, so completely with one gender or the other. Why can&#8217;t a boy get a purple folder?
