After three decades of living in the Arizona desert city of Phoenix, I moved to the green, lush Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am learning about permaculture and in the midst of turning a large lawn into an organic, sustainable food source. Of course, if my future crops are as poor as my last one, I'm in for a long haul! But, I'm learning... I'm not much of an activist anymore. Not that I was ever a REAL one, but I got burnt out and frustrated with trying to change the world. I haven't changed my goals or ideals, just my sense of scale. Now, I work to change MY world, doing what I can in small ways. One major goal is to wean myself away from the negativity, anger and judgmental attitudes that plagued me in the past. I can't even say I'm "on the journey" since I haven't really picked out a destination yet ... but I'm getting there.
