About me
I'm Chris. My wife and I live on a ranch in central Texas that my family has lived on for 5 generations. I'm a graphic and web designer, writer, and my wife and I clean houses.

We have ignored these problems for a long time and have placed blame in places it did not belong.
We are arriving at a point where all consequences for our past follies are going to have to be answered to. The Earth is evolving, and if we wish to evolve with her we must change our values.
