Most of the time when I focus on wellness, I focus on the physical actions I can do to promote health in my body: a good diet, supplements, physical exercise, a less toxic home environment. I also make sure that I am supporting myself spiritually by journaling, meditating and taking time in nature. The area that seems to get the… (more…)

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. While here in Tuscany, we’ve visited a few other towns and cities, including Florence and Lucca. What diverse living styles we’ve… (more…)

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.

This past weekend, as I attended the training to become a facilitator for the Pachamama Alliance “Awakening the Dreamer” Symposium, I was profoundly moved. I am still processing all that I felt, heard, and participated in.

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!

Precycling is actually preventing and lowering the amount of waste in the world due to… (more…)

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 Twitter (which allows only 140… (more…)

Wellness Wednesday–That “Clean” Smell avatar

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 the products smell, the cleaner… (more…)
