2016: THE YEAR OF TRUTH! Part 2

 IT IS TIME TO BECOME THE BETTER YOU!

Sending Love and Light to all on the planet during these times.

I have been writing this blog the past few weeks and was planning on posting it today and then today happened…..Brussels.  Sending much love, prayers and light to all who are dealing with the unspeakable in our world.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD FOR NOW IS:

PEACE

Peace in all ways, Peace in all things, Peace to all living beings….PEACE

 

IT IS THE SPRING EQUINOX!

A time of new beginnings!  Let all of us, begin anew!

As I mentioned in part one of my 2016 blog, this is the year of extremes.

You cannot help but notice “the more” of it right now in the news.  It is in a sense everywhere and the thought that may pass through your mind a lot lately is “What is going on everywhere?”  “Has the world gone crazy?”

In many respects, no matter what is going on in one’s life or in one’s world, you will probably be experiencing extremes in either one direction or the other and sometimes happening one right after the other and it is exactly because of this, that it will be up to each one of us, to choose the energy and direction we wish to take with it.  We are, unfortunately, really seeing much of what I mentioned earlier this year really coming into play now and I say unfortunately, because of the different tragedies that are happening around us and the erratic energy that surrounds all of it.  To help change it, It is in a sense very simple…..we, society as a whole, needs to know that….

IT IS TIME TO TREAT OTHERS AS YOU, YOURSELF WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED….NOW!

 

THE FUTURE:  AT THE FOREFRONT STRONGLY THIS YEAR

Right now, in this time period, in the midst of a lot of sometimes craziness with the extremes, there will be a lot and I mean a lot of really important world wide breakthroughs, discoveries, advancements and announcements on many fronts, especially concerning health, technologies, space, travel architectural wonders etc.  In the media, there will be a theme of the future, as well and that means everything having to do with our future will be in the media like never before, almost like a distraction, to the “now” time period.  It will need to be a balance of both. The present and the future, so we can change things for the better.  So pay attention to what you are seeing and don’t get distracted by anything that is not important for your life.

Also, as I mentioned, there will be the extreme highs in the midst of the extreme lows.  Meaning, how far our world has come through our technological achievements etc. but, also simultaneously, how low our society seems to be sinking in the sense of our humanity.  How there seems to be many beings allowing and stepping more and more into a cruelty and a callous treatment of others.  Our spoken words and actions towards others have great impact.  We all, humanity as a whole,  need to know, that like the child that pushes the boundaries, this unfair treatment will not be allowed to continue this year, the Universe is saying No and every human being needs to take heed!

 

LOVE

On the beautiful flip side, (yes there is hope : ) you will also hear about and see more love through really amazing beings doing beautiful and caring things for others, which will activate our hearts and our “love of others” further.  You will also see this come forth as more people coming together to promote Love.  This will up tick.  The key will be, for all of us, to make the changes into Peace and Love more and more now and to have this love come in and fill our daily lives, as opposed to the opposite.  We must all step into Love now.  There is no time to lose for our lives, our souls, our world depends upon it.  : )  So we can all have a brighter tomorrow asap!

LOVE!    : )    xo

 

THE VERY NEAR FUTURE: BEGINNING THIS YEAR

In the midst of some of the present challenges, we will find that telepathy will become more mainstream, you will be hearing others thoughts, this is happening now already and will become even more of the norm as we shift and change.  People will be talking about it more and more, with phrases like “how did you know I was thinking that or going to say that?”  We will all realize just how amazing we all are.  We will find out a lot more about our special gifts and what we are all really capable of, this will be coming in really strongly this year.

There will be a stepping up in intuitive and psychic abilities in those who are open to it and ready to change.  This year will be like no other because of the abruptness of delivery from the Universe in pressing what needs to come forth and come forth rapidly. Most importantly, as I mentioned before, we will all be experiencing these changes in different ways and at different times, so just keep the faith!  : )

 

AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS:  WORLD WIDE CIVIL UNREST

All of this was predicted a long time ago by Cayce, if we all didn’t start changing, then certain unpleasant scenarios would start coming into play in regards to people, their lives and what they are dealing with ie any unfairness etc…..a tipping point…how long can things be ignored before they start falling apart, hence; sadly, the now we are all in, the protests, the fear, the uncertainty, the violence.   Does this not sound like every movie that you have ever seen dealing with history?  We humans, must stop.  We must stop the need to control.  We must stop the manipulations, especially the ones that are at any cost.  Any manipulation that is towards the selfish goals of greed, ego, power, money etc they are not helping us. We must stop this pattern now and it starts with each one of us.  By changing and seeing it ourselves and in others, allows us to help others to truly see.

