Here is a short list of the people who support my blogging life:
1. My wonderful, creative partner and husband, Chris
2. My beautiful friend, Jen
3. My friend, whom I have never met,but who inspires me daily, Bo
I have two blogs. My personal/daily creative blog, organicsyes and this blog, miorganicsyes. Each serves a different purpose, but I continue to wonder how they intertwine and connect.
Who supports your blogging?
While I would like to visit and learn more, I always learn a great deal when I go to the Organic Consumer Association web site.
Take a visit and let me know what you think!
Another site I visit often is the West Michigan Land Conservancy:
…to keep nature nearby…
Do you ever wonder about the process it takes to create your skin care products?
This post is so important to me. I began this blog to promote the miessence® products that I use and love. However, I continue to ask myself, “why this blog? why this topic? ”
Here is what I reflect upon most often when questioning the reasons why I wish to post to this blog each day:
I find that this blog allows me to really look at the reasons why I have chosen to be an Independent Representative for ONE Group. I have to research, write, and really know why it is I promote products that support a sustainable and ethical lifestyle. This is important to me, as I wish to build an ethical business.
Posting each day with a purpose allows me to really reflect on why I have this blog. It is a good feeling to know that others, too, may benefit from my time and efforts to learn about the process of organic skin care, safe ingredients and ethical business practices.
Here is the list of 10 things that are important to me. I have decided to link each one to a past blog post or a website that supports my work.
1. My family
2. Nature
3. Yoga
4. Education
5. Singing
6. Reading
7. Connections/working with others
8. Journaling/writing
9. organics/sustainablitily
10. Health
What is your list of 10 important things?

I love how this white pine is growing out of an old stump…is it a new shoot off of the old tree? Or, was it planted in nature from elsewhere?
Either way, the regeneration of nature fascinates me. Humans taking notice of the need for sustainabilty, giving back, and re-generating is a valuable value for me.
I am making this connection to support the miessence® products I use with my family. The miessence® mission supports the need to “give-back” and this further supports my joy in using these products.
I have created this blog to support my goals as an independent rep for ONE Group. I continue to look at the reasons “why” I use these products and how I can impact my life as an ethical business woman. I am exploring the ways nature connects to my life and business.
So I went visiting. I began at the Groovy Green blog and discovered lunch bags…something that I really am looking for as I pack lunches for myself and the family! This was exciting!
Then, I decided to see if the miessence products I use are also listed in this blog…Yes they are! The miessence products were reviewed back in 2007. The representatives that were the contact are two wonderful people. I actually had the opportunity to meet one of them, Summer, at the recent ONE Group conference!
Blogging truly brings us together…and allows for greater and greater learning!
Who’s blog did you visit today?
Michael Pollan’s site
I have been thinking a lot about the food I eat (and feed my family) and the products I put on my skin (and share with my family).
These two areas connect and inter-connect in my mind quite often. There have been many changes I have made over the years to bring in food and products that contribute to a sustainable way of life. This is a BIG job…and I must say, I still have much to learn.
I came across this article by Michale Pollan today.

This quote stood out to me:
“The sun-food agenda must include programs to train a new generation of farmers and then help put them on the land.” -Michael Pollan
The hope that stays in my heart, knowing that the sun is there, warming and life giving, allows me to keep learning about growing my own food, purchasing food that is nurtured by sustainable farming techniques, and to take the time to connect locally when I can.
This article goes very deeply into the way we grow our food in the US. It gives me pause, and causes me to think about how I can, as one person, contribute to the changes necessary to support sustainability. Sharing with others is a start.
What have you read lately that got you thinking?
Taking a moment to say thank you to Anne and Arun. A very busy couple dedicated to an organic lifestyle and nurturing their beautiful children.
Anne and Arun have supported me as I journey through a world of creating my own business. I have learned much about computer connections, coaching, and being a support to others. They are open with the information they share, giving tips for marketing, and they always bring me back to the goals I set forth as I began this journey.
It is wonderful to have such support as we venture forth in new areas. Education and growth continue to be important to me and I thank Anne and Arun for being there to answer questions and give valued advice.
Who are you thankful for as you journey forward?
Posting for 30 days on the 30 Days of Blogging site.
Take a moment to watch this video of Narelle Chenery, creator of miessence certified organic skin care products.
A wonderful way to cleanse, detoxity and nurture your skin…pure, organic, miessence!
