It’s all over the web, so I am sure you know about it already…. I mentioned it earlier this week….

But, I am just going to mention it one more time….
just a leeeeeeeeeeeeetle reminder, so you can get yourself organized for it:
Earth Hour, on one level, is a statement about stopping for one hour to pay attention to how much power and energy we consume EVERY hour.
So… it’s: Turn off all the electrical stuff and have some quiet time.
BUT…. on a deeper level, it is about the power of community, of people forming a sense of resolve to address the issues of creating a habitable, hopeful place to live and thrive.
So, this evening… yes, turn off the lights and all the stuff we have plugged in, and plug into another kind of power….
the power of connection and community…..
Our family has a dinner in the dark planned, and then some seriously silly ‘family rules’ Scrabble in the dark….
Hope you have fun in the dark this evening! Hope it helps to lighten us all up!
