Parade day

-
Today is the big day my first official parade. Just for word through Kirsten that Isla Bonita school will be at the parade - very exciting.

Sending a big shout out to the folks at Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services
Sue M sent me 5 lesson plan pdf files and a document of websites with some good information and downloadable materials for me to check out. I will be making these available in some form to all schools who would like a copy preferably via email or by flash drive directly to school computers. I am very grateful for any and all help - so much to learn in this area.

Was chatting belizegail and purdygrl in mini chat this morning.

belizegail mentioned she was getting ready to go up to Hope Creek with some donated supplies and that the the greatest need is for kids stuff right now. Items such as kids clothing, baby formula, hygiene stuff, baby diapers. You can drop donations off at the Lion's Den in town today - items are being delivered tomorrow.

Isla Bonita and Holy Cross kids marched through town with artistic hand made signs. Both schools were enthusiastic and made lot's noise to let people know they are serious about reusing recycling and keeping Ambergris Caye clean.

Great work Laurie *insert clapping emoticon here* I have posted a link to this post and to your blog on playa.info for a teacher in Massachusetts who is doing a project with her students about recycling efforts all over the world!! Looks like a wonderful (and mercifully dry) day.

Ha ah ha! I have to admit, was thinking both those things. First that Paul got a SHORT hair cut and that it makes him look super young!

Great deal on the recyling! I love it!

Help Save Bacalar Chico

-
According to 7News Belize, the Government of Belize is planning to 'De-Reserve' at least 3,000 acres of the Bacalar Chico Marine & Wildlife Reserve in Northern Ambergris Caye, and sell the land to developers. According to reports, the deal is all but done. Residents of Ambergris Caye are being urged to come together and protest this issue. It is also very important for non residents of Belize to support this issue. Many of you have fallen in love with Ambergris Caye and keep coming back for more. Please help us make it known how we feel about the preservation of Marine and Wildlife Reserve area of Bacalar Chico. If you are not in Belize and want to take a stand against the sale and de-reserve of Bacalar Chico land please leave a comment with your first and last name and where you are from and I will put together a master list. This is important issue and we welcome your support. Bacalar Chico comprises a 15,000-acre marine reserve and 12,000 acres of terrestrial reserve

The 4 - Hour work week Escape 9 - 5 Live Anywhere And Join The New Rich Timothy Ferris A short while ago, Alan told me this is one book I should be reading so I followed his advice and found a copy on eBay - tacoboy even called next in line to read it. I have not read chapter 1 yet and can already say I am sure many of you would be inspired by this book - good for airplane reading - you might even even find a copy for sale while waiting for your flight. Yesterday I got my green highlighter out and started reading the introduction, highlighting the good bits as I went a long - below are some parts that stood out for me - I feel like this book will definitly add a few more pieces to the puzzle. From using Jedi Mind tricks to disappear from the office to designing businesses that finance your lifestyle, there are paths for every comfort level. Live Life Large - instead of postponing it. The objective is to create freedom of time and place and use both however you want. I'm excited. I
