Spring is the season for change. We move our clocks forward an hour, and gain extra sunlight, warmth and new possibilities. Why not use that extra hour to make a difference and volunteer?

My environmental non-profit is installing new carpet, and for the past month we’ve been prepping for a “non-move.” We have been packing everything up in boxes and crates and moving bookcases and filing cabines from office to office to clear up space for the carpet installation. Though we aren’t going through a physical move and … Continue reading

The type of day where my SmarTrip card didn’t work, the metro fare machines decided to only accept cash (and nothing smaller than a $20…) and the last train going in my direction slammed the doors shut in my face – with my purse … Continue reading
