A Co-Operator's Garden

My Grandfather, Rev. Chauncey J. Pobanz, had thoughts that are still applicable in today's world. I found today's post in his notebook: "Poems & Sayings", this one with author unknown.

"A Co-Operator's Garden"

First, plant five rows of "p's"...

• Presence
• Promptness
• Preparation
• Perseverance
• Purity

Next, plant three rows of squash...

• Squash gossip
• Squash indifference
• Squash unjust criticism

Then plant five rows of lettuce...

• Let us be faithful to duty.
• Let us be unselfish and loyal.
• Let us be true to our obligations.
• Let us obey the rules and regulations.
• Let us love one another.

No garden is complete without turnips...

• Turn up for meetings.
• Turn up with a smile.
• Turn up with new ideas.
• Turn up with new members.
• Turn up with determinations to make everything count for something good and worthwhile.

Earth Day is Every Day

Today I am hoping that it does not rain, so I can visit Crandon Park on Key Biscayne for the Earth Day Event.  April is the month of celebrating Earth day - and this month you will find a 4 part series on Feng Shui in Your Garden on my weekly podcast Feng Shui 4 Empowered Living on http://www.energyofthespirit.com/


Extend Earth day ideas and Join Me in Hawaii July 19 - 28, 2010 for Hawaii Women's Wellness Retreat: Transformation through Connections. Picture yourself vacationing in a luxury home on Hawaii's Big Island beach with breezes fanning you as you lay by the pool or sit in the hot tub. You can be part of a special 9 day vacation of successful community living in Paradise this summer. I'll be joining Kathleen McGinley, Certified Wellness Life-Strategies Coach, Ho'oponopono Practitioner and organizer of this fabulous retreat that will change your life - now in it's 5th year. There are only 5 spots left and I know this is the trip you have been waiting for! Don't delay, check out the itinerary http://tinyurl.com/yzek7cl and then Sign Up http://www.phoenixadventure.com/workshops.html today!

Even though we celebrate Earth Day in April, EVERY day is Earth Day. Some people try to do something as simple as use tea towels instead of paper towels, grow a few vegetables in their back yard or porch, or commit to saving energy wherever they can. Others commit their entire life to it. Join me in Hawaii this summer,July 19-28, as we learn about how to incorporate healthy, harmonious living into our lives. We will tour Pangaia http://www.pangaia.cc/ an ecological, self-sustaining community with tropical permaculture where we will learn how every day is Earth Day for the residents of this unique community.
Step outside your box.  Learn how you can make Earth Day an Every Day occurance on the Big Island of Hawaii!
