Since I tend to work well into the evening, I'm generally not an early riser.
But there are things worth getting up for — and Tuesday morning was one of them.

This Saturday, Feb. 20th, 2010 from 11am-4pm the Green Jobs, Green Economy Initiative, PACE YouthBuild, Old Bedford Village and the ESHU Collective, will host the first in a series of Weatherization Barn-raisings.  Join the New Bedford community and lend a hand and learn a new skill.  Lunch will be provided.  RSVP to Kalia: klydgate@marioninstitute.org, 508.951.4026.
 

These seminars are designed for health care practitioners and medical students who are interested in learning more about Biological Medicine or have been following the PBMN seminar series. Both seminars will take place at Rachel’s Lakeside, 950 State Road, Dartmouth, MA.
 

Why angry?
 

A few people have contacted us to say while they love our mission of better school food, they don't love our movie title, Two Angry Moms. It seems that some folks are put off by the word "angry".

Here's a short explanation as to why our calling ourselves "angry moms".

Anger is a misunderstood emotion in our culture.

Especially when it comes to women, we are told from childhood that "nice girls don't get angry" and that conditioning persists into adulthood.

General Overview

Dear Friend,

As some of you know, a few of my Board of Directors and great friends of the Marion Institute and myself were planning to go to Haiti on Saturday (four days after the dreadful earthquake) with a delegation by the amazing nonprofit called Fonkoze. What a mind bender when I was heading to a meeting on Tuesday night and heard of the enormous catastrophe! The hotel we were supposed to stay at entirely collapsed and the devastation that we felt in our hearts for the Haitians was and still is immeasurable.
