Have you felt anxious about saving the planet? You want to do all possible things that help save the planet; recycling, buying organic products, making compost, using renewable energy, etc. But, you cannot do it all; therefore you start to feel bad and inefficient because the consequences of your actions make the planet be in peril. Let me give you an advice. For instance, the other day I was feeling stressed about using plastic bags for my groceries but suddenly it occurred to me to go walking to the Walt-Mart buy the reusable bags, neither plastic nor paper, buy my groceries and come back walking to my home. It was a fifteen minutes walk. I felt so invigorated with the walk that I start to thing positive about every thing. I started thinking that I was superman saving the world because with the walk for my groceries in my reusable bags I was exercising myself, I was not contaminating by not using the car and also I was using my reusable groceries-bags. The point is that you have to start some how thinking about all positives outcomes that come from your pro-green actions and intentions as little as they are. Keep up your good actions and persuade others to do more for the planet. When all together do little by little we are in the road to help save planet earth. I hope this advice can alleviate some of your green anxiety

The extraordinary art of homemaking
My name is Diana Iran and I am a homemaker. In one of the episode from Oprah’s show, she said that being a homemaker was the most difficult job on earth. I did not understand at the time if the comment was a sarcasm or she really meant it, but the true is that being a homemaker is a hell of a job. I mean is awesome to have the opportunity to stay at home and see my children grow, learn with them, enjoy the freedom of not having a 8 to 5 job, but, but, but it is a 24/7 job it is ” exhausting”. You are a cook, clean lady, teacher, soccer coach, wife, lover, psychologist, carpenter, plumber, gardener, chauffeur, etc. Nevertheless, with the bigger perspective of all things in mind, being a homemaker is awesome. I am a homemaker who likes to be creative when it comes to solving the every day problems and the no so every day ones. You are up to see advices, experiences, debates, videos, photos, poems, paintings, recipes, funny stories, creativity and much, much more. Take a look and maybe you would find something interesting. I looooove!!!!!!!! the internet, it has made my childhood’s dream come true. My dream was about me being invisible so that I have the chance to se how other people live. Wee, Yeah!!!! With the internet I can do that, just by surfing from blog to forum, from website to photo album. Also, I love humans, we humans beings are too complex and funny. We still have prejudgement and tag one another as geek, shallow, intellectual, emotional, mad, even happy or any other flat definition that our prejudgment tell us. We like different things, one of those things can be shallow and another can be a humanitarian thing. So we are neither shallow nor humanitarian, we are being us. Therefore, this website is not about being shallow, happy nor intellectual, neither is about just homemaking. This site is about (me, of course) but first of all, it is about sharing, giving, embracing the great opportunity to learn from one another. Feel free to comment, make suggestions, share your knowledge or criticize this site. WELCOME