 

EARTH CHANGES AND SOCIAL INJUSTICES

This is my truth and my belief, our earth, our world is a direct link to us, for we are all one.  Don’t kid yourself, when someone does something cruel or mean to someone else or does anything to hurt in general, it hurts each one of us, our planet and all living beings on the planet.  The person that does the hurt is, in a way doing it to themselves; you may notice an instant Karma in a sense.  Remember the film Avatar?  Our Mother Earth is crying.  From the intense storms, to the drought, to the quakes, to even the honey bees, everything that is manifesting is manifesting because on a world-wide scale we have lost touch with what is truly real and important.  There is unfortunately, a superficiality; a thoughtlessness; a greed and a huge sense of entitlement that is way out of balance here and it has overtaken many beings on this planet.  Prejudice and inequality is rampant and the blatant disregard of life has created a dynamic that we all are dealing with now on a global scale, it is in a sense all the same old stuff that humanity has repeated over and over and over again for centuries, for ions really.  Can we get it already? Can we finally, honestly and truly, respect and care about others, their health, happiness and well being, even more than we care about wealth, ego and power?  For as long as this continues, this will unfortunately lead us all to where we all truly don’t want to go…..again.  Do we really need to destroy ourselves over and over again to get the lesson?  How many amazing civilizations have gone before us and were on this exact same route and for what reason?  For the BS?  For selfishness, for money, for ego, for power, for greed?  Are we not smarter now?……. Yet?

So this is the question and this is where it gets tricky, how bad does it have to get, to get people to change, and once it is reached and a shift begins in the positive, how quickly can it start to reverse the decades long or really honestly centuries long, in many respects, negative manifestations.  In other words, when do we reach a point of no return where there is no turning back, so to speak, and we all realize that indeed our beautiful world may need to go through some pretty difficult and challenging times, to truly heal.  And that this time period right now, is pretty much looking like it is that time, where we will all have to find a way through it, so all of us and our world can become balanced, healthy and whole again.   This is our now.  So I say, please, please….Peace in all ways, in every person, place, thing, gathering etc.  Let Peace and Love be the focus.

 

EARTHQUAKES

I really, really dislike talking about earthquakes, because as I have mentioned before, I still really believe we can change the course of things with proper thought etc.  I honestly truly believe that and that is why I continue to not expect large quakes.   So I write all of this in regards to earth changes etc as an awareness to use, but not as a set in stone by any means.  Like I always say in regards to something that is not good, I hope I am wrong and I want to be wrong.  I am not one of those intuitives that has to be right about everything.  Only God/Source knows all and that is how it should be.   : )

So in regards to California…because many of you are asking me about California specifically, I will say that….my guides have always told me that they would let me know when it is time to really leave, if we reach the point of no return, so to speak, in regards to humanity and all earth changes.  So I am always open to receiving that message at the proper time.  Overall, it does get into so many variables.  How many of these possible upcoming changes have been created by man, in man’s quest for more and how many are naturally in the order of Mother Earth and her natural cycles?  That is why predictions with timeframes can be the most difficult to pinpoint, one can see something coming into play but because of choices that man makes etc timelines can get shifted, so this is especially good in regards to things that can be catastrophic in nature, so there is hope!  The way to look at it is, we have the power to change the world for the better.

In the meantime, we (the US) have been amazingly lucky especially with all of the changes happening else where in the world, but as you know, there is an up tick and quakes are stepping up all over the planet.

The area that I am initially feeling really concerned about is Central California…it concerns me that the drought could create a dynamic because of the earth’s crust (and this dynamic, which is all over California really) could be the very cause that starts more movement in CA,  I hope not, I truly hope that I am wrong in all ways that are not good and I hope it never materializes for a very, very long time.  But please remember, like I said before and reiterate over and over, do not hold on to the set in stone here, but please do be prepared no matter where you are and have plans of action in place for you and your loved ones.

