Earth Day Week-April 19-25th 2009

This is one of my most favorite weeks. Mother Earth is honored this week around the world. There has been an increased awareness on the things that are happening to our beautiful planet. This may have been long overdue, but I am glad that people are finally taking notice. The number one threat to Mother Earth is humans. This planet gives, gives, gives to us and we take, take, take. Any relationship needs a little give and take. Her are a few things you can do to honor and cherish Mother Earth:

1) Wash your laundry in cold water

2) Use reusable bags when shopping anywhere

3) Recycle your plastic , paper and glass (recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to power a computer for up to 30 minutes).

4) Unplug appliances when not in use (This can shave 10% off your electricity bill)

5) Switch to CFL lighting (A worldwide switch to CFL's would cause such a drop in electricity use that we could close more than 250 coal fired power plants)

6) Drink filtered tap water (In the U.S. 30 million plastic water bottles are thrown away each day)

7) Turn off the water while you brush your teeth (The average person would save about 150,000 gallons of water over a lifetime)

8) Eat locally grown foods, buy foods in season, eat out at local restaurants and grow your own food.

9) Buy clothing at thrift stores, recycle your old clothes at thrift stores.

10) Pay your bills online (If all Americans received and paid their bills online, they'd save 18.5 million trees'-worth of paper each year)

11) Make your next computer a laptop (It will consume up to 90% less energy)

12) Drive slower (Driving at 50mph uses 30% less fuel than driving at 70mph)

There are tons and tons of ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. Try to adopt one of the above suggestions this week, in honor of Earth Day !!!

What's up in my world on April 5th 2009

I like this picture of an angel sitting in her cup, just thinking. Thinking is what I've been doing a lot of lately. My angels and spirit guides are keeping me on track with my goals this year. This blog is somewhat a personal accounting for me, but also entertainment for you. The personal accounting that I'm working on right now is getting my Reiki for children class up and going on my site, as well as starting up a physical class here in Green Bay. Now, Green Bay is not the most "Metaphysical" city in the Midwest, but it's getting there. The word "Reiki" is starting to get a little bit mainstream. I don't think that there will be a witch hunt in my neighborhood anytime soon !!! Rest assured, but please check in on me if I don't update this blog for awhile.

This week has been a busy week for me. We celebrated the one year birthday of Psychic Radio and Lisa J Smith's show "For The Soul"-this radio station is growing by leaps and bounds. The site that I created for Lisa is going strong, we have almost 500 members. You can check that out at www.forthesoul.ning.com. Please feel free to join us-it is a great community that will uplift you. We bought two Lego sets for Tim (my son)-Indiana Jones-what's not to like about Indiana Jones. I remember Harrison Ford in his Hey Day-quite the looker !!!

Easter is coming up this week-we set up our Easter Egg tree and decorated just a wee bit....I don't enjoy clutter. Easter for me was always a joyful time of Easter Bonnets with that darn elastic band that went under your chin, white shoes and Easter Lily's. Christians celebrate the rebirth of Jesus and the proof that there is life after death. I've looked at Easter a bit differently the past few years. Tradition is nice, but the message that Easter brings to me is that we are all "one spirit"-that we all have a little bit of the creator in each of us. Can you imagine what we could do if we all got together and meshed a little bit of God spirit with everyone else's God spirit. I believe that is what the creator intended. Take the time to really listen...listen...listen to other people. Find the God spirit in everyone you meet.

On a lighter note-"My washer and dryer will be delivered next week Saturday"-talk about a rebirth !!!! No more laundromat (although the laundromat attendant is such a wonderful spirit, so glad to have met her). Bring on the dirty laundry !!!

Have a great week everyone !!!! Don't forget the Reiki 1 class starts up on Monday, April 6th. There are a few slots left: www.healingmom.com.
