And by environment I don't just mean the literal health of our planet but also society and how the increased connectivity has impacted our awareness and sometimes perhaps over exposure to what is happening all over the globe.

So many major milestones in my life and the lives of those around me, how could it not be? I mean the year I turn 30... Not only has that proven to be true but the past few months have been jam packed.

Today my brother and I got ant tattoos on our wrists as a reminder to keep up our ANTi status. :) Plus, like I said, my mom said at her 50th birthday that she wanted a tattoo on her 60th so it was a family affair!

I didn't see all of the shows I wanted to but I did manage to hit a few good ones.
