Bellisima Green Challenge–Week 3 (What Do Gorillas Have To Do With Being Green?)
Bellisima Green Challenge–Week 3 (What Do Gorillas Have To Do With Being Green?) avatar

I got a phone call from the World Wildlife Fund last week asking for a donation. The gentleman focused on the plight of the gorilla and told me that 2009 is the Year of the Gorilla. I wanted to get off the phone because I knew I wouldn’t be able to make a donation at this time (I have made… (more…)

Bellisima Cucina–Pumpkin Muffins

Every year, as the weather gets cooler and crisper and the leaves start turning brilliant colors of red, orange and yellow, my girls ask me to make two traditional fall recipes. The first is Pumpkin Muffins. I’ve been making these since they were toddlers–at 14 years old it’s still one of their favorites. I hope your family enjoys these as… (more…)

Where I live, the weather has suddenly changed–the last couple nights have been in the 30′s. So, as much as I’d like to postpone the use of our furnace, the time has come to turn it on. This is the primary heat source for our home. We also have an electric fireplace in our basement and a gas fireplace in… (more…)

Equinox and Balance

Today is the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. Those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere are now entering the autumn season–leaves are changing color, the air is becoming cool and crisp, and the nights are getting colder. It is a beautiful time of the year! Today, all over the world,… (more…)

Gratitude

This past Friday night, I had the awesome opportunity to be in a circle of women and share a spa experience with them. During the relaxation visualization, I asked them to see themselves waking up tomorrow with smiles on their faces and feeling a deep sense of gratitude for their lives. I’ve read about gratitude in so many books and… (more…)

At my request, we had a “pest control” company come and talk to us about IPM yesterday. In my last Green Challenge post, I defined IPM as Integrated Pest Management. But what does that really mean in a very practical sense? According to 50simplethings.com, IPM “is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination… (more…)

My Gifts from the Sea
My Gifts from the Sea avatar

While at the beach in California, I reread Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s “Gift From the Sea.” I’d forgotten just how many gems that book contains! The biggest “gift” this book offers is timeless wisdom. Who would have thought that a book written 54 years ago would have just as much, and maybe even more, relevance today–but it does! The entire book… (more…)

One of the disturbing images from our trip to California was seeing how non-organic fruits and vegetables are grown. But let me digress for a moment…My teenage daughters have, for the past few years, believed that I am a little off my rocker. They actually call me “voodoo mom” because of my beliefs when it comes to the foods, household… (more…)

The first week of September, my family and I had the chance to spend a week on a beach near Santa Cruz, California. After spending time there and being close to some of California’s agricultural lands, there’s a lot on my mind. One of the areas to look at further is plastic–I can’t seem to let this subject go. When… (more…)
