Our dear dynamo, Rosa, was in town (Chicago) a few weeks ago to accept a 2008 Henry Bergh Children's Book Award from the ASPCA. Rosa preceded me as the Earthways Project Director for the AFOPADI reforesting project In Guatemala. Her book The Last Wild Place won the Young Adult's Award. What Rosa inspires in me is to meet life with great joy & determination. And to speak truth to power. Also, she really practices what she preaches and lives a sustainable life. But mainly she is loving, fun and game to try most experiences: can't beat that!
Above you can see her in one of our client's gardens in Evanston...one with some spiritual elements I promised to detail, but am, of course, behind on.
