Fresh Living

Sometimes the two of us just get a’chattin’ on instant messenger, and we think, we should talk like this on Fresh Living!  So…..welcome to our afternoon chitty chat, which we hope you pull up a chair to and add your thoughts into the combox.  Holly: hey–this morning in the meeting you said something i’ve been…

“When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it’s bottomless, that it doesn’t have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.” – Pema Chödrön [Image…

After I posted Monday about how to chase away bad dreams, Valerie sent me this apt, playful spin on a Native American dream catcher, posted via the super design blog swissmiss. “If Native Americans worried about spam…” is the tagline they gave it, and to me it says everything about how we hold bad things…

With the start of a new year, we thought it’d be fun to do a pretty round-up of birthstones. There’s no law that says you can’t wear a gemstone that isn’t “yours,” so you can enjoy hearing about the qualities of them all–see what they mean, what they do, and how they can heal.

The trick to eating greens every day is to vary the manner in which you eat them so you don't feel like a rabbit, but you get all your green goodness. Here's my dinner plan for this week.

Bram Stoker (you know, the author of Dracula), once said, “How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads. To whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.”  I wish I were among those people–although I’m not sure such folk actually exist, at least not every…

That’s “Happy New Year!” in Hawaiian. I used to live in Hawaii and that melifluous greeting flows back into my brain this time of year. Hawaiians once celebrated “Makahiki” (mah-kah-HEE- kee), an ancient tradition in Decemberish devoted to thanking the earth for its bounty. According to an article on About.com, they rested, feasted, and put…
