In my readings and meanderings, I have come across some quotes and pictures and I feel they should be shared together, though they aren't necessarily related.

I am not, for example, first of all a being without hope who may or may not later be converted to hope. On the contrary, I am first a being of hope who, for any number of reasons, may thereafter lose hope. -Paulo Freire Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethnics, Democracy, and Civic Courage.



This is Tech Terrace park in the snow we had last Thursday.


My mom took me out for lunch to Home Cafe. Delicious! And Fair Trade Coffee. My Mom also thanked the waitress there for offering Fair Trade Coffee, though we didn't order any.


On Friday, Glen and I took Matti and Cally for a walk around Higgin Botthom Park. There were SO MANY GEESE.
It was inspiring.


When we were walking them, a man in his truck pulled off to the side of the road and asked if we knew of any male corgis that weren't neutered--he was looking to breed.
We politely said no.

Then we all ran for a bit. Matti was actually pulling me.
