Giving always leads to receiving, and nature is no exception. Our property recently became certified as a wildlife refuge. The cost was minimal, but the benefits are high. For a few dollars here and there, and very little time daily to maintain, we now have more and more birds, and wildlife to [...]

Vegan Traveler
Posted in Healthy living on June 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I never thought of vegans as bold, but until I became one, I never truly knew how strong you have to be. I don’t just mean strong in will, since everyone around you is eating “the popular standard.” You have to be up for the emotional challenge as well. Whenever you either [...]

“Everyone has a way to see, find, and add to the beauty of this world.”
Have you found some beauty today? Looking within do you see your beauty? Can you look at your outside without judgment or criticism? Have you added to the beauty of the world today? Many times society looks [...]

Recently, while on a trip up north in the beautiful wooded wilderness, the “naturalist” came out in me and thought, “Why aren’t there recycling bins in hotel and motels? The enormous amount of things thrown away that could cleanly, and easily, go into recycling bins is a tragedy that could be avoided. The [...]

No matter how much money you have, most all of us have to work for it, trading our time for the “green stuff.” Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds if we could live greener, while keeping more “greenbacks?”
I recently read the books, Nothing’s Too Small to Make a Difference, by Wanda Urbanska, [...]
Life’s Travels

My husband and I love to travel, and I have learned many things from our travels so far. People are wonderful and rude all over the world, and there is beauty and serenity where everyone lives, we usually only see if it we stop and take the time to look. When I am [...]

I recently took a break from writing to help teach kindergarten through seventh graders physical education. Looking at it as a great opportunity to observe (that research part of my nature kicking in,) while also having an opportunity to teach yoga, would be a nice change for the kids, as well as myself, from [...]
