To be "Extraordinary"

I went to the Earth Day Conference yesterday...and in the session "Inspiring Change with Stories and New Media" saw the story of our family. One of the students who created the digital story about us was on the panel. The humbling part of all this was when the teacher talked about us as "one extra-ordinary family" which I don't think of us as all..but I probably grew two inches taller hearing someone else title us that. Leah ( the student) added.." when we left their house..we felt like we had to do something too. It ( telling our story) definitely made an impact on my life." Here is the story Leah and another student created. Greener, Faster, Better, Stronger This was the first digital story they have ever created. They did this as part of a class.

Julie and clan: you are absolutely an extraordinary family...and I have always been so proud of everything you do...and the impact that you are making on the environment around you, and the people that you care about.
