Our Book
This is a memoir of our lives and sometimes risky decisions. We relate our early years, meeting and raising kids, and building the farm, the organic movement and a healthy community. We didn’t always go along with what most Americans were doing, especially in the areas of diet and health care, employment, debt and consumerism, energy use, and culture. In this book we explain what we did, why we did it, and how it turned out. We hope it is both entertaining and helpful to people wanting to fashion a purposeful life.

Ho’oponopono
This week I happened upon Joe Vitale (“Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More”), who is a strong proponent for Ho’oponopono. Ho’oponopono means ‘to make things right‘. It is a prayer and a Hawaiian practice for forgiveness. It is a powerful mantra for giving you a clean slate. According to…

If you are still breathing, your purpose on earth has not yet been fulfilled – Andy Andrews
I have really been enjoying my books on tape since I signed up to Audible a couple of years ago. Thanks to brother Tom for that wonderful tip. Andy Andrews wrote “The Seven Decisions”, and if you like the Norman Vincent Peale approach to life as laid out in “the Power of Positive Thinking,” you…

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
That is clearly very wise wisdom, and each day I start out with that as my intention. I usually come into problems when I encounter the first other person that day! I have for a long time been convinced that my thoughts are out there for the world to see. This is particularly clear for…

Don’t put ice cream on top of poop – Kim D’Eramo
Welcome back everyone. I missed you! After looking at light boxes for 3 plus weeks now (almost 2 weeks to go), I actually am seeing better! Most noticeable is that it is easier to drive places and to do it with calmness. The light box will be followed by 12 weeks of vision therapy. Sky…

That is free too, and worth looking into if you subscribe to the notion that one can tap on one’s acupuncture points while reprogramming them with positive statements. I will probably check…

Provide the right conditions for all the microbes to work together – Christine Jones
It is fascinating what is coming to light regarding what is happening beneath our feet. I was re-listening to Christine Jones’ fascinating talk presented for the Green Cover Seed folks last year (sent to me by our latest job applicant who will come and formally interview Saturday) and was reminded about this lesson and how…
