This blog started out with me trying to fight (what was diagnosed as) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by having a healthy lifestyle. I also wanted to lessen my carbon footprint in the process. My plan was to chronicle the changes I made in my life to "save myself and the planet" (which was my old title). A few months after I began this blog I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It changed the direction of blog, so I needed to change the title.

The Plan
I am breaking up my goals into categories: food, waste, electricity, and products. I will try to do one thing each week to complete my large category goals. Food: I want to eat more locally grown food, less packaged food, and healthier food (less refined sugar and flour). As for waste I simply (or not so simply) want to reduce my overall trash- especially plastic and paper. I want to use less electricity overall and get green power. For products, I want to use more natural and homemade cosmetics, cleaning products and medications. I know I am really simplifying the whole process because it will take many mini-steps in order to accomplish my overall goal of making less of an impact on the planet. I do not expect to ever really finish any goals as this will be an ongoing process for my whole life.
