The Green Women Leadership comprises of 13 women from across the United States. This leadership program was birthed from the organization Healthy Women Healthy Earth formed by Helene and Dave Van Manen based in Colorado. The mission of Healthy Women Healthy Earth is to support and empower women to take charge of their personal health, teach and promote, self-care, healthy lifestyles and connection to Mother Earth. WHY? There are more women than men in the United States and women live longer than men. The world is in crisis and needs women to rise up to lead, to teach, to create, to be empowered and fully engaged to find solutions for the challenges that our planet, our nation and our communities are facing.

We Green Women hold our monthly calls from Fall to Spring. The summer is a time for vacations and getting close to Nature. However, the Green Women Podcast will stay consistent with its weekly schedule. We showed up for many discussions about climate crisis, consumerism, gratitude, the fashion industry, decluttering, nonprofits, the status of our food industry, sustainable agriculture, and processed foods laden with so many chemicals making us sick as well as our planet. Our monthly calls will return in the Fall of 2023. I hope you can join us.

We talk so much about pollution in our environment, water, the air we breathe, but what about the INDOOR AIR we breathe? So many people live in their homes all year round with the windows shut for air conditioning in the Summer and the furnaces running to heat us in the winter. But little is talked about on how to create clean air especially in our homes. Have you ever considered PLANTS for removing the toxins in our indoor air? In addition, plants are very therapeutic!

The Laws of Nature is how we truly are to live our lives on Earth. With every season comes a new set of rules that we need to live within the parameters of Earth.

I don't know about you, but since we changed the clocks to Daylight Savings Time, my sleep has been compromised and feeling groggy. I usually enjoy waking up to the sun just coming up over the horizon and the tree tops. Watching the birds and the deer starting to move about. It is my best time to do my meditations, then off to exercise. It is a time I feel so aligned with my circadian rhythm which sets my day. This is the way it suppose to be. If you look at the expert consensus from the scientific societies that focus on sleep, health and circadian rhythms, all of them agree - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS A BAD IDEA!

While I was on vacation and then got a cold with a cough, I read a book titled "DIRT - a love story". It is a book of essays regarding one of our basic needs - the human connection to dirt/soil. The Earth's soil is LIFE for us humans. But we are NOT doing such a good job of taking care of of our soil. It is a basic need for everything we need and do for our bodies and our brains. I hope you enjoy this one essay of the many in the book.

Older Americans are one of the fastest-growing demographics in the country. Also, the American Society on Aging states "Healthcare is a Hot Issue at the Ballot Box this November". This year's Midterm Election will shape the future of healthcare for older Americans and their families at the state and Federal levels. Also, the World Health Organization also states: "The world's population is rapidly aging and Healthy Aging involves all levels and sectors of government". So we MUST get out and VOTE next Tuesday, November 8th as our population is growing around the world as we are aging and changing also.

So I hope you join me in a reading that has been floating around this Summer called "Humanity can't equivocate any longer." This is a climate emergency! by Rebecca Solnit and Terry Tempest Williams. I felt this article was a definite eye opener!

What do poems, quotes, or essays do for you? These writings are a form of art and are creative. Human feelings are also expressed in the types of writings. For now, I find my expression of feelings in writing in my journal. Yes, journalling is also a form of art and creativity and it also tells a story. So as Martin Luther stated "If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write".

What is curiosity and is it important? As a child and as a grown-up today, I am always asking questions about how the world and life works. But when I was younger my dad always said "just do what I tell you. " That didn't sit well with me and now I have realized that my younger years were not fulfilled. I am curious about something everyday. Even the podcasts that I do are usually done on a subject matter that I am curious about. It is that "feel good" emotion.
I hope you have much curiosity in your life!

When journalling the other day, I had many thoughts about "Why the Pandemic?" Maybe pandemics happen as a shift in our world to clean up the mess we have created on Earth. Here is a great poem I recited in the podcast that may help cope with the pandemic from Amber "V" Moonstone.
The Flow of Life's Energy
Working with the flow of Life's energy and not clinging to our old ways, serves as a vessel to being aware that there is an energy larger than ourselves. It means that we are open to many ways of enjoying our life's journey. It may mean changing our destination, for the moment but always remembering our goals.
Letting fear get in the way causes us to cling to the old ways that aren't working, hindering growth and positive energy flow. Find your energy flow, let yourself go without fear, do not resist change. Be open to what life has to offer. Let the current take you, be confident that the Universe will provide. Breathe in positive energy, and go with the flow of your Life's energy!!!

