Oil Slick Woes
I’ve held back on speaking of the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf. My heart is incredibly heavy, thinking about the dire damage to Mother Earth and the delicate ecosystem in our oceans, which WILL eventually filter up through our food and water chain.

Skin cancer is a very real phenomenon, one which I dare not risk, especially having very…
