There is something so profound in ka...Hello Diljit! <BR/>There is something so profound in karma. You don't really believe in these things until moments like this: I thought of you this morning, and Strada Verde, and wondered how the new business was going in McKinney....<BR/><BR/>I was day dreaming of the shop I hope to open one day, and how it still feels like a monumental puzzle:<BR/>Can we afford it?<BR/>How much would we need to get started?<BR/>How do I find a location to open up shop?<BR/>Is my niche strong enough?<BR/>Do I have enough to sustain the business?<BR/>How the heck do I get started?<BR/><BR/>All of these questions and a gazillion more - inhibit me from ever putting pencil to paper. But today I came across a website about a store in Brooklyn very much like I had wanted to open. <BR/><BR/>And like the weather, grew gloomily thinking about it. Then I remembered your shop and how proud I was of your initiative to bring something so dreamy to reality. And then I felt hope again...<BR/><BR/>AND THEN I got this comment from YOU today on my blog! <BR/><BR/>Karma... oh yes, is a beautiful thing.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should take this as a window of opportunity [that I would have ordinarily dismissed]... and ask... that if you have a moment or two, would you mind taking me under your wing and sharing your motivation for starting a business, what to do first... and what do you think of my idea... if you are interested, please email me!The Art of Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111418013726721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-84850595362127427932008-10-14T12:07:00.000-05:002008-10-14T12:07:00.000-05:00Hello,Just came across your blog.It's wonderful!I ...Hello,<BR/>Just came across your blog.<BR/>It's wonderful!<BR/>I am one of the owners of STRADA VERDE..green eco store in McKinney.<BR/>The tour I gave you I give to all customers.

I hope you find it - you will love the colorful illustrations. And Cameron will love the story of her being friends with nature around her. Ava read it again today - by herself. And when she came to the page with the overturned fish, she said out loud while I was in the other room, "Mom - fish is upset."<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, it was "sad" - now "upset"? I guess she really got it when I explained the consequences of throwing garbage in the water. I'd be "upset" too.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of water and our fish, there's a National Geographic special on PBS [ch. 13] tonight at 8pm called Strange Days on Planet Earth: Dangerous Catch; Dirty Secrets. Sounds mysterious doesn't it? The caption says it's about the consequences of overfishing - hmmm... I didn't think that was possible. Edward Norton narrates! Let me know if you catch this on tonight! xoxoThe Art of Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111418013726721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-48227870919543936632008-04-23T12:11:00.000-05:002008-04-23T12:11:00.000-05:00Yesterday was fun... and you brought up some good ...Yesterday was fun... and you brought up some good points. When i was at the counter in the Library, the employee commented on all the 'Earth' books we were getting. She asked if we were celebrating and I explained that we were getting an early start with the kids. When she asked how old they were and I responded with 11 months and 2 years, she said she was impressed. (Good idea Zarlacht!) Apparently, nobody else that day had taken the initiative to do the same thing... at least at that library branch. <BR/><BR/>It’s just too bad that we wait for a day like this to come along before we celebrate it. <BR/><BR/>As far as the weed killer goes.... I might still have to sneak out and get some late at night after you doze off. Our driveway is almost as green as our lawn!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230074106249783617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-11877379109173886142008-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:002008-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:00I love this blog entry! I actually thought of you ...I love this blog entry! I actually thought of you last night as Dave and I watched "The 11th Hour" in celebrating awareness and honoring Earth Week (which I'm so glad it's now a whole week instead of one day, and I'm with you, it should be EVERYDAY). It's a very powerful movie with incredible insight from environmentalists, world leaders, scientists, etc. So I thought of you guys and I'm so proud in the fact that you and Aaron are raising your children to respect the earth and to be in harmony with nature! It just brings tears to my eyes, tears of joy to know that Ava and Noah are amoung the generation that will directly see these changes in the way we do things as humans and they will have the power to make changes for the better in the world!<BR/><BR/>And you gave me a wonderful gift idea for Cameron, her birthday is today, party on Sat. I'm going to go out and get "The Earth and I". So thank you for being an inspiration!<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/>-CorbinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
