Heather Katsoulis - Google ProfileSo, this week has really been full of insight from a number or resources.
I first watched What Would Jesus Buy, a serious docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas.
Then, I read The City that Ended Hunger, an article about a city in Brazil recruited local farmers to help do something U.S. cities have yet to do: end hunger.

‘“I knew we had so much hunger in the world,” Adriana said. “But what is so upsetting, what I didn’t know when I started this, is it’s so easy. It’s so easy to end it.”
Adriana’s words have stayed with me. They will forever. They hold perhaps Belo’s greatest lesson: that it is easy to end hunger if we are willing to break free of limiting frames and to see with new eyes—if we trust our hard-wired fellow feeling and act, no longer as mere voters or protesters, for or against government, but as problem-solving partners with government accountable to us.’
And today, I came across this video,
I am so into the slow food movement, new organic Victory Gardens, and just plain old slowing down in this culture.
Now, how can I make this my life’s work?
