Friends...... Now that it is day 2 as a "blogger" I am now a "veteran" of this 21st century technology in the computer age. I have a need that I would like to get out to you all.
I am seeking to replace my "beloved Emma" mini-van in the next month for my adventure. This is what I am looking for..... in a perfect world: a mini-skoolie (school bus) powered by veggie oil and the exterior painted by children and artists who want to project the kind of world they want to live in (mural scene with words) and the bean bag chairs and space for my fair trade wares and tent inside.....in a less than perfect world: a mini-skoolie in reliable shape for less than $2,000 and in a world where I am grateful for having just what I need: a well-loved & taken care of cargo van that has plenty of room for me, my camping gear and fair trade stuff & tent that is less than $2,500.
I am very excited about the opportunities that will come my way to share fair trade and other impt. info to help people find solutions now for the challenges they may be facing today. I just found out that my coffee people from Sweetwater Organic Coffee Roasters (in Gainesville), Nora & Chris (he rocks as the BEST coffee roaster I know anywhere) are going to be in Long Beach, CA next week for the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Assoc. of America) annual convention and I will be in San Diego for a doctor's appt. for a few days during the convention time. I am going to drive up to Long Beach on Fri and Sat to see Nora & Chris and learn more about the WONDERFUL WORLD OF COFFEE (my favorite legal drug...heee heee). Hopefully all of you have caught "Black Gold" the phenominal documentary on PBS about coffee...the worlds second most traded commodity in the world... and the dire conditions coffee farmers live when they have to sell their beans at slave wages to the likes of Starbucks, Nestle, and Proctor & Gamble!!! When you buy fair trade cofee you say YES to quality coffee and economic/social justice and NO to yucky coffee and to corporate domination! : ) Your money is your voice and your vote...EVERY DAY...spend it wisely and in positive ways.
HAVE A BLISSFUL DAY!!!
Mindy
