Is your business card enough or is it time for you to get real with a website?

Twenty years ago you couldn't be in business, and be taken seriously, without having a crisp stack of your own business cards in your wallet ready to hand out.

Some major accomplishments were had last month during 🌍

1. I learned to bring my own containers to the store. No more having to transfer my wild rice from those flimsy plastic bags into a jar and risk spilling rice everywhere. Now it’s already in my jar! And no more stinky chicken wax paper leaking in my garbage! This was the easiest change and most notable. I think what was most exciting about this switch was turning heads at the store. People actually THANKED me for saving the environment, and congratulated me for not using any plastic. This alone made me feel like I AM making a difference! 😍

2. I learned to make corn tortillas. This is a big deal because John eats these all the time and they come in plastic bags and half the time they were moldy. Now they are fresh and taste sooo much better than store bought.

3. I was able to get my CSA off of using plastic packaging! This is HUGE because they have about 100 people every week picking up their share. With 2-3 bags of plastic every week that’s almost 300 bags of plastic A WEEK! Now everyone uses their own little bags to collect the smaller items and the farm leaves out a scale for us to weigh out our portion.

4. I met a sweet local woman who grows strawberries and raspberries! I love my berries and had no idea how I would survive without these (they’re always sold in plastic at the store)! Now when I get my weekly CSA pickup, I swing by her little farm and get a big bowl of berries and bonus: she gave me basil and mint too (two other things packaged in plastic at the store)!!!

5. I have successfully switched to using a shampoo bar and soap bar. It took about 2 weeks for my greasy hair to get used to the change but I LOVE IT! I gotta say, not having bottled advertising all over my house is almost therapeutic!

In all, I would say this July was a life changer and I’m so grateful to learn about our impact on the environment and how all of us can DO BETTER to make a change and say no to plastic. Try it out. It feels good. 😊

I’m just gonna brag real quick about how grateful I am. Proud of the person I have become and the place I call home. ✌🏻

You really can’t take a bad picture of the Maroon Bells. The avalanches from this winter have changed the landscape but only adds to the wildness and beauty of this area. Much respect to the strength of Mother Nature.

I have recently started following Sedona Christina and I am loving her advice for a more waste free lifestyle (thanks Brittney). Her post about mindful social media use is so important. I often find myself unintentionally scrolling instagram and facebook when I want to escape the boring times throughout the day. Whether you see this post as you are mindlessly (or mindfully) scrolling, take a minute to check in with your intentions and how you can be more present with this moment and your social media use.

Mindful Social Media Usage I think there is nothing more special than learning to listen to ourselves. Learning to grow alongside ourselves, trusting ourselves, and not letting the voices of others get into our heads. HOWEVER, something I've been thinking about this week, is how crucial it is to lis...

The creative process can build you up and tear you down. Learning to love it and not control it has been an ongoing battle for me. My friend Woo puts this into terms that doesn't make you feel so crazy after all.

In so many ways, following through on a creative project teaches a radical level of mindfulness and self-compassion, as well as the grace of ruthless, unconditional forgiveness. The creative process instills a remarkable ability to not only tolerate ambiguity and anxiety, but to accept, embrace, and...

Our first week in our new home ♥️ we had snow, wind, rain, sun, deer, chipmunks, and the fun stuff like water leaks and sore backs. Couldn’t be happier. ✌🏻 @ Snowmass, Colorado

The rules in which we live are not necessarily true to us - they are just things. Create your own thing!
