Lifestyles Of The Happy And Fun

Lifestyle: What Do We Do Once We’re “There”?

In the past two years I and other Divine Openings Givers have helped people all over the world awaken to a new reality in which they begin to actually live the things they used to hope for, dream of, and work hard for. Then the hard work ends and ease begins.

Then I began to ask myself these questions: “Since I love and enjoy these people who have gravitated to my online world (it’s now so huge it really is a virtual “world”) -- what can I offer them now that they don’t need to come to the site all the time to feel better? Is my job done?” More and more of you are free, prosperous, and having fun, or well on your way.... so now what?

Two answers came quickly, as they always do when we’re tapped in to that mainline of creativity: “I’ll add a Lifestyle section to the site, where we can all share ideas about sustainable living, expanding our talents and visions, fun things to do, creating to our heart’s desires. There’ll be resources, links, experts, and ideas on how to do it.” Then I'll add a Make A Difference section, so we can all share ways to contribute to good causes.

Help us grow this new project. It's just begun.

Soon, we'll have a directory of topics and a forum for discussion. The doing of these things is fun, but it's a step by step process.

Send YOUR best BRIEF ideas and links for progressive, expanded living to Lifestyle@LolaJones.com.
  One idea per email, please.

Michael Abedin of www.AustinAllNatural.com collaborates with me on this project. His magazine reflects extensive research on the myths and truths of ecology, recycling, organics, health, and "natural"...... plus he's funny. That counts for a lot! 


TREAT YOURSELF  When you are too austere in your diet, it takes the joy out of eating, and then most people fall off the wagon and overindulge. Now there's a delicious, fine Belgian Healthy Chocolate you can enjoy without any guilt THREE TIMES A DAY. It is diabetic safe and can actually improve gum, tooth, and cardiovascular health. Highest antioxidant ratings are age-retarding, and anti-inflammatory.  HealthyChocolate

 FOOD  The food at our 5-Day Silent Intensives is so good, people ask for the recipes. Here are some of the recipes, with more to come.

VIDEO, & MOVIES Get a group of girlfriends together and go see the movie, Mama Mia. Ignore the stuffy critics who are allergic to joy. (For heaven's sake, lighten up, critics -- it's a MUSICAL! They're supposed to be goofy.) We ended up singing along, coveting the costumes, scheming up a girls band, and laughing our heads off. Guys.... uh, you might like it.

 HOBBIES

CONTAINER GARDENING: My friend Penny inspired me to try container gardening – it was easy – and you can do it even on an apartment balcony. I'm already eating my first lettuce, spinach, radishes, and sprouts. gardenguides.com    aggie-horticulture

SMALL RAISED BED GARDEN: Then with confidence bolstered by the success at container gardening, I just planted a six by eight foot raised bed. it's bordered by pavers, with buried soaker hoses in the piled up rows, and mulch between the rows to start. No maintenance, maximum yield, and minimal water use. It was amazingly easy and fast to start with bags of organic garden soil from the home improvement warehouse. Four days later radish and okra sprouts are up! I found it needed a shade cloth in hot sun. Wow! I'll post pictures as my experiment goes along. There’s nothing more grounding and balancing than getting your hands in the dirt.

PEST CONTROL SANS CHEMICALS: A 50-pound bag of food grade diatomaceous earth has just about eliminated all the fire ants, scorpions, fleas, carpenter ants, and even the internal parasites in our animals and ourselves, without pesticides and chemicals. (If you lay down a bed of it before you pour a foundation, you'll never have termites.) It's tiny skeletons of microscopic creatures, and it's already millions of years old, so it doesn't degrade. It's cheap in large bags at progressive garden stores, about $26/50 lb. but expensive on the internet. Read the cautions. gardenharvestsupply.com   dirtworks.net/Diatomaceous-Earth.html    wikipedia.org/wiki

RAINWATER COLLECTION: Now I’m checking into how to collect rainwater from a shingle roof, and the results will soon be published in these new Lifestyle pages. If you know anything about this, please share.

“I’ve lived on ten acres for seven years now,
and just now remembered that food grows in dirt, not grocery stores;
and water just falls from the sky, and doesn’t come from a pipe.” Lola
