I am flying!!!!
My inbox is FULL!!!!! And that’s a FABULOUS thing as it says to me that more and more people are interacting with green smoothies and good fun! And thank you to everyone who is writing in to me and joining to support me for the next 21-Day Green Smoothie Detox.
Every few minutes I feel more excitement building and see good things happening. When I returned to Diva-land on Monday, I was thrilled when Tera announced that we met our BiG objective of raising $10 000 for the Lower East Side Girls Club! Today will be the final day that we’ll be collecting last minute donations, but Tera has generously decided to make all the BiG calls available until next year’s International Green Smoothie Day.
Wait until you see ALL the incredible stories, challenges, recipes, and green smoothie events people shared for the BiG contests!!! Read the rest of this entry »

The stories and comments we’ve had coming in for our BiG Believe in Green challenge are enough to make you jump for choy. Bobbi sent in a story that we’ll be entering into our BiG story contest, and we thought we’d share it with you now. We’re still working towards and getting ever closer to our $10 000 goal for The Girls’ Club, but we haven’t quite got there yet. If you sign up today you can still get in on all the calls, downloads, recipes, and the chance to win a $400 Blendtec blender!
One of the rewarding results is that many are realizing how possible, how doable it is to make changes and a difference. Not even location is an excuse as you’ll find out from Bobbi who lives almost 800 km and 10 hours north of the city of Winnipeg where I live in the province of Manitoba (hehe… and even with all that distance, we STILL figured out we know at least one person in common… like Tera says, “we really are all connected!”). But I’ll let Bobbi tell you about how *she* is finding ways to go green up north and what amazing changes green smoothies have made!
Dear Tera,
My name is Bobbi and I live in Northern Manitoba on a beautiful lake, one hour from Thompson. I have a husband and three children - Ian (7), Aaron (4), and Rya (2). I am a school teacher and I will be teaching music this coming year. I’ve been off since the end of June with them and I have about 2 and 1/2 weeks left, till school starts. I’ve really enjoyed this BiG Green Smoothie challenge. Read the rest of this entry »

Where do I start today?
I suppose by putting down the soggy tissue I’m holding and adding it to the pile of other soggy tissues that seem to have accumulated since listening to Tera’s BiG call with Julia Butterfly Hill, our BiG speaker who dedicated two years of her life to protecting the Redwoods she loves.
Does it happen to you?
Do you ever get inspired so much that you commit to doing something you’re not sure you can do? Something so BiG, you may need help? Read the rest of this entry »

Sounds like a threat, eh?
No… we haven’t suffered a serious math injury around here. Our arithmetic is still ticking. Nor have I gone mad… (not counting the loose screw in my knee, of course). I’m just a green-smoothie luvin’ gal on a mission.
I started asking myself what more *I* could do to help raise $10 000 for The Lower East Side Girls Club and our International Green Smoothie Day BiG Event.
How could I use my skills to create more value, more incentive, and add more enjoyment to this experience? I needed to do the right twang.

Our BiG event is underway and we’re still working hard to reach out and make our goal of raising $10 000 for The Lower East Side Girls Club. We’ve decided to keep the event open until we reach that goal! We’re determined that at least 100 girls from the Lower East Side will have a choice this year… that 100 girls will be able to learn about smoothies, eco-living, and self-empowerment rather than joining many who find themselves stuck in the traps of junk food, poverty, and self-defeat.
We’re going to need help to make that difference in those lives. All it takes is $10. And we know we can. We already KNOW what a difference just adding green smoothies for 10 days can make. It’s not about being perfect… it’s about doing things differently and with more goodness. We’d love to share a letter that came to us recently from a 10-Day green smoothie challenger. Find out the difference that greens made for Marie-Eve! Read the rest of this entry »

As we lead up to our BiG, Believe in Green event on International Green Smoothie Day, August 15th, we’re going to bring you some great articles from the net on how you can find simple ways to change your everyday eco-relationship with the planet. If you haven’t joined the 10-Day Charity Challenge, now’s your chance to think BiG!
Many of us want to be responsible citizens of the Earth. We think about the effects our lifestyles have on the environment. We are concerned about global warming. We want to ensure our children’s future on this planet is one that still has clean air to breathe, an abundance of trees and wildlife, and clean water to drink. However, many of us also think that the sacrifices might be too great to “go green” in our own office. Good news. It’s not as difficult as you think. Read the rest of this entry »

Ahh… The air is filled with the smells of the season…and dryer sheets
Our rich Aunt Regina’s clothes were always the latest things from the top fashion designers. She explained her philosophy as follows: “If it’s expensive and ugly, it’s for me.”
Most of us poorer folk wear more normal clothes, and whether they’re a sight to make eyes sore or not, when we’re done wearing them, they get washed and dried. We put the clothes in the washer, then we put the clothes in the dryer, then we throw a dryer sheet in after them. It’s the way it’s done. Some people also use liquid fabric softener in the wash cycle. All this softening and sweetening is part of Better Living Through Chemistry. Or is it? Read the rest of this entry »

You know that feeling… the one you get when you’ve just done something good? Where a choice had no down side? Where something you do for yourself has positive, valuable ripple effects for other people?
It kinda starts in your chest and then creeps into your throat, all the while expanding, bubbling, blossoming… and that feeling bursts into a grin, and if you’re a big ol’ softy like me, you feel your eyes glass up with even more joy because you can’t help but see the good, and there’s some kinda self-satisfying humbling glee in being part of something bigger than yourself.
It just. feels. soooo. good!
That’s how I’m feeling these days leading up to BiG!
I love that feeling… and it’s one worth sharing! And I challenge YOU to join me in the joy bubble! So here are 10 reasons for you to consider… pick your joy, any joy, and become part of something BiG! Read the rest of this entry »

August can bring waves of sweltering temperatures and temperaments. But rather than resist the rising mercury gauge, Catherine has some suggestions for you to let go and embrace the benefits of summer and uh…
womanly freedom. Read the rest of this entry »