Quakes and all earth changes are coming in for all of us to take as warnings, to take heed and to change our lives and our world and to stop the disregard for all living beings on this planet.  We are, through our blatant disregard for all that is a-live, in a sense creating our extinction at lightning speed.

As many of you know I am a super optimistic person, but I am honestly, feeling unfortunately, as days go by, that if, we, on a global scale don’t start shifting quickly into more love of one another and our Mother Earth that some of the bigger quakes will possibly come into play like Cayce mentioned and this is especially so, if we don’t get on track soon and that yes, because of it, Southern California and all of California really, can start to have more meaningful shifting this year ie in more activity and strength.  This will be in direct proportion to what we do…..do we step into the healing or do people continue to try to manipulate and destroy?  This is up to us…..so you know what to do!  : )

The bottom line is, realistically, like it or not, we are in earthquake country and we are a part of the ring of fire, so once again expect the best, but be prepared.  The best course of action is, to be honest with yourself and to listen to your intuition and to your guides and angels and if you feel it is time to make some changes, then do!

 

BE THE CHANGE

Two timeless quotes and absolutely my favorites are: “Be the change you wish to see in the world” by Mahatma Gandhi, and the other is “Thoughts are things” by Edgar Cayce.  These are beautifully on point, for once again, this is all up to us now, only we can change ourselves, which will, in turn, help to change our world.  For it truly starts with each one of us, it starts with what we think, what we say and what we ultimately do, so think about it, think about your life and choose your choices in people and situations, wisely.  : )

 Remember to stay balanced and if you need some guidance or any steps to take etc during these wacky times, you know where I am.  : )

In the meantime, I send lots of love, please send love to everyone you meet every day and we can create the changes that we all need to in this world now, it is never too late to change!  Believe it and go after your dreams!!!

Until next time….

BE COURAGEOUS!

2016 : The Year of Truth!

 

02.08.2016

Happy Lunar New Year!

Yes….this will be a realistic assessment of our Now and what I feel is really going on for all of us.  : )

But also please know, that I believe in Love and Light and possibilities that are endless, so please balance all as you read on!

2016:  The Year of Truth!  Part 1

It is February 8, 2016 the Lunar New Year and I was asked by a number of my clients to blog about what I feel is going on in our world and what is in store for all of us, so I am here to give some feelings and predictions for the coming year… and yes it is filled with my always positive optimism for our world, but, also with some realities, some pretty strong realities, especially if we all don’t start changing and moving into the direction that we are needing to go in and that means, ideally all of us and if not all, then most.  We need to become a positive collective consciousness now, focused on what we want and we need, crucially, to get on the same page.  Time literally is of the essence.  Many of you know me from my intuitive work and how I work with each one of you to create.  The following will be dealing with the realities we all are facing right now, in a sense, The Truth and some steps to make it work for you.    : )

As I mentioned in a previous blog on the California drought, I am not a doom and gloom person and this is because I believe in the possibility of change and how changes in one’s thoughts and actions can absolutely change outcomes in regards to anything that is going on around us and in our lives, we have the power to do this.  This is and always has been, how I live my life and how I do my work; that is specifically why many of you come to me and work with me, energetically we work together to help create what you want in your life.   Like Abraham and Esther and Jerry Hicks have spoken about with The Law of Attraction, we are all co – creators… and with the Universe especially.  Which is why it needs to be reiterated that this is what’s happening generally on a global scale and of course, specifics will be different for each of us.

I have never been one for outwardly and publicly predicting certain events, especially ones that may be particularly troublesome or worrisome and this is because I believe in choice and change in all things, in readings and in life.  I also believe that we can manifest what we don’t want; if we think about something too much as already being set or having a given outcome, especially sometimes regarding world wide public predictions and especially if the prediction is looking at something negative or fearful.  Through my own personal journey as an empathic intuitive I have learned, that nothing, I repeat, nothing is set in stone in this world.  The important thing to remember in regards to predictions, any prediction, is that everything is changeable; that sentence in itself can bring in amazing possibilities for hope, change and new beginnings.  Remember to never go to the fear in regards to any seemingly possible negative situation or prediction, instead go to okay, I will prepare just in case, but also, “what other choices do I have?”  As I always say to everyone in my readings, I will always be very honest with you in what I feel is coming in, but also, I could be wrong, for I am not God / Source / Universe, I am only human, like you.  All I can do is give you my truth and my assessment of the situation that is being looked at.  I am always thankful when a reading is on point, for it truly is God / Source / Universe connecting and allowing me to properly understand what is being communicated.

