My Sustainable Stories

There they stand, two new big box stores with the title Win Co Foods. They are another Walmart. They are the beast of burdens. Right now you are trying to figure out what I mean by that, exactly? A beast of burden is an ox or donkey that does all the heavy labor. AZ, or any other state who is Not Idaho has to labor extra hard to work against the damage done by Walmarts and Win Co's.

If you haven't noticed by now, These big box stores sweep in, sweep you off your feet...

It is a new year in the Christian world. Many folks look for a new years resolution to put some pep back into their lives. They seek change and ‘new life’. I wonder, What is the top new years resolutions? Can you take a guess?

 #1 is spend more time with friends and family. The runners up are #2 fit in fitness and #3 tame the bulge. #4 is quit smoking and #5 is enjoy life more.

How can we more time with family, fit the gym in, while enjoying life? Glad you asked. ...

When was the last time you decribed the color of peace as the color of blue? How about the color of red as life, or the taste of a tomato? When was the last time you paid any attention to the peacefulness in a day or the taste of a tomato? Most Americans don’t slow down until they are sitting in front of a television or computer, and they certainly aren’t paying attention to that 2 week old, wilted tomato slice in their Big Mac, they slam down their desensitized throats.

OK, I might have gotten too narrow in my title of this, because I believe that everyone on this Planet, who is human, wishes to have some sort of profitable job. That job can be as simple as collecting alm. cans and selling them- to running for Mayor for your city. The point is, there is a dream and many dreams, in this current state of economics are not materalizing.

What could be the problem? Can we blame it on a President ? or a Queen? Can we blame it on immigrants 'steali...

1. can you live with less and LESS mosquito FREE evenings? (warm air is moving more north)

2. can you live without polar bears? can you live without wondering when the polar bears will be looking for food in your home, further south?

3. can you live without mild, constant sun-shiny days in LA because 2ft of snow dumped on the area.

4. can you (and thousands of others) without power (heat) for days, during an ice storm in New England? 42.2 inches of Snow dumpe...

The stork, being UPS, arrived like a long awaited little baby delivery. My organic, white duvet and shams from Magnolia Organics are here!

Why would I compare my duvet to a little baby‘s arrival? I am a mother of two beautiful children. I longed for their precious presence in my life. This is similar. The soft breathe of something so clean and PURE. The little package of organic...

As you might have already figured out, I am an RN. I have performed many different treatments for many different ailments, on patients newborn to geriatrics on hospice. The ones I enjoyed the most were in post-partum and the least were on cancer pts, perhaps for obvious reasons. I also, teach other nurses as a clinical educatior. No wonder I enjoy teaching, on my own blog, the benefits of caring for OUR common Mother, because we all know if Mother is happy, the family is happy.

 When I say your world, I mean your little bubble you live in; your day to day life.

Ultimately, what I will talk about will change THE world, but you will see how they both are

intermingled. It will all start with an apple core and where you put it. It’s as simple as the last place you put it once you are done using it. With me, it all started by a turn of a door knob and an extension of an arm. When I was done with a piece of produce I threw it out my front door, and ...

May 21st. it is coming! The end of the world as we know it!

Awww. I can finally smoke as many cigarettes as I wish, permanently call off sick from work and use as much plastic as I want! whoa who! oh, wait, I don't smoke, My job..Mom. I've also gotten rid of 1/2 of the plastic in my house and replaced it with glass! crap!

Okay, new plan. Stop worrying about all the cigarettes littering the street. Stop trying to cut my 2 year old hippy son's hair, to throw in the compos...
