Yes, we don’t have to take on the whole world at once. Just one step at a time makes a lifetime of journeying in (hopefully) the right direction. Thanks for the practical inspiration, Annie, to change our world by what we support with how we spend our minutes and our dollars.

It’s a beautiful mosaic, and we’re quick to forget what we don’t see in front of us. Thanks for this, Kristi. Learning here that I need to establish rhythms in my life so that I can be one who, as you say, sees.

I hear you, Lindsey… moving from ideals to action. Glad you are here, friend.

Oh Annie! How funny that we often go through the same things….I have been precisely thinking about these same things….how can I make steps towards supporting this…I, who wrote an impassioned paper in college….and now what can I do to advocate myself…? You are making me think and spurring me on, friend!

I loved this Annie. I love the visual of fair trade on a pedestal and then being wrestled with in ” the mess of life”. So often I have viewed it as you have, out of my reach, not within my ability, but here you have made such a beautiful point about jumping in there and just taking one step at a time. Tank you for this reminder I have been needing to stop thinking that buying fair trade is beyond me.

I loved your description of “all heart and theory.” This would describe me. I desire but apprently not enough to make it action. I encourage others but do not act in my home. I was just talking to a friend about chocolate and that I need to do some research on my dear Dove chocolate. I will take this entry and allow it to challenge me (and all those in my wake ).
