Shining a Light on Sustainable Ways of Living and Doing Business

The bad news...finding the right sustainable solution for what you need, when you need it can be a bit challenging, somewhat overwhelming, at times confusing, definitely time consuming, and did I mention challenging?

That was my starting point over a decade ago. I wanted healthier, simpler, more meaningful choices -- for everything, and I do mean everything -- for our home, food, shopping, pets, finances, career...

So I'm always hunting and gathering sustainable options for everything from credit cards to cookware in my personal life, and small business financing to jobs in my professional life. Along the way, I ditched the rat race for living somewhere special sooner rather than some day with the three loves of my life (one 2-legged and two 4-legged), and doing work I believe in and absolutely love.

And here's what I learned. Every choice offers an opportunity to make a positive impact by connecting what we choose to do with our time, our money and our livelihoods with a broader understanding of how these choices impact the world beyond just the one we inhabit. For me, this thought defines what "sustainable" means and how it can make a difference - economically, socially, and environmentally.
