Sometimes we get what we wish for.

We all want things whether it's physical, emotional or spiritual. Have you ever wanted something so bad you were willing to give up other things for it. But then when you got it, you were disappointed or consequences came with it. I know I have.
I am afraid of some of the consequences America might have to pay for the choose we have made. We want change, better economy, low gas prices, better environment, better schools for our kids. But do we make good decisions or do we want someone else to fix the problems. Do we complain about companies taking their businesses over seas, but do we support local business. Do you know over 40% of local business tax stay local and only approximate 20% of big box companies do? Do we want a more resourceful government and better environment but we don't even give a thought about all the waste we create. Do we get involved in the schools or just like to complain about them. Try volunteering in a classroom. You might learn a thing or two.
Sometimes I get on a soapbox and sometimes I fall off.

Buy local first!! You might find some great things and also meet some great people.
