So how EXACTLY does one 'Go Green?'

Well,
Now that I have started, there's nothing left to do but start writing posts right??
SO here goes...
I mentioned in my first post that my top three focuses in life at the moment are:
1: Going GREEN
2: Getting more crafty, and
3: Getting off my ba-donk-a-donk butt & get RUNNING!
Today, I will focus on Numero Uno. Number One. My big bee in my bonnet...
GOING GREEN!

So why blog about it??
Because I have no idea HOW I'm going to do this!
Usually, when I make a grand statement like " I'm Going Green" my first thought is
"Holy Moly....where on earth do I begin, there's so much I need to do!"
And then I think all kinds of things like
Now that I'm 'Green' do I have to turn off the heater?
Which is better...should I give up buying bottled water, or stop taking baths?
Ideally, I should do both..but I then I think of ALL the things I should do...
And then I get overwhelmed and do a big fat NOTHING!
And that's BAD, very BAD :(
I need to work out just how far I am prepared to go to be Green.

SO......

Where do I go to get solid information?
Information about PRACTICAL stuff, you know...stuff I can actually DO.
Stuff that won't take up hours & hours of my time, and stuff that ACTUALLY makes a difference.
You all know I LOVE to read. So throw em at me peeps...hit me with anything you may have read/watched/heard about that got YOU thinking about being more Green.
What have you seen/heard or read lately that motivated you (or even motivated you to think about getting motivated)
If you want to check out a few things I have read lately, you can go here, to check out a great resource.
And, you can go  here or here to read a couple blogs about minimalism...
Minimalism is what started my brain clogs turning over about all this in the first place. I think it is a really cool concept & something I'll be working towards.

But for now, lets start with what we already do....
My thoughts at the moment is that no effort is too small.. so let me know what it is YOU do.
What you do every day, some days, some weeks, or just once. I really want to know!
If we all do it...your little effort, will become a HUGE effort. And the world will be happier :)
And then I will be happier because I will be closer to my Number One Goal!!

Let me have it......

The beginning of a blog :)

So...
to begin a blog.... just start writing right??
Well, here I am, just me, writing for you. Or am I really writing for me? I think the latter is more to the point, but you might like to join me anyway?!

So, a bit of an outline...what will I be writing about?
All the many zillions of things that rush through my mind at any one point in time.
These range from

• What's for lunch?
• How can I pay off my debts faster?
• Why are some people STILL living in poverty?
• Did I decide on lunch yet?
• What else do I need to arrange for my wedding? (which is now only 4 months away)
• I should go for a run.... but I'll think about lunch first
• What book can I devour next?? HUGE BOOK NERD!
• How can I find the time to knit, crochet, garden, learn to sew, read all my 'to reads', and STILL go to work everyday?
• What can I eat now?
• How can I live my life more gently? More gentle to the planet, more gentle on my wallet, more gently in general?
• Why does the media always make us women feel like crap? And how can I be more inspiring to young women?
• Why do I keep BUYING stuff?? 
• Oohh, I love her shoes/dress/hair- whatever...
• Did I really just see young women in bikini's advertising coffee?? What The!!!
• Is it lunch time yet?
• What gig's on this weekend? LOVE live, aussie talent!

So... if any of these things also go through your mind...especially what you are going to have for lunch....

then please, lets chat :)

As you can tell...I have a million ideals, a million goals, a million dreams and a million projects unfinished. Hopefully this blog will help keep me on track with this a little bit?!

A few of my most important goals at the moment:

1. In the coming months I REALLY want to start living more GREEN!

2. I want to MINIMALISE the stuff in my home. Stop COMSUMING so darn much!

3. Learn to sew, crochet more, write more, bake more...just CREATE!

4. Run! Just run. Get off my butt & do it. Do it for health, do it for weight management, do it for charity,          whatever... JUST DO IT!

5. And of course...blog :)

So, want to be friends? I do :)
