 so last night I was watching MSNBC as I usually do, and on came commercials as they usually do.. but this was the first time I'd seen this particular commercial, and being rather hormonal just now, it brought me to tears. It showed a series of Mama Birds defending their young babies, and then a small duckling caught in an oil spill, (simulated for filming, it said so) and a pair of kind human hands bathing the baby in Dawn dishwashing liquid, ultimately all cleaned up & reunited w/ her mom. The tagline was "Do more than dishes". A wonderful sentiement, and brilliant marketing.
 got me to thinking...I want to do more than make soap.. so a portion of sales from now on will go to support  the Springfield VT Humane Society Inc, former home of Holly & Rico, and a truly pleasant place to be if you're a homeless critter. We all know that animals almost always end up with the short end of the stick, and we also know it is almost always through no fault of their own. These economic landslides we have been experiencing over the past several years have really hammered groups that depend on donations to operate.
 If you don't want to purchase some soap, that's cool.. but do consider donating to your local food bank, your local animal shelter, your local church.. this is a time when we all have to help each other as best we can.
