This Voice In My Heart
Please read "This Voice In My Heart" by Gilbert Tuhabonye.
I may have mentioned it on this site before, but now that I am becoming friends with the Burundi (who are Hutus)
family here in Austin, it strikes an even deeper chord for me.
Gilbert, who is a Tutsi, now lives in Austin and teaches running clinics. He is an amazing person to have survived so much.
If you want to know more about the devastating conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi tribes, you will learn about it first hand from Gilbert's stunning
account.
Love,
Sara

Blast from the Zippity Do Dah Past! Little Blue Man!!!
November 29, 2007
Hey Sara,
I had the good fortune of interviewing you for a morning radio show I
used to do in Monticello NY about a million years ago.
While cleaning out the garage a couple of weeks back in preparation for
a garage sale I came across a cassette of that
Interview from 11/6/1990. I had recorded it off the air on a $10
walkman knock-off so the quality is suspect at best.
Anyway...as I ramble...I thought you might like to hear an excerpt from
that interview. It refers to your "secret song" on your then latest album. Hope all is well.

Take care,

Homeless Thermal Underwear Drive
November 28, 2007
One of my favorite groups, House the Homeless, leads an annual Thermal Underwear drive for the homeless.
$10 puts a set of thermals on a man or woman
$20 provides thermals AND gloves
$25 provides thermals, a hat and gloves
Underwear, gloves and hat can make the difference between frostbite and fingers that function, and even life or death. I don't mean
to sound melodramatic...I mean to share with you that your simple gift is of great importance. I have seen what the
hands and faces of homeless endure in bitter, freezing weather.
I can't say enough about Richard Troxell, House the Homeless and everyone involved in this group. They are tireless and
work endlessly to help protect, clothe, and get homeless folks off the street and into shelter...from temporary to permanent.
You are also welcome to donate more, if you are willing...I promise you that every dime is used wisely, with the intent to help
and nurture our displaced fellow human beings.
If you can, please send a check to:
House the Homeless
P.O. Box 2312
Austin, TX 78768
Thank you, and all my love,
Sara
