Infinite Possiblities

Wow! Wow! Wow! This universe is such a beatiful peace (yes, punnfully placed) of orchestrated possibilities. When you are working for the betterment of the whole, it's like the sky's open up. I was seeing a vision of a KeysWide EcoWeek, but putting it off until 2011 because of it's magnitude (or my preception creating this feeling of magnitude). I am humming at incredible frequencies that are close to uphoria, total bliss, complacent, happiness. I feel my thoughts, my words and my deeds playing out before me. It's like I am watching a movie and in perfect harmony I coast from one scene to another as everyone co-mingles and co-creates together. There are many wonderful people on this planet that love this planet and want to help heal her. We heal ourselves in the process! Being able to work together for the common good of the whole. EcoWeek 2010 Florida Keys. We launch our kick-off party on Wednesday night in the Upper Keys at 6:30 at Amoray Dive Resort, www.amoray.com. There are limited spaces, so you must email to ecoweek2010@comcast.net to reserve your spot! On Thursday night we hope to be at LeighAnn's Coffee House for the Middle Keys and Friday night we are in Key West at Help Yourself, www.helpyourselffoods.com for the Lower Keys Kick Off! We have two weeks to pull our ideas, our community and our evvironmental passions together and put it on paper for the TDC. All 5 of our District Advisory Councils will have the application to consider. We want to make special thanks to Richard Stewart of Ocean Realm Media, www.oceanrealmjournal.com and EcoGuides, www.ecoguides.info, and for bringing here the EcoGuide Florida Keys. Without your presence, these chain of events would not have come to be. Each one of us are a catalyst. We are co-creating together. When we are true to ourselves and to this planet, we are in harmony. Harmony is a state of being. "Outer peace is an Inside Job", Kelly Hostetler, www.spiritdanceart.com. Kelly has created this amazing logo for EcoWeek. We are unveiling it tomorrow night. He is sooo talented! He is an amazing painter, philsopher and writer, and he does phenomenal things with photoshop. I am happy that he is being involved and wants to be! Not just because he is there by default. He believes as I believe so we share a common vision of peace, harmony, sustainablity and higher consciousness. It is nice to have a partner that is on the same frequency.

Tomorrow is a new day with infinite possibilites unfolding before me. I am going with the flow, following my instincts and staying true to myself. What a fun ride!

The planning process

Michele and I are working....working?....together tonight on Eco-Week 2010. I am so happy that Michele and I are working together again. We flow together so easily. We really thrive off each other. Inspiration at it's finest. Creativity flowing!!! Go GREEN!!! She is so amazing. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people. We are even working on making this a Carbon Neutral Event! SO FUN!!!!

I am missing my compost toliet on the boat. We had to give it back to Bob and Jane. It was so cool that they gave us their brand new one to try to see if we liked it or not. I loved it. I bet Kelly loved it more because we went two weeks without having to dump it! Our portapoti we (Kelly...Thank you Kelly) dump it almost two times a week. I miss sitting outside over looking the water and the mangroves, letting my body work through it's cycle. MMMmmmm..........

I am speaking tomorrow night at Keys to Peace Montessori in Tavernier. Eat, Move and Be Healthy. This is based on my training as a CHEK certified Nutrition and Holistic Lifestyle Coach. www.chekinstitute.com. Learning how to lose weight and be healthy easily, and supporting a healthy environment all at once!

To be that easy

Can it really be that easy? Can life just unfold and be in harmony? Yes. When we allow it. It sounds so easy to do, but how often do we mind f**k ourselves? Kelly just wrote a poem about it being that easy. As he is learning through himself, and I am learning through myself, we are learning together about what works for us and how it works and the ways that we make it "uneasy" and then the ways that we make it easy. I like the easy way. I like things to flow. If something isn't flowing smoothly, then something has to change. I am going for an attitude adjustment right now. Off to the floating house to take a mid-day nap, or maybe a swim. We'll see what the universe has in store for me!

Always changing

There is one thing that is constant...that there is always change. Forever is a very strong word. I am realizing that you cannot be attached to a concept or belief of something being forever. When you have that attachment, that means you are holding on to something that may not be there and you may be forcing or trying to control the hands of destiny. The Universe has it's plan for us and we may be able to influence that plan with intention, but you are not the only player in your destiny. Others in your existence may have a different path and you just may be a pawn in their journey. One thing I do know...is that I don't know! I am okay with that. Life is an exciting adventure. You must always make sure that you are following your bliss. Your happiness is your natural state of being. When you are unhappy, something is leading you astray. Find your happiness and you will find your way.

