I have been thinking a lot about faith lately. Not faith as in religion, but more faith as a concept. As much as I sometimes feel unsure, there are times, almost always when I am in nature, when I feel a confidence, a faith, a kind of security and certainty that every thing is all right.

When I see images of our Earth from space, I am reminded how much of a unit our planet is. There are no borders or separations – just a perfect circle.

Life is beautiful and hope this coming year we will each and all have the opportunity to spend time in nature and achieve our dreams.

I think giving back is important. I am extremely grateful for all I have. Here are a few of my favorite charites:

Reading To Kids
Read and have fun with children

ChildReach.org
Sponsor a child in need

Greenpeace
Making a difference

Lately whenever I have been feeling like things are getting to me, I use the words I heard from Mickey Mouse just before he defeats the dragon at Disney’s show Fantasia.

Hold on just a minute……’This is my Dream!’

Awesome show!!!

Earth Hour is an annual international event held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

So I will be turning off my lights!

Earth Hour will next take place on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, local time.

I was thinking the other day about reading and how important it has been for me in my life, the lives of others and for humans in general.
I know as a little girl I would devour books, staying up all night to get to the end of a really great one.

Now as an adult I still have that appetite, especially when I find a certain book that I can’t put down. With all of our societies technological advancements, I still find books to be holding fast one of my primary sources of entertainment.

Although these days the web has had an added impact in the way I search for and review books.

Of course there is the ubiquitous and brilliantAmazon, who took the term online bookstore and created a whole other meaning.

There are also many other sites devoted to helping us bookies out.

One site I recommend is goodreads.com they have a great site. It’s a nice way to see what your friends are reading and what they thought of a particular book.

I found this series of photographs/commentary very interesting.

Since last years frozen yogurt obssesion, I had been quite guilt-free with no visible food addictions (excluding chocolate) …. until I discovered Babycakes in NYC . Their gluten and sugar -free cupcakes are amazing.

If you ask me nicely I might even bring you one back next time I go there!

Lucky New Yorkers and visitors can find them here…

I found this article recently which shows some of the world’s most unique hotels which I though are pretty cool!
