This weekend I will be involved in the training required to become a facilitator of Pachamama Alliance’s Awakening the Dreamer Symposium. I am excited, awestruck, and nervous as I become a part of this monumental bridge of past and present to create a sustainable future for all life. As I’ve been reading my preparatory materials, I’ve come across some rather… (more…)

Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: I Say a Prayer for the Healing of the Earth
After many posts about actions to take to aid in the healing of our planet over this past month, I have felt the need to pause for the last week and just allow all of that information to settle in. I also wanted time to sit with Jeff Graef’s beautiful affirmation for the Earth. Today on Footprint Friday and the… (more…)
Wellness Wednesday–One Day to Earth Day: Precycling and Purchasing Recycled!
In addition to the 3 R’s–reduce, reuse and recycle–there’s a wonderful word to add to your vocabulary and to put into action in your life: PRECYCLE! While recycling can be very helpful for the environment, precycling can reduce waste before it gets to that point. Precycling is actually preventing and lowering the amount of waste in the world due to… (more…)
Intuitive Tuesday–Recycling, Recycling, and More Recycling?
As we continue to look at our recycling efforts, I want to interject one idea worthy of consideration. Environmental advocates are calling on manufacturers to consider the entire life cycle of products from manufacture through disposal and to create products that don’t need to be dumped at the end of their lives into a landfill, but can actually be composted… (more…)
Magical Monday–More Thoughts on Recycling!
Sometimes deciding what or how to recycle an item can be difficult. In this post we’ll look bioplastics, biodegradables, and compostables. Tomorrow, we’ll look at plastics, electronic waste and paper. Oftentimes, the terms bioplastics, biodegradables, and compostables are used interchangeably. They do not really all mean the same thing however. Let’s start with biodegradables. What exactly constitutes a biodegradable product?… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Last of the 3 R’s–Recycling!
Recycling comes last in our prioritization of the 3 R’s (remember: reduce first, reuse second, and recycle third). Although recycling is good for the environment, reducing and reusing are ideal. Recycling still requires energy and can add pollutants to our air and water. So, before you add something to one of your recycling bins, take one last look and think… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Become a Patron of Your Local Library
I love books and I never seem to have enough of them surrounding me! Spiritual books, personal growth books, how-to books, inspirational stories, biographies, travel books, fiction, and more, can be found throughout my home. In addition to the words contained in books, I love their smell and how they feel as I hold them. When we moved to Colorado… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Do Something Green Every Day in April in Honor of Earth Day!
The 40th Anniversary of Earth Day will take place on April 22nd! So where are we 40 years later? There are many who think that the concepts of “green” and “green living” have been exploited, misused, overused and even modified to such an extent that one cannot tell what it really means to be “green.” Those same people believe the… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Earth Hour 2010!
Earth Hour is upon us! On Saturday, March 27th at 8:30 PM local time, we are all being asked to join World Wildlife Fund in turning off our lights for one hour, Earth Hour, demanding immediate action on climate change. The Earth Hour movement, which started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, now encompasses 120 countries and all 50 states and… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Creating Spaces!
At the beginning of this week, I had a revelation about my business. In order for it to grow and thrive, I must create more space for it. “But how exactly do I do that?” I thought. “I’m not at a point in time to rent office space nor do I really want to work outside my home while I… (more…)
