Booooookkkkssss
Going along with book postings - here is a good book that I am reading right now:
I believe the movie based on this novel is out in theaters now. It's a great book about an Indian family in America, the challenges they face, their culture and understanding who you are and where you come from. I highly recommend it!

Some Good Books
Hey Guys,
I wanted to give you some recommendations for some good reading. I have lately been on a women's self-actualization and awakening kick, and I thought I would share some of the books that have inspired me as a woman. I relate to all of the protagonists in these novels, and they have taught me in humorous and endearing ways to BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART AND YOUR DREAMS. If you have some favorite female heroines to share, please send them my way. Thanks!

Interesting Group
Hey Folks,
I got this email today and thought that few of you might identify and would be interested. I'm going to hit up the next meeting since I'm downtown, but if I know that more people are interested, I could let them know.

You, and others you know, might be interested in this group. YEPOC stands for Young Environmentalist People of Color or something like that, composed of people of color who work at/for environmental organizations (governments or nonprofits). It was started by a friend of mine named Marcelo, whom I met in an environmental fellowship.
They meet monthly, discussing specific topics, as well as providing a venue to talk about/share info on the whole being-one-the-only/few-persons-of-color-in-the-environmental-group thing…

my little corner of the working world
much to my chagrin, as this past month flew by ever so quickly, there was not a single day where i did not find myself daydreaming of the pictures of greg's office.i wonder, did anybody else feel the same way?
drawing inspiration from his austere organization skills, but more likely from those cute little fuzzies on his wall calendar, and additionally more so out of guilt, i now want to share with you what i sit in front for part of my days.
please don't judge me by how much food takes up my "book shelf," i'm a growing boy.
enjoy.
