This Blog allows me to update faster from iPad, iPhone or laptop. We are using Blogger . I decided not to use Wordpress because it took a college course to figure it out. I'm still leaving all local news in here, not to worry.
    I will revamp the older dot org to meet the growing needs of my photography and that of friends. It will also contain my online book on living in the wilderness, my genealogy and Pinpoint, my alternative earthquake news since 1992 as well.

Path to Stewardship
It can be overwhelming to take the first step on the path of true stewardship, but with some simple changes we can begin to live a life focused on spiritual abundance rather than material wealth:

◗ Look at your shopping habits, your pantry, your clothes closet and begin to notice where you buy beyond what you need. Can you donate things to a thrift store, church or nonprofit group? Can you change your grocery shopping habits so you don’t end up throwing away wilted lettuce or moldy bread?

◗ Turn off the faucet when you brush your teeth. Use grasses and plants native to your area so you won’t need to water so often. Catch rainwater and use it in your garden.

◗ Take any money you save by cutting back and find a charity that could use it to serve the poor, whether at home or abroad.

◗ If you don’t have a lot of financial resources or material goods to donate, look in other places. Maybe you have skills that could benefit a local charity or parish. Can you write press releases, raise funds or organize mailings?

◗ Maybe your gifts and talents fall into the spiritual category: Have a cup of coffee with a neighbor going through a hard time; fast once a week on behalf of world peace; visit the sick or sign up to assist the caregivers of an Alzheimer’s patient.
