Our Fodder's One Year Anniversary!!!!!!

One year ago today I posted the initial post here on Our Fodder. Check it out, as well as the year of posts, and please let me know if there are any content requests. Thanks for the devotion, the comments, the fodder.

My Random Human Ecologist Friend

My buddy Christie is dutifully keeping her New Year resolution, "Project 365." P365 is a commitment to post a photo everday for a year. Christie posts her photos on her blog, and there is an inordinate number* of photos devoted to her dog Luke. Which is absolutely good and well and mostly makes me super proud to have been featured as yesterday's photo post. Check me (and Chrstie's blog) out. And in true supportive-friend fashion, a tribute to Luke on my blog as well.

*"Inordinate number" refers to more than ten, including Luke's journal. Awwwwwwwwww.

This one goes out to all you winter storm victims ...

Search for Meaning Book Festival

I worked the Search for Meaning Book Festival on Saturday, Feb. 5th. It's a project I've been planning since I began my role as administrative assistant at STM back in July. All the work definitely paid off--every author showed up (even those snow-trapped in Boston, New York and Chicago!), Tariq Ramadan's profound words are still echoing in my ears, plus he's dead sexy, and Anne Lamott signed my program! Winning at life feels incredible!
