Count your blessings!

It occurred to me today that I am very blessed and fortunate to have discovered Hyena Cart, an on-line community devoted to hand crafted and Earth-friendly items.

It's amazing to me how much I have shifted my buying habits since I discovered this fabulous group of vendors.

It has been months since I "Had to" go to my local Megalomart for:

- Diapers
- Wipes
- Soap
- Hygiene Supplies
- Clothing
- Toys
- Candy
- Paper Towels
- Tea or Coffee

I truly appreciate having the option of supporting my fellow man instead of the giant corporations. It's nice to know that someone lovingly crafted an item instead of it being subjected to the mass production process - a process that allows for too many dangerous mishaps (as evidenced by the many recalls).

That being said - it's also an awesome, loving community unlike any other I've encountered. It's policy to keep it positive - there is no snark or negativity that can make so many other on-line ventures feel hostile to the new member.

If you have never visited HC, please do!
You may also be in for a mildly life altering experience. :)
