Happy 82nd, Ann-Margret.

My 13 year old cousin came back from a date with her boyfriend and said, "I can't wait to grow up and spend sunday afternoons with him." At first, I wanted to laugh (after all they're just 13), but I remember being 13 and having the world in my hands. I remember getting excited to talk to someone about my dreams and wishes, and how happy these daydreams and fantasies made me. There's this innocence you can only have at 13 and the world rises and falls and crashes and burns every year... until you do not think about quiet sunday afternoons.

So I asked her about the date and heard her giggle about bubblegum flavored ice cream, and how much she loves this little life. I think she makes me love it too.

The successes of green-washed products reveal two things:

Consumers are genuinely interested in doing the right thing.

Corporations are not.

Leave space for your emotions. If you feel something, validate it. Do not repress it, do not criticize it, do not judge it. Emotions are not meant to be logical, they are not meant to make sense. They are just meant to be.
