Have you had an opportunity to see “The Future of Food” yet? This was not a movie that made it to your local theater, but it continues to impact those of us who get an opportunity to view it. It was produced in 2004 to shed light on the GMO food industry. As stated at their website, “The Future of… (more…)

Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: A Mouse In the House!
One evening before I left for Italy, we discovered a baby field mouse in our house. It had apparently entered through the back door along with our cat and dog. My daughter Alix was awakened by our cat making sounds she’d never heard before and realized Smokey was chasing and batting around this baby mouse. Of course, Alix woke me… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Take a Walk On the Wild Side!
Today my challenge is for all of us to get outdoors this weekend and take a walk on the wild side. Where I live in Colorado–at about 6300 feet–the wildflowers are in bloom. A few weeks ago, I and my family discovered a wonderful ridgeline trail near our home. We’ve made it a point to walk the trail at least… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Continued Awakening
It’s so easy to find ourselves living with a sense of despair as we contemplate what is happening to our planet, especially when we consider events such as the continuing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But despair equates to disempowerment–a place which leaves us fearful, hopeless, and victim-bound. So how can we awaken our sense of hope and… (more…)
Footprint Friday–Bellisima Green Challenge: Awakening Me, the Dreamer
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…)
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…)