So please use all of the following to possibly see and realize, but also use it to inspire, change and to continue to create miracles in your life no matter what may be going on.  For Miracles truly happen everyday in regards to all things and in all ways!  : )

2016 IS THE YEAR OF EXTREMES

It will be a year of crossroads for our own personal beliefs and also within our lives, this will be on a global scale.  Nothing we know of will stay the same.  We are going to find and this is for pretty much all of us, no matter who we are, the need to shift and change on a dime to stay in balance.   The key will be how we look at it and deal with it all.  As you know, everything is in our own hands, so watch and work with this and stay balanced no matter what.

THE GLOBAL AWAKENING

This year will be about an awakening in regards to what really is.  Everyone in a sense will not be allowed to be asleep any longer and this will be coming in sometimes through an up tick of hardships or lack of flow.  The more opinionated or stuck a person is, the harder the lesson will need to come in and the more frustrated the person may be or become.  Hmmm???  How does the Universe get our attention to change?  Yes you got it.  Are you going to stay in old processes and patterns and sink?  Or are you going to change and swim?  Yes?   : )  So if you’re noticing a lot of tightly wound and frustrated people, especially right now, this is most likely one of the main reasons why.

Reality is going to hit everyone, no matter how much money you have in the bank, so just be aware and take the appropriate steps in one’s thought process etc.  Society as a whole needs to chill and we need to become more tolerant, loving and forgiving human beings, as opposed to unfortunately many beings who are super impatient, rude, intolerant and spoiled.  There really is no excuse for mistreatment of others in any way.  Why would anyone want to see another being suffer in this world?

This year is the beginning of truly seeing everyone’s spirit as opposed to only seeing the physical body, which is where we have come from and been, meaning only seeing the physical reality.  This is the year of Spirit.  Seeing spirit shine.  Remember that beautiful philosophy, treat others’ as you would like to be treated?  This is meant in all ways and in all places, home, work, school. It is all about getting back to basics, back to what is truly important in this world, this is the Now; to connect all of us again in our human-ness, and this may come in for some, through various unpleasant things, but will ultimately lead us all to an amazing new beginning for our world.  So keep the faith!    : )

TRUTH

You will notice that the Truth will be coming out in all ways.  More and more beings will see and sense manipulation.  Anyone who has not been honest in their relationships or in their work or business will pretty much need to realize that they will not be able to keep things hidden for much longer, it will not be sustainable, if it hasn’t come out already, it will.  Beings, who have built their lives around manipulations, will start to see their lies unravel and the truth, uncovered. This will also be in regard to any mistreatment, in any way, almost like an automatic karmic return.  That goes for families and employers.  Take care of your people and you will also be taking care of you.

It will finally be realized, that one can run, but you can’t hide from the Universe, when the Universe wants things out and in the open, it will happen….just another beautiful reason to be in your truth.  : )

HEALTH

In 2016, please make taking care of you and your health a top priority, like never before.   This is because, as we all know, if we don’t have our health we don’t have much of anything.  Every day there is some new challenge popping up to be aware of, so the best course of action is to please make sure that you are in a healthy environment, (in more ways then one), that you are getting enough rest, that you are eating properly, (organically, and if not fully, then, as much as you can, please) and that you are boosting your immune system with super foods.  Also checking in with a holistic doctor to find even more natural ways to boost your body’s health is especially perfect!

