• 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. 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 [...]

  Even though bisphenol A (BPA) first made [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Is Organic Really Best?

  My Body & Soul magazine arrived a couple of days ago–immediately, an article caught my attention. It’s entitled, “Is Organic Really Better For You?” The article analyzes some recent findings on this subject.
  Apparently, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition released a report finding that organic food is no more nutritious than conventional foods. The authors [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Learn to Say No!

  Magical Monday was about the messages I received via my Bubble Goddess spa experience on Sunday. One of the messages expressed in more than one way was, “Learn to say ‘no.’” This simple two-letter word that we all used so freely as two years old–and maybe again in our teens–seems to become more difficult to [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Is That Cancer In Your Lotion?

  The founder of Bubble Goddess Bath Co., Jennifer Leete, does a presentation called, “Is There Cancer In Your Lotion?” The premise is to show people that many, many products have ingredients that are harmful to us and our families. Once participants go home and do some of their own investigation, they usually realize that even [...]

• Wellness Wednesday–Teach Your Children Well

  Last night our family was having a discussion about why it’s important to eat organic food. My husband and I were talking about some of our concerns with buying produce and meats that are not organic. One of my 14-year old daughters said, “Well, why didn’t you tell us this a long time ago? If [...]
