Just wanted to share this info from the Sierra Club on celebrating a green Valentine's Day:

Star's latest blog entry prompts me to share this Jungian quote I saw in a Yoga Journal ad last night:

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become."

He doesn't say "I am what I choose to be"--like it's all here in this moment. Rather it's about becoming--unfolding--giving birth. Hence my ref to Star's blog today (thanx, Star!).