Do we need it or do we just want it? That is the question. We don't stop to think of how our overconsumption is effecting our personal health, the health of the our society and the health of our planet. All this overconsumption has gotten us stuck and by removing the "things" or "stuff" that is really not needed in our lives will free up space which in turns free yourself and your world. We then become a society of healing ourselves which in turns heals the planet.

In about a month Christmas and other Festive Holidays will be upon us. And what does that mean...it is the Holiday of giving which is good, but giving of what? At this time of year there is a surge of plastics being purchased in the form of toys, household items, games and the lists goes on. We need to change our thinking and behaviors to shop for more eco-friendly, sustainable, earth conscious products. All this plastic is damaging for all inhabitants of the Earth as well as our waterways, the oceans, rivers, our soil, and Mother Earth herself.

As we come to a close on the year 2020, I would like to thank You, the listeners of the Green Women Podcast. Many of us Green Women have been preparing by taking a personal retreat day just for ourselves. Which can include, meditation, journalling, walking/hiking, learning and eating healthy foods and the list goes on. The purpose is to set our intention(s) for the upcoming New Year of 2021. And we do that by asking ourselves questions. This episode will give you three questions for couples and three questions for singles to help you set an intention for the new year. Have a Healthy & Happy New Year!

Do you want to learn how kids learn in a school classroom that is outside in Nature? Listen to Tami Montoya, director/teacher/and cofounder of the Earthkeeper Nature School. The school was founded 3 years ago near the banks of the Arkansas River in Pueblo, Colorado. She collaborated with Dave Van Manen, Environmentalist Educator, who is dedicated to supporting eco literacy and nurturing a connection to Nature.
The Winter Solstice is a magical and has many meanings for us. Many messages that come throughout history are The Darkness, The Light, The Season of Hibernation. It is also a sacred time for the "birth of the sun", renewal, rest, reflection, stillness, peace, or connecting with the Divine Feminine. New dreams, ideas, hopes, are born within us. A time for reflection, going inward, nourishing our souls, body and mind.
There are many women and moms these days that live a Green Life. Getting out in Nature, eating healthy, exercising, walking more outside and even more women's groups that are hiking. So what is a Green Grandmother and how does she interact with her grandchildren. I know my living as a Green Grandmother myself is so different than my grandmother's era or even my mother's. Helene Van Manen is my guest as she has created for herself a "green grandmother personna" that has delighted her grandchildren since they have been little.

As stated in the book of Life Prayers reads..."Human civilization itself is going through a dark night of the soul."

We are living in tough times now. Rising COVID-19 cases globally, post-presidential election issues in the U.S., climate change, etc. In Episode 10 of the Green Women Podcast I spoke about many of my mother's life adversities and how she gained resiliency in her life. I believe that my mom's resiliency showed her children how to gain resiliency for the challenges that her children had to go through in their lives. Now I am telling you my story and how I developed to be resilient in the face of life's challenges in my life. Remember:
"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent,
but the ones most resilient and responsive to change." - Darwin
In the midst of a the COVID-19 Pandemic and the recent rising of COVID cases in the United States as well as the rest of the world, the cold & flu season, our changing climate, wildfires and a major United States Presidential election - how does RESILIENCY fit into all of this. It is a matter of survival!
We are beginning our Year 2 of the Green Women Leadership organization. As we Green Women are diving deeper into our purpose and cause, I would like to share with you a little bit more of who we are and where we are going in year two.

Green Women Retreat in August as one of our yearly self-care practices. I wanted to highlight this activity because it is so important for our overall health. As many of the Green Women are retreat coaches, August is a time to go on a retreat for ourselves. But with the COVID-19 Pandemic and all the social unrest in the world, it is limiting us to do so. It is my hope to give you some ideas for your own personal retreat. I also want to remind everyone not to let the Pandemic or the social unrest cloud our responsibilities to continue to protect our environment and climate change. Below is the list of the books I mentioned.

So they can mature as a Green Women, to live and teach others to utilize Nature's gifts of healing to achieve balance and optimal wellness for themselves as well as for our planet, Mother Earth.

As Green Women, we are concerned with healthy living, women issues, self-care practices, nature healing, the environment & climate change, sacred social activism and much more.