Eco-Week 2010

There are so many amazing things that happen in my life. When everything starts unfolding in front of you, you really have to take a step back, take a deep breath and say, "I am READY!". I am notorious for having a lot going on. I am always every where, being involved in everything. But, what I have really been doing, is just finding out exactly where and what I want to be doing. Right now all the things that I have passions for in my life are coming together and melding together so perfectly that I feel that I am not "working" at all. I am having fun while I am doing it! My desire to promote the importance of our environment has been handed to me on a silver platter with the EcoGuide Florida Keys because this publication is really just a tangible piece of a whole movement. I have been enveloped into this moment and I am pulling together our community for the good of the whole. We are creating EcoWeek 2010, an Annual Celebration of the Environment. This inagural event will bring everyone together to promote and celebrate our beautiful environment and the fun we have in it while being conscious and aware of our actions. We are becoming the Green Model for Florida, and maybe even the rest of the nation. Thank you Universe for your abundance of health, wealth and happiness.

Eco-Guide of the Florida Keys

I have been so fortunate to have met Richard Stewart, Editor of Ocean Realm Eco-Destinations and the publisher of the Eco-Guides. This man is amazing. He has been promoting sustainable eco-tourism to save our planet for many years. He was brought to the keys under the guidance of our Tourist Development Council (thank you TDC and Stacy Mitchell!!!). This printed and online publication educates our locals and our visitors alike on the preciousness of our environment. This guide connects us globally to reach potential visitors and relocators. He also has an online radio show! His business partner Ken, joined Richard and I at the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Ken has an online blog talk radio show on Wednesday at 1pm called Liquid Lounge. He used that time to talk to some of our business owners as to what they are doing to be GREEN!!! YEAH! Support the green movement! Go to http://ecoguides.info/floridakeys.htm to hear the show. That also takes you to the home page of the Eco-Guide Florida Keys where I am now the Regional Publisher. I don't think Richard really knows what he just himself into asking me to be Regional Publisher! He better hang on! ha! ha!

Back in the Saddle

Yes, yes, yes. Back in the saddle again. Blogging away like I have never been gone. Looking at my last entry makes me laugh. Lots has changed since then. Yet, another boyfriend. THIS TIME IS FOREVER!!! I have been looking for mr. right for me. Mr Senstive. Mr. easy to communicate his feelings. Mr. Trustworthy. Mr. Spirituality. Mr. Adventurer. Mr. Mom (yes, must want kids and wouldn't mind being at home with them!). Mr. Christi supporter. Mr. Community supporter. Mr. Athlete. Mr. Healthy. Mr. Compassionate. Mr. Teacher and Mr. Student. Okay, I hear you. Do I really need ALL those Misters? NOOOOOO.....because I have found all of that rolled up into one. Kelly Hostetler of Spirit Dance Art is an amazing creature with so much love, compassion, and talent. Finding someone who speaks your language and shares the same visions, understandings and lifestyle habits is such a wonderful blessing. I am truely blessed.

Blessed is an understatement! I live on a boat now. Talk about learning about CONSERVATION! I am living my dream of being GREEN!!! Solar panels, wind generator, harvesting rain water, and more to come! We are looking into getting a compost toliet! I will keep you posted on how that goes!

I am in a very happy and healthy relationship. Kelly hasn't eaten red meat in over 30 years. Dairy is VERY low on the list of foods that he eats. He doesn't have a taste for alcohol so much any more. He is a healthy eater filling himself with loads of fruits and vegetables. For someone at 55 years of age, he is in better shape than I have seen men 30 years younger. I look better because of it too! His lifestyle makes it easier for me to stay lean. No bottles of wine at night with dinner. No heavy meals with read meat and dairy. I have been told that I look as lean as when I was bodybuilding! I have lost 8 pounds in the last 6 months. My last relationship had much different (completely opposite) eating habits. It didn't take long for the extra fat to creep over my muscle structure because of all the excess toxins running through me.

Every relationship that you are in, whether its a friend, co-worker, associate, mother, father, brother or lover, you learn from each other. These relationships are mirrors of ourselves. The mirror that I am looking into makes me smile. Damn, I look good! And I feel good too!!! My Nutrition and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching has been helping many others look and feel their best too. I love sharing the love!

Stay tuned for more coming soon!
