Milwaukee, WI.
Conservationist Jane Goodall has passed away at age 91. As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, she urged: “You’re supposed to share the planet, and yet species are disappearing. Ecosystems are collapsing. That’s going to affect us.”
More recently, Pope Leo XIV implored: “We cannot love God, whom we cannot see, while despising his creatures. Nor can we call ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ without participating in his outlook on creation and his care for all that is fragile and wounded.”
Pope Leo and Goodall share deeply rooted values: reverence for life, Read More

Holy Cross Retreat Center in Mesilla Park, New Mexico is a “Franciscan oasis of prayer and personal growth.” I joined Episcopal clergy from throughout New Mexico and west Texas there this past week.

Española Valley
When we began growing Chimayo red chile on our farm, neither Rick nor I anticipated the dedication or devotion required nor the knee cartilage we would be sacrificing for this small, heritage crop. Once I had the seeds in my hot little hands, I was hooked. I visited my greenhouse daily and watched the seeds sprout into vibrant green shoots and celebrated each new leaf. I pinched off the early blooms to ensure all energy was being used to create strong and healthy plants. In May, after we transplanted, I prayed we would be spared Read More

When buying or selling a home or vacant land, it’s important to know whether an easement exists on the property. Easements can affect a property’s value and limit what a buyer can do with the land.

By BERNADETTE LAURITZEN
Los Alamos
I know about a few local … I’m going to say businesses, non-profits or organizations (B,N,O) … experiencing a crisis of leadership and I wanted to register some thoughts.
I say BNO because my goal is not to throw any singular entity under the bus, but struggle is afoot. I do hope people unite to engage in potential ways to solve issues in this community.
I’ll start with my philosophy about what makes a great leader. The first is that if the custodian urgently becomes ill and out sick for a few days and the leader is too good to clean the toilet, he/she is not a good leader. Read More
