• Wellness Wednesday–Ciao from Italy!

  It’s midnight in Italy–the start of a new day, Wednesday! We’re on our way to Venice after spending time in Lake Como, Milan, and a small town in Tuscany–Marginone–the birthplace of my maternal grandmother who was born in 1898.

• Wellness Wednesday–Weeds

  Yesterday afternoon, I went outside to begin weeding my side yard. I soon found myself trying to decide what to pull and what to leave. I’d intended to pull everything growing where only rocks were supposed to be. However, when I first walked into the yard, I encountered this wonderfully fragrant scent. It was so [...]

• Intuitive Tuesday and Wellness Wednesday–A New Dream!

  This past weekend, as I attended the training to become a facilitator for the Pachamama Alliance “Awakening the Dreamer” Symposium, I was profoundly moved.

  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!

• Wellness Wednesday–Food for Thought

  As I was doing some research for quotes which I could post to my Twitter account yesterday (yes, I do have a Twitter account–it is bellisimagoddes, if you want to look for me–one “s” instead of two), I came across this very thought-provoking quote by Jane Goodall. It is much too large to post to [...]

• 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 [...]

• 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.
