Leaving the Bubble

Byskydiva February 15, 2012June 8, 2013

For the first time in 3 weeks, we left the Mount Madonna retreat to go in to town. What a revelation! Life all of a sudden became hectic, and the beauty of nature discovered in the Redwoods felt extremely distant. However, acclimatizing myself to life off the mountain is good thing. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Santa Cruz, stocking up on yummy organic chocolate from Trader Joe’s while also stocking up on Kombucha (I have a love affair with GT Dave’s Kombucha). We then made a glorious visit to the beach, following in our tradition to touch the ocean whenever possible. But alas our return to MMC and the Redwood Forest was even more splendid. A homecoming of sorts to the ideals, values and nature we have grown to cherish.

Another super windy Zephyrhills day with a gorgeous sunset and the kiting of a base canopy to help pass the time beautifully! That and bury our compost in the forest.

Everyday I make an active choice to be conscious of my actions towards the Earth that nurtures and supports me. My husband and I actively compost, just…

The Eco-Wedding: saving the Earth, one vow at a time

Byskydiva August 10, 2008August 29, 2010

In my research, I have discovered that the average cost of a North American wedding is $27000. WOW! No wonder so many couples are eloping either locally or with an exotic destination in mind. Why pay such an exorbitant amount of money over 1 day when one can have a luxurious honeymoon on top of…

Healthy habits, healthy lifestyle

Byskydiva May 31, 2008July 3, 2010

What a week! I was sick as a dog with the stomach flu and didn’t feel like doing much of anything. Whether that involved eating, yoga, working or reading. Surprisingly, what did feel good were my shoulders! A week’s reprieve from strength yoga moves seemed to work wonders on their integrity and mobility. Now to…

In the Garden of Plenty

Byskydiva January 20, 2012May 28, 2013

Today was a day filled with wonder, weariness and a certain emotional level of self-discovery and challenge. A family member went in for a surgical procedure that had my senses wound up and on the brink of tears and worry. I was wishing that I could have physically been there to support them through their process….
