As you all know messages come in many forms. Recently I bought a Green & Black’s Organic chocolate bar. As I was “finishing it up” I noticed writing on the inside wrapper, and it caught my attention. I thought it was a wonderful message to share with all of you.
“LIVE IN THE &
It’s where green meets black
Where indulging in life exists harmoniously with respecting it. No compromises.
…It simply made sense to us. It’s why all of our products have a rich and decadent flavor, creating the signature intensity for which we’ve become known.
What once sounded too good to be true, turns out to be surprisingly simple. If you’re good to the earth, it can be good back. This is what we mean when we say “Live in the &”. Have it both ways. Have the green and the black. The conscience and the decadence.
& It’s in our name. It’s in everything we do.”
Many of us have been conditioned to live in the “or”. We think we have to choose between the polarities in life, or that we have to like something more than the other. What if you liked it ALL? Life in the “AND” gives us more variety, richer possibilities, and a vast outlook on life.
I know we all have this awareness AND can take a moment to rekindle it! Like when you “refresh” a web page and something new shows up on your computer, today refresh your awareness on being in the world in Unity.
Live in the &. As you move about the day in contact with all the “other” in the world can you do it with sensitivity? Be aware of the mind that wants you to choose, and see if you can embrace it all!

Thank you to all those who made a change to make a difference. It was noticeable to see less plastic on the deck, fewer cars in the parking lot and lots of smiles. Less meat consumed, less trees used to clean or absorb, more calories burned rather than oil.
Continue on…Don and I will be biking more often. For me I found it to be exhilarating, as we listened to the birds and saw so much wildlife we often miss as we drive by.
Keep it Green!

Today was the second day, and first class of our Keeping it Green Challenge. Don and I rode our bike to and from class as our inspiration in making a difference. It is about 14 miles round trip, and a total “gas” to do it. I love biking and doing it again this morning reminds me of the pleasure (and pain) of peddling through nature. I loved listening to the wind in my ears, the birds singing me on and seeing the beauty that we live in, and I’d like to see conserved.
So this week what can you do that makes a difference. It can be something very simple, but together it becomes HUGE! All we are asking is all this week you do something different. You can do one thing, or a different thing everyday. Maybe it will inspire others. Maybe you’ll do it longer than a week. We enact transformation when we awaken our awareness and commit to a new action.
Here is the roll call so far of the creative and simple ways we can all make a difference:
Lisa E using stainless steel water bottle only and wrap n mat for sandwiches.
Shannon O shopping locally and recycling
Christa using my recycle grocery bags EVERY TIME for the next year.
Brendan recycling
Nancy biking to class- day one was awesome!
Jenn F is keeping the air set at 78 during the day and closing the blinds to guard against the afternoon sun.
Susan M will not be using paper towels.
Carol D will walk or ride her bike to class, and bring her reusable water bottle
Ann C will not be eating meat
Linda B buying a recycle bin for the family business – forever green.
Pam W start composting.
Adrienne S not use paper towels.
Maxine R use a reusable container for her water source.
Don biking to class.
Laure G riding bike to yoga
Vickie V hand washing dishes.
Nannette W bicycling to the beach/pool with my daughter.
What will you do? Be inspired by others!
