Sorry for the dry spell. I've been doing research for my novel, brainstorming about new ways to bring in an income, and doing a lot of work around the house and the garden. I only made it to March last year, and I definitely hit a wall last week. I’m jazzed about all the events coming up, though, so hopefully that will pull me out of my slump.
I just signed up for an event next week sponsored by a local MoveOn.Org group called Green Energy Jobs Day. It’s a tour of four businesses in Long Beach that have incorporated eco-friendly practices into their daily routines. The fun begins this Thursday, May 28, starting at Rossmoor Pastries at 8 am, which is a wee bit early for my metabolism, but with any luck there’ll be coffee and sweet, flaky morsels there to make it worth hauling myself out of bed that early.
After an hour and half where employees there will talk about what they are doing to help the environment, we’ll move on to three other businesses, Solar Source, Fern’s Garden, and Cisco Burgers. There’ll be opportunities to buy the businesses’ products—sweet rolls and fries, yum! And, with any luck, maybe there’ll actually be job offerings. In this economic draught, that would not only be green, it would be golden.
