U is for Ultimate Life

U is for Ultimate Life (can it be this simple?)

This is one I ponder and play around with daily. Am I living my ultimate life? Or at least taking great magical strides to get there? I think so. Maybe some things don't move as fast as I'd like them to, or perhaps I'm guilty of having too...

While the Mainland Sleeps

Michelle McAlister — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:26:12 -0500

I wouldn’t exactly call myself selfless, or ‘eco-friendly’ for that matter. Apart from recycling my old salsa jars and scrunched diet-coke cans, I really can’t be bothered with ‘eco-mandates’ or what ‘trading on carbon offsets’ is supposed to mean. It all sounds like white noise to me....
