Let's Clear the Air
It's important to have clean air in the areas you spend the majority of your time. Clean air eases breathing and is great for your overall health. Those of you urban dwellers, who've had the luxury to travel outside the city limits for an extended period of time, have first-hand knowledge of the benefits of fresh air. But some toxins can't be cleaned by just opening a window or using an air filter. For those times, I turn to sage. For hundreds of years, Native American cultures have burned sage as a way to clear blocked or negative energy. I use it to clear the air in new apartments and office spaces, as well as after any particularly stressful time my life. It always makes the space feel clearer and lighter. So try sage the next time you're in need of an energy lift, and let me how you like it!
Many blessings,

It's been four days. The celebration of Barack Obama's historic win of the Presidency is just beginning to set into the consciousness of our country. As an African American woman, I am especially proud to see him ascend to the highest position in our government. I think it is a testament to the healing we have undergone as a nation in regards to race. But I also think it represents a growing desire of the American people for more truth, leadership and inspiration from our elected officials. And although his election in itself is something that could not have been predicted even a year ago, what I am most astonished by is the reaction from the world. When Barack Obama was named the projected winner of the Presidency, news traveled around the world in an instant. Images flashed across our television screens from Germany, France, Great Britain, Kenya, Japan and Australia--all celebrating our new President and the belief that the promise of America was still alive. There was joy, hope and yes, tears from a world of supporters who did not have a vote but had a stake in our election. After the difficulty of the past years, it's wonderful to again be living up to the greatness that is America.
