Hello
Thanks for making this world greener one day at a time
First off, what is a “Greenie”? If you are someone who is on a journey to seek truth in health, wellness and a more natural way of living, then you are a fellow Greenie! And to that I say hello, welcome, and I am sure glad you are here! If what I described is not you at all, then to that I say hello, welcome, and I am sure glad you are here; because I am hoping that I can get you on board! You will honestly find that this is a much more rewarding way of living, and if you are anything like me, will soon discover yourself craving more truth and knowledge!
“Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.”
– Elvis Presley
Why Seek Green?
Everyone has their own journey and reasons for why they want to seek a healthier way of living, but I’ll tell you why I do it. When I first began to learn about natural products and healthier ways of eating, I was shocked with how little I actually knew. I mean very little! It made me both a little upset and sad to see how confused our nation is when it comes to health and product consumption. I also began to learn how in sync our bodies are with nature and how amazingly well the earth provides for us. God created us to live in perfect harmony with nature; to work together, respect each other, and take care of each other. The more we mess and try and “perfect” what God has created, the more we create more toxicity for our selves and the world. I choose to seek a greener life for both my family and I, because I believe that’s how we were called to live and I believe in the power good nutrition and an environment free of toxic chemicals has on the body, mind, and spirit.
About Me
Hi everyone, my name is Rachelle and I am a wife and mother of two beautiful boys, Maverick and Hayden. They are the blessings in my life and one of the main reasons I started going green. In a lot of ways I feel like my green story is just starting, because I feel like there is so much more I would like to learn, but where it truly began was with my childhood. Like most of us, I grew up and lived in an average So Cal home where everything was readily available to me, and all I had to do was go to my local grocery store and pull whatever I wanted off the shelf. This type of consumerism was my everyday life and in my mind I had no reason to question it. I was led to believe that everything I took off that shelf was good and healthy for me, why wouldn’t it be?
Like most people I began watching documentaries and hearing stories of what not to eat and the latest diet at the time; my perception of a healthy diet was constantly changing, always leaving me in a stare of confusion. It really wasn’t till the birth of my first son, though, that I began to question a lot more then what was in my makeup, skincare and GMO foods. I began to take a real look at the modern world in which we lived in, and how it was operated, and who exactly was operating it. It was at this point where my husband and I didn’t take every word we heard as truth, but started looking into everything. If it affected our bodies and our way of living, we wanted to research it for ourselves. We were no longer taking anyone’s words as truth.
With a new mindset, and a little mini to look after, we began to tackle little things like cleaner laundry detergent, soaps and shampoos; and larger things like supplements, drugs, and that good ol’ controversial vaccine topic that everyone is scared to bring up. The more we began to want to learn for him, the more we began to realize how far off we were; not because we were stupid, but because we were so mislead by mainstream media and marketing.
I can honestly say this path has became a bit of an obsession for me and my husband. I thank the Lord that along with all the other many beautiful blessings having my son gave me, that it also gave me the blessing of opening my eyes to the truth of living a healthier lifestyle. I can’t wait for you to join me on this path! And I pray that in doing so you learn a lot about who you are, and what kind of life you want to live.
I started this blog in hopes that this can be a space where people can come and learn; And not just learn, but feel safe learning. I do not wish to judge you on where you are at on your journey, because my journey was a slow starting one and there are still many, many areas I would like to grow in. I am just so happy you are curious about planting a greener foundation for you and your family. From the bottom of my green heart I would just like to say thank you. Thank you for stopping to take a look. Thank you for trying to better yourself and the planet. And thank you for spreading the love!
