Conscious Gift guide
Mother Nature, Gaia, planet Earth - home we all share. Energetically speaking it is a feminine aspect of creation, she supports us all, she gives birth, she sustains and nourishes. And more often than not we take it for granted. Last couple of years , albeit challenging in many ways, also had many silver linings attached to them. They illuminated few important themes, serving as a catalyst for many to dig deep and find out their true values. As we were pushed to be less connected to each other and Nature, many started to appreciate all those things we used to take for granted. Additionally, as we faced something totally unprecedented - our resilience was tested and many of us started to take our health and well-being more seriously. You can say that what is emerging for many as a result of the events of the last two years, is a more conscious approach to life, more holistic view of oneself, as well as the interconnectedness of all things on this planet.

Growing up on Earth
The year is 2050. Your daughter is 37 years of age and just became a mom herself. Earth has been depleted of almost all its fossil fuels. Oil, a fossil fuel used to power our vehicles, machinery, ships, industries, airplanes and all else that allowed a comfortable life during the past century has been completely or nearly all used up. The mom and the baby struggle to survive. Days are cold. Nights are long. There is little hope in sight.

We are the change
We were featured in our local newspaper because of what makes my family unique. When your family picture gets featured in the newspaper, it can be a moment of pure pride. You suddenly hit five minutes of fame, which can get overwhelming. We had more than five minutes, so the readers asked many questions. We are a family that isn't conforming to what society dictates.

Merry Stress-mas!. Top Story - December 2021.
I love the joy of the holidays. Twinkly lights. Cocoa delights. Snowy nights. Growing up I cherished every Christmas tradition, no questions asked. Picking out a tree that we’d trim to a holly, jolly soundtrack. Plugging in each string of lights and playing the game Which Bulb Is the Dud? Sneaking downstairs in awe at the vast number of colorfully wrapped presents under the tree and trying to guess which of us four kids would get the biggest one. Salivating over myriad crockpots lined up at my grandparents’ house stewing for our Christmas feast.

The Great Christmas Tree Debate: Is a Real or an Artificial Tree Better for the Environment?. Top Story - December 2021.
Introduction America today is a country divided. There is the great political divide of our times between the “Red Team” and the “Blue Team.” There are the “vaccinated” and the “unvaccinated” when it comes to COVID. There are those who intensely follow sports, celebrities, crypto...whatever, and those who feel that such pursuits are a waste of time. And more and more, our positions are hardening on seemingly everything, where we see fellow travelers as being with us and those who see things in an opposite, or even neutral way, as being against us.
