I've always been concious of the environment but I'm becoming more active about getting back to basics and going green. I am a single mom of 5, only 3 still at home, (2 of which have special needs). I have to concider their future while still living in the present, which is much easier said than done. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor but it's not vulgar or hurtful. Life can be very tough on a person if you can't learn to laugh at it, and at yourself. I'm in the process of trying to get my book published. It's based on the questions my son asked when, after living the first five years of his life being abused, he came to live with me and my now exhusband five years ago. We later adopted him and his younger brother. I couldn't find anything to help him so I wrote this book, knowing there are so many children in the same situation. All in all, my life is stressful but has always been that way so simplification is a must but laughter and faith is my salvation. |

Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse.
I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too.
I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