ECONOMY

The divide between the haves and the have nots will become much more pronounced, until it reaches a tipping point, which is soon.  The imbalance will not be able to go on for much longer, for it cannot sustain, at which time, all will change.  It is all happening, because, the world needs to change now and it needs to change rapidly, we have no more time to waste on human BS and we all know, honestly what that BS is, ego, greed, power, etc. yes?  BS unfortunately, can be everywhere, even in seemingly spiritual, new age people, businesses and situations etc.  So please be aware, always go your gut, ask your questions, go with your intuition and try to only support the people and businesses that walk the talk truly.  Put your focus, your money, where it will do the most good.  Actions speak louder than words in this world, and if someone or something isn’t syncing up, trust it, you are sensing it for a reason.  Personally if I am sensing or feeling something that I am unsure of or is off, I just ask a lot of questions and usually find through really looking and listening, all is revealed.

The more we all support, the people, places and businesses that are really on the right path and really get it and treat beings properly, the quicker everything economically can get on track.  So find out and see, ask your questions, support who and what you want to see in the world.  This will help create the needed changes rapidly.

STOCK MARKET

Obviously, it has been very tricky in the market and I feel this will continue.  This is bringing in the theme for the year that I mentioned which is Truth. So please take heed and be super smart regarding your money and where you are investing.  The market is ready for a big correction and I do feel some of Edgar Cayce’s prophecies coming into play now.  The financial world that we are in is not the old world, so please do act accordingly and don’t assume long standing practices are still the norm, those days are gone.  Anything goes now.  Be protective of you and your assets.

STAY BALANCED

What’s really good, will be that we will finally be “awakening and really seeing” quite rapidly, the truth and because of this very dynamic, will be gaining an understanding of the bigger picture of our world and all that is.  This is the time of the great balancing, know it and trust it, new beginnings start with each one of us individually, this is and will be the challenge for our world in 2016.

Check back for my next blog looking at 2016: The Year of Truth Part 2.

In the meantime, go after all that you wish to achieve no matter what!

Love and xo Guinevere

 

 

Weekly Intuitive Forecast With Guinevere May 25 ~ May 31 2015

Posted on My 25, 2015 on The Mystic Journey Bookstore Blog

Monday, May 25th through Sunday, May 31st

This Week: Change Through Remembrance
with Guinevere

The theme for this week is learning to use our past experiences to create the future that we want.

Briefly, my Guides wanted me to bring forth to all of us the need to not repeat patterns that no longer serve us.  How many civilizations does it take for us to really get it, especially in regards to unfairness, poverty, unrest, greed, and war?  It is important for all of us to pay attention to the consequences of our daily actions, ideally, as we are living them. If that doesn’t happen, then at least try to do something to fix or change them soon afterwards. The key is remembering that it starts with each one of us as the tiny spark of an individual combines with others and together creates the changes that are needed. As long as we can be in that frame of mind, we are actually helping to change things on a global scale. Every little bit really does help.

Take the California drought, for example: I have been feeling the urgent need to try to help in whatever small way that I can. I truly feel that this is really, really important and not something that we should be taking lightly. Each one of us can help with the drought by making changes in how we do things.  We can really help change what may come into play through conservation now! (Editor’s note: check out Guinevere’s recent blog post for ideas!)

In all matters, it always starts with oneself first. No matter how small it is, once combined with others it can mean everything. What we put our thoughts and minds to is what comes to fruition. As the amazing sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce said long ago “Thoughts are things”. Thoughts create our world so clearly, so you really must ask yourself on a daily basis: What am I thinking about?

In addition to the following, Guinevere channeled a reading in honor of Memorial Day. Click here to read it

ORACLE CARD READING

I asked my Guides else we needed to know and I pulled three cards from the three different decks that I was guided to use that brought in some magic, lightness, and balance to this week’s forecast.

What is interesting was that the recurring theme coming into play for the week, along with remembrance, was change. I really, really love how synchronicity works and remembering there are never any accidents when you pull cards – you always get what you are supposed to get – so, interestingly enough, I got change all over the reading along with Guidance from Heaven which is, of course, Source, Guides, Angels and Loved Ones. I personally feel that the connection we all have to our guides and angels is quite profound and it was really confirmed to me again during this reading.

Here is a condensed interpretation of the wealth of information this reading brought:

So, in the first deck Talking to Heaven:

I pulled “I am not dead”  which I feel is so profound with what we are speaking about here today.  That as was mentioned above, we are Spirit and we are forever and the sooner we can look at our life in that way, the sooner we will feel more of our freedom to truly live the way we are meant to!

