The sparkle bomb comes as the September issue of YES! Magazine, themed: A Resilient Community, plus these two videos I found through Shareable.net about collaborative consumerism.
Bingo! Talk about positive relevancy!
Such a joy!

What I feel glad about is having real options to choose from, invest in, experiment with, and express our creative essence through. Having options to choose from... how ecstatic! (Shopping is fun, neh?)

Pioneers of the New Normal
Meet the Radical Homemakers

In the Face of this Truth
10 Resilient Ideas

“Emerging at the other end, we will not be the same as we were; we will have become more humble, more connected to the natural world, fitter, leaner, more skilled and, ultimately, wiser.”
. Not bad, eh?
Go YES!
