It’s easy to dare me. Ever since I can remember I accepted challenge with open arms and plunged into the deep end without looking. But..I also know when to admit defeat and tell the truth if something is just out of my league. Dale (who is starting to show up here on a regular basis) pushed my button by asking his readers to follow his example and to start pod casting. As much as I hate to admit it, even podcasting for dummies is one pod too deep for me.
I did however manage to record the first episode of self reflections and saved it as MP3
Enjoy

Party!
Come on in,take a seat and have a piece of cake. No,no, don't count the candles. There are to many.
Blog Action Day!
In the seventies I became aware of the perils that threatened our environment . At that time acid rain and ozone depletion was being brought to our attention on a regular basis. I didn’t become active until I settled down and started a family in the mid eighties. Becoming a mom made me want to secure a future for my children and a clean and healthy environment was a priority. I did (and still do) whatever I could to safe energy and to stop wasting water and gas. We got rid of our second car, installed double glazing and made sure our children learned from an early age not to waste water and turn of lights and appliances as soon as they left a room. Even today I still rather take my bike then a bus (even though in Arnhem we have environmental friendly, electric busses) and we use the car only if there is no other option.
I feel that we are heading for disaster and that Im still not doing all that I can. If you see and hear about the melting of the poles, experience the strange weather conditions we seem to have, seasons no longer the way they used to be. It would help if the world leaders, especially the US and China would start giving the environment priority over economic issues.
I would applaud and be active in a new and better organized environmental movement to make our leaders listen, because it might already be too late.

Indifference
She and I never got along. She could push all the wrong buttons like no other, made me want to quit my job on several occasions. Still, you would think that I would at least feel a little sorry for what happened to her , I would for any other human being.
The small circle of people who really know me would agree if I told you that I am a friendly, pretty open, in your face kinda person. I am distraught when tragedy strikes, where ever, when ever. I cry when my children are sad, I grief when loved ones pass away, I get angry when provoked and I love to laugh. Why then is it impossible for me to feel anything but indifference when told that this co-worker was very seriously hurt in an accident?
Am I really this heartless ?

Action day
October 15, just one day before my birthday a special event is going to take place in blogworld. On that day bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.
I’m game, are you?
Watch the promo video and be inspired.
