This is Cat. This is my blog.
I’m heavily involved in volunteer work most of the time. I try to devote my self to “good, green things” and express my “eco-spirit” as Chair of the Green Team at the First Unitarian Church of Orlando. I sometimes teach Sunday School and children’s garden classes. I’m co-editor and contributing author for the Central Florida Green Guide.
I spend so much time writing for other things that my “Living the 7th” blog ends up being a strange mishmosh of my interests in life and more relaxed scribblings. Cooking, cleaning, gardening, teaching, volunteering, writing, local events, peppered with pictures and musings of myself, my family, and my friends…
I’m a real person trying to lead a more green, more local, more authentic, more vegan (or at least vegetarian) and more satisfying life where I put my principles, especially the 7th UU principle, front and center.
I want to live it as best I can, not just talk it.
Welcome to “Living the 7th!”
UUA version: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are all a part.
Kid’s version: We believe in caring for our planet Earth, the home we share with all living things.

I read your piece on starting bean plants and would like to know if you have a good web site or book for gardening in Orlando as far as what to plant and when. I am from NC and I don’t know when to plant here! I would love to do both a fall and spring garden with my kids. THANKS!
I have been commenting and enjoying. I’m an infrequent newby to the UU church, but their core values match my own. I didn’t understand the reference in your title, but the Ancestor’s Feast was a clue. Your site has made me more inspired to follow through on my recent pledge to attend church more often and become involved once comfortable. Thank you.
Peace.
