Being “Green” has a whole new meaning to me now. While I love our planet and try to recycle, use less energy and water, etc., being green is now synonymous with eating raw vegetables as much as I can. It’s growing my own sprouts to eat every day (do you know how much vitamins and nutrients are packed in the seed/sprout??) and herbs to cook with. It’s having way more than the daily recommended amount of fruits and veggies each day. It’s eating less, but better quality, meat, fish and eggs.
Our new kitchen is a “living kitchen” …herbs growing in jars on the windows and an indoor garden shelf right in the kitchen stocked full of pots of more herbs, lettuce, wheatgrass and jars of every seed sprouting imaginable. Our latest venture? Chia seeds. Did you know you can eat Chia sprouts? They are the trickiest seed to sprout I’ve encountered, but so cool!
In case you’re new to our lives and wondering why (also recognizing I haven’t ever spent much time on this blog) … In May, my Mom was given 6 months to live. Now, 6 months later, she’s stronger than ever. And this new lifestyle is a huge factor. If you know someone dealing with cancer, we would really love to talk to them!!!
Here’s to hoping you can all be “green” even if you are healthy… it will help you stay that way!
Hey Bex
Great post Bex _ pic also really liked the long postingyou did on the plane journey 🙂
Being Green does take time when you first start out but before long, everything is an easy routine with fantastically, fascinating ‘things’ you find out about your-self.
Then, you meet all those great people who come into your life with the same interest for the planet etc.. I gave a lady back to her car last night from the gas station (she was filling up a petrol can) her car was about 2 miles away! On the way we chatted and she has just recently started her own natural skin care business. We exchanged cards to network and voila another ‘eco’ friend 🙂 Funny thing was this lady had just been in a local theatre production called Love Is In The Air and she was about 63 years old with THE best looking skin I had every seen in my life!
Keep up the great work, stop buying vases and mugs – Live ‘Light’ (it’s my new saying)
Much love