I Am Not Dead (from Doreen Virtue and James Van Praagh’s Talking To Heaven Mediumship Cards)

In the past few weeks or months, you may have been feeling a sense of urgency to change something or even of being backlogged. This card comes in when there is is a need to get on track, so take the time to do that now through changing what you need to change in your life.

Though nothing ever stays the same, it helps when we bring in new thoughts and ideas that open us up and can lead us to new opportunities. It is through staying open and in balance and looking out for ourselves and others while going through different changes that then allows us to truly feel the possibilities. During this time, try to find a way to go with the flow, if you can. Relax and take time for you!

These sweet cards just wanted to be heard, so I received 4 cards at once. To me, this spread really is very magical for all of us. (From Doreen Virtue’s Magical Mermaids & Dolphins Oracle Cards)

Screen Shot 2016-02-07 at 5.58.56 PM

The Universe wants us to “Make a Wish” in regards to what you would like for your life now and to expect good things to come in from the Universe.

Major “Blessed Changes” are coming your way for your life, so stay positive – this is a confirmation again.

You’re Being Helped” and even if you are not exactly seeing any results right now, be patient and have faith. They are working on things.

Accept Heaven’s Help” and stay open and say yes! For if you don’t stay open and truly want it, how can you receive what is coming your way?

As we all are intuitively feeling whether we really realize it or not, it is a time of extreme awareness. Things are intensifying in all ways and it is very beneficial for achieving the changes in your life that you want. Continue to get your house in order, both in the physical and spiritual sense.

Just remember that things are truly unfolding for each and every one of us, in the most divine and perfect way and to always ask your Guides for the help that you need, this is the key for all of us!

The crystal that is perfect for this week’s forecast is Rose Quartz: because we all need some Love!

Wishing you Peace and Blessings, until next time.

THE CALIFORNIA DROUGHT: WHAT YOU CAN DO

I love that wonderful quote, “All things are possible, if you truly believe” 

I decided to write about the California drought this week, in the hopes that maybe it could help inspire others to make some changes in their life, through conservation, that could ultimately help everyone.

I will start by saying that I am not a doomsday person.  I believe in you and I and us, and I believe we are all capable of creating the changes in our own lives and in the world, especially when things are not going the way we want.  We all must stand in our own specific power and through that power, we can help others and change anything.  

Okay, so one of the things that I strongly feel needs to change now is, how much we humans can waste on a daily basis, from food to water and more.  There are all sorts of reasons why human beings continually do this, from not paying attention, to being too busy or to not really caring at all, whatever the reason, we need to shift our patterns and step into a new mindful reality.  We must choose to be conscious around the choices we make, which ultimately helps each and every one of us.  For we truly are all one, we are all in this together and we must look out for one another and by doing so, we can change our future on a global scale.

With that said.  Why wouldn’t you want to help Mother Earth to replenish, stay pure, clean and healthy, so that she remains beautiful and fruitful for all of us now and for future generations?

WE ARE THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE 

AND

WE ALL REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP TO THAT

We, Southern Californians, are after all, living in pretty much a desert, a built up desert.  I think we forget that overall, because we have all the conveniences around our daily life, but the bottom line is, if you strip away all of the buildings, what is left?  A desert, a desert that is propped up by water that comes from a whole bunch of other sources and some not even from our state.  And until we get a whole lot of rain and snow pack (that I absolutely believe can happen, as anything is possible!) we must really see the reality of where we are at.  That it really is, serious business now, us and water.

THINGS WE CAN DO

Here are a couple of ideas that I started incorporating on a daily basis a while ago to help save water.  Obviously, some may resonate and some may not, but hopefully it will help you to find your own perfect ways to conserve.  It is also my belief that together we can do anything!

I love the feeling of luscious, green grass beneath my toes, who doesn’t?  But, for California right now, specifically, the lawn will unfortunately drink the precious water that you may want to actually drink in the future.  One must weigh the outcomes; on the one hand “pretty lawn” on the other hand “water to live” which one really makes more sense.  Right?  Please if you have a home and a grass lawn please try to shift into a desert landscape as soon as you can, when it is done well it can look really beautiful, while also helping to save our much needed water.

