Freedom
In this time of ‘Stay Home’, just something to think about:
Our world is changing. Who and how do you want to be now?
Freedom, how easily given up. What about getting it back? Getting something better?
Closed for a bit-
Yes, coronavirus is in New Mexico.
My office is closed following Governor’s ‘stay at home’ decree.
For now, practicing gratitude prayers, appreciating nature and wild essences.
Appreciating all those working for all of us- thank you for showing up and being present, Thank You!!!
Please take good care. Get lots of rest, clean water, fresh air and sunshine. Stay connected to loved ones and all in need.
Kindness, Kindness, Kindness between the spaces of other.
Be well, more when ready, and here…

Zero-Waste Lifestyle- Happy Resolutions for All
Pondering what to do for your New Year’s Resolution? No problem, start your zero-waste lifestyle now. From previous post, you know that I love going without plastic whenever possible. LOVE clean shampoo bars and conditioners(Alo Goods in Colorado, Ethique, talk with your local soap makers) cleaners from bar soaps or home supplies- melt olive or coconut bar on stove add baking soda essential oils and cleaning happens beautifully, modify and toothpaste happens:)
More in a bit- off to work.

Strong, Flexible Heart
Some days are easier than others, remembering lush green forests and incredibly clear water. Deeply acknowledging that we share this planet with all the amazing beings in the forests and oceans, and back yards. For me, making positive change includes greatly reducing any use of products with palm oil. Finding palm oil free products takes a little time and a flexible heart: Feel the pain of the devastation consumerism is causing the planet, move forward with knowledge, compassion, and power of our spending dollars. Consume less and consume smarter. Of course, looking for other healthy ingredients and plastic free containers and packaging. Sound like too much effort- hopefully not, given that our choices are directly effecting our air & water quality and all life that earth sustains.
Palm oil is in so many products from baked goods, cereals, to soap and cosmetics- ugh!
There are sites to visit to educate yourself about palm oil and palm free products.

treehugger.com also has info and is a fun site.
Some of my palm free adventure has included:
*Close to local, Alo Goods in Denver Colorado makes palm free and plastic free soaps, shampoo and luxurious conditioner bars:
Naturally crafted for a nourished “you” and a sustainable “all”.
Our goal is a return to sustainable, natural living for all.
With products handcrafted from natural ingredients and packaged in either recyclable, compostable, or reusable materials…
you can help us all live closer to nature.” http://www.shopalogoods.com
*I also like Ethique soaps and shampoo bars- palm free plastic free, but buy it thru Amazon. ( I like to rotate soaps, shampoos, foods)
*I love Booda Organics powdered laundry soap- truly awesome and no powdered flake residue. Booda is also palm oil free and plastic free- including incredible ecobalm for lips:)

Holiday Candy Without Palm Oil ~ Palm Oil Free Christmas Candy
M&M’s Milk Chocolate, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Kisses, and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars are fine if you are avoiding palm oil.
You can also find original Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups which don’t list palm oil ingredients. Read labels.
From Mercola- STOP BUYING PLASTIC!!!
They’re the World’s Worst Polluter – Do You Encourage Them?
“Story at-a-glance
- A number of chemicals found in plastic products are known to act as endocrine disruptors. Some of the most pervasive and well-known include phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA)
- As the harms of BPA have become more widely known, many companies have started replacing it with other chemicals. However, these replacement chemicals also have no safety record, and as time goes on, we’re finding they’re just as hazardous as BPA
- A recent study showed that 97.5% of children and adolescents had detectable levels of BPA in their urine; 87.8% had BPS; and 55.2% had BPF. All three chemicals correlated with an increased risk for obesity, even after the researchers controlled for caloric intake
- A scientific review found BPB has endocrine disruptive effects; it affected reproductive function, damaging sperm and lowering egg production, lowered testosterone production and had estrogenic activity, “similar to or greater than BPA”
- For the second year in a row, The Coca-Cola Co. was found to be the most polluting brand in a global audit of plastic trash. Coca-Cola is responsible for more plastic litter than the next top three polluters combined”Read More >>
I will write more about changes I have made and changes I have started…
Yikes! Happy Belated Year of the Earth Pig- Earth being focus
It is already April 2019! In Chinese astrology it is another year of Earth element.
For now, just a reminder of the macrocosm – microcosm: how we treat the earth effects us, how we treat ourselves effects the earth. Healthy means good for you- good for the planet, air, water, animals, 2,4 5 & 8 legged, winged, scaled, etc. It is important not only to eat clean healthy foods, but to also use ‘clean healthy’ products. For example, from NRDC
From GreenMedinfo.com, time to pay more attention to what you put on your body- and the packaging of it. ‘If You Won’t Eat It, Don’t Use It‘ Be aware Mineral Oil is Petroleum- not good for you to put on or ingest:
