I've been toying with starting this blog for awhile, and finally decided to just do it, or another year would pass with nothing done.
Brambles, the name of this blog and my intent is to share my journey towards living a better life. It won't be easy nor necessarily pretty, but hopefully will have lots of wonderful moments much like the roses and wonderful berries that are a reward for fighting all the thorns.
What do I mean a better life? A better life for me. I'm over 50, separated, empty nester that feels strongly about the whole 'green' movement, organic food, healthy life choices and leaving less of an impact on Mother Earth than not.
My choices are not what everyone can or would want to make for their life, and that's okay! We each have our own choices to make and path to walk. I've consciously chosen to start making choices that feel right to me. Recycling was the first 20 years ago! Removing most household toxins (cleaners) and using vinegar, baking soda, essential oils, etc. to clean with, and continually educating myself on the benefits of these changes, then making them! I won't lie it can be slow going, some are down-right hard!