Please check out this article on yahoo.  A yard or garden doesn’t need to be grass to be beautiful:  

https://www.yahoo.com/makers/when-the-grass-is-not-c1174715268309047.html

I love how the thyme looks, this specifically shows, that there are alternatives.

Install low flow shower heads and low flow toilets, I believe this is mandatory in California, and may also be in effect for other states as well, but for any other states that don’t have it, this will automatically start helping you to conserve water.  Also, of course, the following is a given, but you would be surprised how many times it is ignored or not noticed.  Please make sure to check all of your faucets and pipes to make sure there are no leaks, that goes for running toilets as well, even if it’s a small leak, it adds up really quickly.  

I have been finding reusing water really helps me to see the bigger picture of sustainability.  How one seemingly small action can create a dynamic through the larger eco picture.  Meaning if I boil something and it’s still pretty much clean water (like if one boils eggs etc)  I will cool the water down and use it to water plants or clean some dishes or wash the floor.  If it is dirtier, I will use it accordingly, like to flush the toilet.  Nothing in a sense, goes to waste, everything is continually used in different ways for different things.  It is sustainable and quite ingenious, in how it wakes one up to really see and think in an even more environmentally conscious and friendly way.

I do not leave water running from the faucet when I am using it.  I turn it on and off as quickly as I can.  I also don’t run it at capacity,  I use a slower flow to use less. 

I use watered down dishwashing liquid by Ecover and BioKleen, when I am washing just a few things.  I find watering it down still cleans the dishes, but one doesn’t need a whole ton of water to rinse them off.  I am watching carefully to not have any water run needlessly down the drain. I try not to turn on the faucet full force and I try to have a light uniform flow for the sink and for the shower as well.  I am consciously watching that I am not using too much and I make sure my dishwasher is fully loaded before I use it and I do the same in regards to my laundry in the washing machine. 

I flush the toilet only when it is absolutely necessary, and I have been using the gray/captured shower water and my soapy hand wash laundry water to do that.   Once you start saving and re-using water, you will really notice how much you use on a daily/weekly basis. 

I use my hand wash last rinse water to water the plants.  I say the last rinse water so as to not put any chemicals that may be left from the detergent on your plants.  Even better yet, use a great natural soap for your laundry, that’s what I use.  I love the BioKleen and Seventh Generation product lines and no I am not affiliated with either one of them what so ever, other than loving their products.  : )

I have a little bottle of spring water that I use to rinse my toothbrush and I also use it to wash my face. I find that turning the tap water on, usually wastes more water then I need to use to clean off my toothbrush or rinse my face.  Also I have noticed that the automatic water faucets in a lot of public places, seem to run too long.  If you have the same kind of faucet at home, please check and see if there is a timer so that they can be adjusted to turn off more quickly.  

In the shower, I don’t leave the water running and sometimes, if I find I am not excessively dusty/sweaty I will jump in and out really quickly.  I water down my shampoo so I use less water to rinse the shampoo out and I also water down my body soap.  I will also turn the shower off while soaping up and then turn it back on to rinse off.  I keep a pail under the bathtub faucet for unused shower water that drips off the tap, that I can then use to clean the bathtub, the sink and also flush the toilet.

During my showers, I plug the bathtub to hold water and I always make sure I have my rubber mat down in the tub, so as to not slip in the shower with the water collecting.  Obviously, please take the normal steps that you would need to take to avoid slipping etc)  When I am done I fill the buckets/pails with the water that collected in the tub during my shower.  It does take a little bit of extra time and effort to do, but it is well worth it, as you will see just how much water you really use during your shower time and you will probably take a shorter shower because of it.  I never really realized how much water went down the drain until I started doing that.  What is really great from collecting shower water too, is that the gray water I collect really gives me the water to flush my toilet.  So I don’t waste any precious, clean water flushing a toilet and I really love that.

So this is what I am doing so far and as I mentioned I love the feeling of not letting water go to waste, while also using it in the most efficiently, sustainable way.  If I come up with or learn of any other ideas I will post them!  

Thank you so much for reading!  Until next time!
