We are no longer going to battle the "links" war, which stated simply: the more links you have on your site the more likely your site is to rank higher on a search engine. (Yes, that is why so many "links" pages on other web sites seem to have bizarre, irrelevant links for you).  Instead we present our hand picked links page.  What does that mean?  Below you will find links that I, Sandy, have personally researched and have determined these companies have morals and values similar to mine.   While I will concede that my "standards" are may not be universally correct or true or even right, they are mine and they are why I live the way I do both in my personal journey and business dealings. I will not get on a soap box and preach why everyone should or shouldn't buy or visit these sites.  However, I am only listing sites that I believe care about our planet and respect people and animals.    If you ever want to know why we have chosen to recommend a particular site, email me and I will tell you why!
