• MAGICAL MONDAY–THE 100TH INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY TODAY!

  Today, March 8, 2010, is the 100th International Women’s Day–it began in 1911.
  All over the world today, events have taken place celebrating International Women’s Day and the role of women in bringing about positive change in the world. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, [...]

• Simply Saturday–Bellisima Living, LLC Has A Logo!

  Thanks to my daughter, Frankie, Bellisima Living, LLC now has a logo. She has captured the look and feel I’d been hoping for.
  It has been an interesting experience as we’ve navigated the relationships of mother-daughter and client-consultant simultaneously. Being my 14-year old daughter’s client along with being her mother was a bit of a [...]

• Tasty Thursday–Zesty Quinoa With Broccoli and Cashews

  It’s been awhile since I posted a recipe–it’s long overdue. In Whole Foods’ latest coupon magazine, quinoa is being highlighted. I love quinoa as a breakfast food, in place of bulgar wheat when I make tabouli, and in place of rice as a side dish. An article on Whole Foods’ website states, “Quinoa, which is [...]

• Intuitive Tuesday–Leaping!

  Getting stuck can be so painful, and in the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling the effects of that. Although so much has begun to move and align with regard to my business (and it’s all really fantastic!), I’ve found myself stuck in some areas and unable to make decisions about the actions to take–or [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–That “Clean” Smell

  In the past few weeks, I have spoken to two groups about creating the “Clean, Green Home.” When asked how they decide that their house is clean, the majority of those responding said it was based on how their home smells. Just like women since the mid-1900’s, we’ve been led to believe that the stronger [...]

• Footprint Friday–Awakening the Dreamer-The Symposium

  Last night, after holding my workshop on how to choose cleaner, greener household products, I learned about The Pachamama Alliance. On their website, it states, “The Pachamama Alliance is a U.S. based not-for-profit organization that was born out of a relationship developed between a group of people from the modern world and the leaders of [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Healing Mother Earth

  In alignment with Valentine’s Day, it feels appropriate to focus today on how we can all participate in the healing of our planet through Metta. We can send love and healing to our planet through a lovingkindness meditation in the same way we send blessings to ourselves and others. As Joan Borysenko states in Pocketful [...]

• Soulful Sunday–Happy Valentine’s Day!

  I feel so loved today!! Today started in our home with kisses, hugs, homemade cards, and little special gifts–a few chocolates for my daughters and my husband and a beautiful leather journal made in Italy for me (as a writer, I was deeply touched to receive such a beautiful gift from my husband). Aside from [...]
