more of  MY FAVORITE THINGS

 


You can't see that the author, on mike here, is sporting red high-tops. She's been going undercover in good ol' Perswayssick County as she writes the first sequel to The Getaway That Got Away. Nobody there gives you a second glance when you wear those.

 

 

 

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can

be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

─Mahatma Gandhi

 

“Only when the last tree has died, the last river

been poisoned and the last fish been caught,

will we realize that we cannot eat money.

─Cree Indian Proverb

 

 

 

All kidding aside here on Gneeecey.com, I’d like to share a few of my favorite links. A dream of mine, and of my sister Sandi, is to establish a foundation named for our late father, Salvador F. Solá, M.D. He was a truly remarkable individual who instilled in his children a deep respect for all life.

The Salvador F. Solá, M.D. Foundation will issue grants to organizations that address concerns close to our hearts—the humane treatment of all animals and the protection of our environment. If we trash our planet out of existence, we won’t have too many other problems, will we? Recently, as I watched a robin strut across the sidewalk, I thought to myself, hey, this world belongs to that bird just as much as it does to us.
