Coal River Wind Petition

I'll reflect more later, but wanted to share this link with y'all:

Know that my heart is well today.  It is snowing sideways and I'm giddy with excitement about an Energy and Empowerment project this Spring semester.  The Health in Appalachia class is working with Kentucky Environmental Foundation to create a Community-Based Research project to learn more about regional health providers' knowledge, perspectives, and assumptions about the effects of coal-fired power plants.  I'm just tickled to see this project moving forward.  I can't wait to drop in on the class when my work schedule allows and learn more about this important issue. 

Also, my amaryllis opened on Sunday.  It is so beautiful.  I am grateful for that. 

Moreover, when I get the chance there are a few poems I might share... one about peanut butter sandwiches and irony. 

Love to y'all.
