Good News Awakening Recently, a friend sent me to another place where I can find Good News. It is called Fix the News. I appreciate this site. I don’t listen to the regular news because it is too negative. (Remember the news motto is “if it bleeds, it leads!”) As a Reminder, here are the other Good News sites I have shared before, along with Fix the News.

Living in a Harmonious World
Last December, John and I enjoyed a mini holiday in Quebec City. It’s an absolutely beautiful town. While there, we decided to explore the Museum of Civilization and saw two fascinating exhibits. One is concerned with ecology and the environment, and the other with Hip Hop music. I learned a tremendous amount from both, but the one I want to explore this month is the one on ecology – Our Time on Earth. The Barbican, an arts, learning, and conference… Read more »

My tree that I did not see
Nature & Kindness Dear Readers, I hope this message finds you well and surrounded by the beauty of nature. As I settle into our new home, I’ve been fascinated by a magnificent Blue Spruce in our front yard that stands tall, embracing the essence of the great outdoors.

The Signature of all things – plants
The Signature of all things is all about plants From Gilbert’s website, the tag line for the book is: “A glorious, sweeping novel of desire, ambition, and the thirst for knowledge.” Sounds about right.

the Beauty of Nature
Welcome Spring and the Beauty of Nature In addition to welcoming Spring, several things came together for me last month. First, I began reading a book called Hagitude by Sharon Blackie. (Fascinating book. I will discuss it in more detail another time.) Then I started listening to a number of talks given by Charles Eisenstein on Sacred Economics, the Next Five Years, and How the Environmental Movement Can Find Its Way Again. These all spoke to me in different ways. The one… Read more »

In addition, it also got me to thinking why do we get so focused on spring and summer for gardening when it’s really a year-round event? Fall is the second busiest time for gardening The Toronto Botanical Gardens’ Blog What to Plant When… in Fall reminds us… Read more »
