This week was full of surprises-good surprises. Part of what I truly love about this job is that I rarely have any idea what each day will bring. I can plan and organize as much as I want, but sometimes that inbox has something else in mind for me. And I like it that way. The down side of the surprise element is that I sometimes don’t get as much accomplished as I would like during the day. This was one of those weeks where I was off-track, but somehow landed back on. Here are a few of the highlights.
Disney Petition Update
This week I want to send a shout out to a few of the incredible supporters of my Disney petition.
- Thank you to Katy from Non-Toxic Kids for writing a wonderful article [2] about the petition.
- I’m so grateful to Emily over at Random Recycling for sharing information on the petition [3] with her readers.
- Thank you to Sarah Caron over at SheKnows [4] for publishing an article after interviewing me about the petition.
- I so appreciate the mention of the Disney petition by Dr. Sarah Janssen in LA Weekly [5].
At last check 57,716 of you had signed the petition asking Disney to remove toxic chemicals from their Spiderman and princess lunch boxes. THANK YOU.
