CLEAN!






I often speak about the amazing treasures that find their way to Stuart Recycling. Brass engraved flatware, various Ganesh statues and now the newest.......engraved enameled elephant statues!

2 of the statues are trunk up & one has a more natural stance w/the trunk relaxed down. With research I have learned that the trunk up is inviting luck and trunk down is giving luck.

Just like everything else in this world there are 3 sides to every story! I have chosen to believe this explanation.

I am always the person to say that everything happens for a reason. I have a feeling that these are gifts with little messages and if nothing else I feel lucky to be surrounded by these beautiful objects!

So.....it has been a WHILE since I have picked up a book and been hooked.....the last one being The Skinny Bitch which over night changed my life forever. I, like the rest of the world, are reading CLEAN. It is an educational read which inspires me and at the time depresses me.

I love where I live and at the same time have always felt limited by what it has to offer. Such is life and I have to make the most of it....but.....I do want to make it better if I can.

This book lays out all of my frustrations with the world and at the same time makes me realize that most of these things we have no control over. I like to joke about dropping off the "grid" and growing my own food and starting a yoga hippie commune.....can't I do this? Why not? Oh....right....the rest of my family and my life as a contributing citizen. hmmmmmm

This year for my 30th Bday....yes 30! Josh and I are going to Portland Oregon. The utopia of green living and the lifestyle I dream of one day having! When we arrive back we will CLEAN!

cleanse body, intention, and habits that are dragging us into the unhealthy hamster wheel of life.

cleanse.
