OntheWilderSide

When I was seeking a life partner I knew I wanted someone who was both passionate and compassionate. Someone who cared deeply and broadly.  I was lucky enough to find someone who would stop to play flute for a group of strangers to calm them after there was a fire at their nursing home.

This project is our way of caring deeply and broadly about humanity.  It is our daily Valentine to the world.  One way we show our love is in how we engage in mercantile transactions, what we call compassionate shopping.  We want to share with you places we have found where our dollars feed our values.

One of those place is Powells bookstore.  Why a bookstore for Valentine’s Day?  Since it’s invention, language has been an expression of love.   What makes buying these books from Powells an act of compassionate shopping?  They are all being sold through Powells.com.  Powells is a socially responsible, environmentally conscious,union bookstore.

From Powells, we present a collection of books for everyone’s Valentine’s Day:

• A love poetry book for everyone
• A love poetry book for your partner
• A love book for your soul
• A fun Valentine poetry adventure
