Ok, dear readers, here is one of the fundamental reasons why I started writing this blog - to find out what other folks are doing in their own lives to save money and the planet.
My parents were creative, adventurous and ...not destitute, but not rich either. Dad was a teacher and mom was an artist/Jill-of-all-trades. While we didn't have much extra money, there were always rich experiences to be had - camping in the woods over spring break, weeding the vegetables, feeding our bunny, picking raspberries, reading and playing games through the long, rainy Oregon weather...life was full! We recycled scraps of fabric from mom's sewing projects into bookmarks which my brother sold at school, my parents traded fresh herbs with the local Italian restaurant for discounts, my dad helped a friend with some work on their property in exchange for a huge jar of honey from their hive. I feel really grateful looking back on my childhood because I learned so much from my parents. Not only how to make the most of what you have, but the importance of working with others to make everyones lives a little better.
So now it's my turn - how can we help each other out here in cyberspace? I can't come over and bake you a pie in exchange for some accounting work (or can I?) - but I want to start trading information to get us all inspired to live well, take care of each other, ourselves and this beautiful ball we all live on.
So, What do YOU do?

Besides starting a blog such as this?
Well...
Perhaps embark upon a project that presents a rethinking or rather first time thinking about a practice, approach or subject that could potentially be of great benefit.
Ya know, kinda like the "Placenta Project".
And most profoundly...
Live it...
