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…)

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.

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 of the report looked… (more…)

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 speak for many of us… (more…)
