Dreamin en Vert
I dreamt last night that I had disposable income and a wealth of financial support from family. My business of consulting with individuals who aspire to better their health had always been self-supported. Most of my work time elapsed while writing, traveling and exploring ‘the good life” on a budget. In my dream-home-based business of writing, traveling and small-biz promotions, my capacity to help sustainable business practices was growing in measures I’d not imagined in years.

It was the perfect New Houston moment: A Pavarotti-like voice pulsed over the green lawns and the sparkling lake of Discovery Green.

We all know that art is green--well, most art and mostly art cars. Many things that would have ended up on landfills adorn cars. We also know that no organization knows art cars quite like the Orange Show. If you don't, I must ask: where is that cave you live in here in Houston?
If you're feeling like a double dose of green, here's your chance: Volunteer with the Orange Show and help make mini art cars at the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown.
Here's the info:
