Mother Love Is A Force Of Nature

August 25th, 2011 · No Comments · Design, Eco-Friendly, Environment, Family, Inspiration, Pollution, Sustainable Living

We launched! It’s been a busy time for the folks at Moms Clean Air Force. We’ve been writing, designing, developing, and finally launching a shiny new website! While I’ve been holed up with my computer for hours on end, the collaborative effort has been incredibly inspiring. Working with a team is something I’ve missed being [...]

Two Coasts, Wild Air

August 14th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Environment, Sustainable Living, Travel

Did I mention I recently spent a few weeks on Martha’s Vineyard? Probably not. I don’t like to advertise my comings and goings online until I’m safely tucked back into my nest. Last year, I summed up my beachy vacation in one word…Unplugged. It was an introspective post that was transformative in its theme. When [...]

Opening Up

“And the day came when the risk it took to remain closed in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anais Nin So, I’ve been writing these advocacy posts for the Environmental Defense Fund’s Moms Clean Air Force because I truly believe our families are at risk of losing [...]

The “Fab 3″: Photographers Make The Posts

April 19th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Art, Design, Inspiration

I want to share the work of three amazing photographers that allow me to post their images on Econesting. Did you know that Annie Leibovitz lives right near me? Well, she does, and I’ve had the privilege of gracing Annie’s home a few years ago when I picked my daughter up from babysitting her kids. [...]

An Armchair Creative

Do you read your horoscope? You don’t need to answer that. I believe many of us do and won’t admit it. I’ll confess to reading those snippets of monthly predictions, and of course at the time of the reading, my horoscope (Gemini) always seems spot on. Then I forget all about it and get on [...]

Anew: Clearing The Pipes

January 7th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Family, Holidays, Inspiration, Music

After a few days of family and self-imposed unplugged bliss (an absolutely scary state for a blogger) over the holidays, I’ve now been thrown in the other direction. I’m struggling to find my way back into the prolific writing groove that generally drives me. Maybe it was that exhaustive A-Z DIY Eco-Gift Guide which was so much [...]

Dreaming: Desire To Inspire

November 9th, 2010 · 3 Comments · decor, Design, Green Home

3 things I love about Desire To Inspire (besides the room porn above): 1. Desire to Inspire is run by two women who have never met. Well, they e-met on Flickr and shared bookmarked images. Kim lives in Canada, and Jo hails from Australia. The mission of these two design junkies is to inspire the [...]

One thing I learned early in my writing career was to record my thoughts immediately after an event – anything that could be deemed post-worthy. This is especially true for emotional subjects. Once the moment is passed, it no longer tugs. So, last week I wrote this post after my friends, Brad and Cindy came [...]
