• Children? Homeless? That’s Like So Under My Radar

  This past spring I was biking to work, and saw something that I had never quite seen, but in the back of my mind, I knew it was happening, but I was living in my bubble, enjoying life…. A couple, homeless, folding up their stuff and rising off the ground, as my bike continued to move […]

• We Have To See it, To Believe It, Don’t We? Thoughts on Climate Change

  This isn’t a post about how you need to care about global warming and climate change, it’s about WHY you’re not caring about it… and maybe we (Yes, you America) should talk more about it… Climate change is one of those debates that is based on facts.
