A VERY simple thing you can do to reduce your footprint!


I just experienced the Alchemy Conference in Los Angeles and it was so powerful! I have transformed many time over in just three days and way too much to blog about here. What I want to share now is one simple, practical thing I thought of that we can all do to begin to change one of the habits that causes so much waste and pollution in our environment. Throughout the day how many of us use “disposable” cups, plastic ware, grocery bags and take out containers? I have been mostly good about using reusable bags for my groceries, but I am guilty of getting a regular Starbucks drink and taking my food home in (yikes) Styrofoam take-out containers. What if, instead of just following the insanity of disposables simply because that's "the way it is", on our daily travels we carried a little bag with the following things:


Travel Mug

A silverware(or bamboo ware) set

Plenty of cloth grocery bags

Snacks and/or a lunch

A small set of Tupperware


I know it seems like a lot, but it really is only a small bag and just think of all the trash you would take out of the cycle!! Our disposable habit must shift to make a real difference in the world and no new habit is easy or even comfortable at first. However it is shown that if you can successfully repeat any action for 30 days it will become a habit and be as natural as brushing you teeth in the morning. SO what do you say? Are you in? Simply cut and paste the text below and place it in TWO places, one by your front door, and one by your bathroom mirror (so you don’t have the excuse of only seeing the reminder on you way out the door and not having time to get your kit together).


I am so excited to commit to this new habit!! Please share your experience with me as we all endeavor to take better care of our Home Planet!


Much love and inspiration,

Anah aka Hoopalicious


Remember and Rejoice!!

Do you have your travel mug?

Do you have your cloth grocery bags?

Do you have a fork, spoon and a knife?

Do you have snacks and/or a lunch?

Do you have your Tupperware?

She combines bodywork with various sound therapy tools including tuning forks, planetary gongs, crystal singing bowls, and toning. Sound therapy takes the effects of bodywork to a much deeper level - your muscles will relax allowing more flexibility and freedom of movement and you will feel much less sore than you normally would from 4 days of hooping! Other effects can include increased energy, deeper sleep, a more balanced emotional state, a general feeling of increased peace and joy and more!
