Those delightful books are called The Foxfire Books. Foxfire is a series of books based on Appalachian culture. These books are a treasure trove of information about Appalachian folklore, history, and traditional skills. Best of all, they are direct and unpretentious, being the result of a forty-year-long project which has high school students approaching their parents and grandparents, collecting their wisdom, and setting it down in writing. In 1966, Eliot Wigg inton’s English class decided to do a magazine and, as their interest in it grew and ideas began to form, the students decided to talk with their grandparents and track down and record tales of the other elders-stories that had been almost forgotten. Those first students and the students who followed in their footsteps, have now recorded the heritage of the Appalachian area for forty years. The books have interesting stories, folklore and a wealth of education.  Some of the information you may not use but it is never boring! I have included a link to these books on the right to make them easier for you to find.  In these uncertain times, it is Imperative that everyone learns how to be totally independent; leaning on the wisdoms of our great grandparents may be just what you need to get you started.    Thanks for listening, Penny Being a city girl trying to learn to live simply sounded well, –  simple.

"    So, note to self:.. "use only your own car".   Seriously it isn't that bad, but it has been a couple of decades since I had to live with anyone and its tough.  It's crazy not having your own things around BUT at the same time it is remarkable how little stuff you actually need. The past two weeks I was staying at an extended stay hotel because we were on the road doing promotions.  I had never stayed at one of these before but I was surprised at how efficient they are. I had a full sized refrigerator, a two burner stove, a microwave, a kitchen sink and all the cooking/ eating utensils were included.  There was a small island counter to eat at, a desk, a king size bed, a large dresser/mirror, recliner and a TV.  They allowed me to bring my dog Sammy and there was plenty of room for his mid-sized cage.  Not only was it nice, but it taught me that you really don't need a lot of "things" around to feel comfortable — its more about spending your time the way you need and not always sharing.  But  my affirmation is "my life is perfect", and if I am going to believe that, I guess I will have to stop pulling out my hair, put on a bigger smile and know that conflict can't happen if I don't let it. I can't promise  that I am thrilled - I begged my husband to take me away to NC before I went bald but he says we made a promise.  So,  I will be here until I learn the lesson I am supposed to or until I loose my mind which ever comes first.  I guess (un)healthy homes come in many forms. Thinking of you in your healthy homes… Penny In this episode  7 you will find many tips on buying and selling a healthy home.  Penny interviews her King Thompson  Coldwell Banker realtor Gail Merrell and gets her perspective on how Penny's home differed from other homes she has sold and shown.  Penny gives some great advice on curb appeal, staging, subtle prep for showing, and ambiance.  You'll also receive tips on what to look for and how to look for a potential new home.  This podcast is longer than any other we have done and for that I apologize.  We value your mind-share and time but there is so much cool information from Penny and Gail that I didn't have the heart to edit it too much.  Listen and enjoy, and please leave a comment if you feel inclined.  Our shows are made for you and your input helps us to bring you what you want. Episode 7   I'm sure you've heard about OHIO DESIGN'S FANTASTIC JEWELRY GIVEAWAY If you haven't, just listen to podcast episode 7 to get all the details. or click on the Ohiodesign Jewelry give away page "An Amazing Jewelry Give Away!" on the right side of the page.  It is really unbelievable that they are so generous, all the jewelry they sell is totally hand made of the the highest quality Swarovski crystal.  I hope you'll give us a chance to give you some jewelry.  Let us know what you think, leave a comment.

"use only your own car".   Seriously it isn't that bad, but it has been a couple of decades since I had to live with anyone and its tough.  It's crazy not having your own things around BUT at the same time it is remarkable how little stuff you actually need. The past two weeks I was staying at an extended stay hotel because we were on the road doing promotions.  I had never stayed at one of these before but I was surprised at how efficient they are. I had a full sized refrigerator, a two burner stove, a microwave, a kitchen sink and all the cooking/ eating utensils were included.  There was a small island counter to eat at, a desk, a king size bed, a large dresser/mirror, recliner and a TV.  They allowed me to bring my dog Sammy and there was plenty of room for his mid-sized cage.  Not only was it nice, but it taught me that you really don't need a lot of "things" around to feel comfortable — its more about spending your time the way you need and not always sharing.  But  my affirmation is "my life is perfect", and if I am going to believe that, I guess I will have to stop pulling out my hair, put on a bigger smile and know that conflict can't happen if I don't let it. I can't promise  that I am thrilled - I begged my husband to take me away to NC before I went bald but he says we made a promise.  So,  I will be here until I learn the lesson I am supposed to or until I loose my mind which ever comes first.  I guess (un)healthy homes come in many forms. Thinking of you in your healthy homes… Penny In this episode  7 you will find many tips on buying and selling a healthy home.  Penny interviews her King Thompson  Coldwell Banker realtor Gail Merrell and gets her perspective on how Penny's home differed from other homes she has sold and shown.  Penny gives some great advice on curb appeal, staging, subtle prep for showing, and ambiance.  You'll also receive tips on what to look for and how to look for a potential new home.  This podcast is longer than any other we have done and for that I apologize.  We value your mind-share and time but there is so much cool information from Penny and Gail that I didn't have the heart to edit it too much.  Listen and enjoy, and please leave a comment if you feel inclined.  Our shows are made for you and your input helps us to bring you what you want.

To begin creating a healthy outdoor room we delve into the specifics of  five essential types of gardens.  They are: The Garden of Direction, guiding your career path. The Quiet Garden, for cultivating inner peace, The Wedding Garden, finding the love in your life. A Healing Garden, supports nurturing and healthy life styles. Finally The Garden of Riches, manifesting more success and prosperity.  Each of these has a simple yet powerful purpose.  I know that at least one of these five gardens mentioned will find a place in your present day life.  You will be able to immediately implement many techniques that we discuss in this episode.  Other recommendations for plantings and such will take time to mature and develop according to their nature.  Rest assured that the universe is aware of your intention and will honor your efforts, so don't delay using your newly created outdoor room.  The shrubs, plants, and trees will grow to their full majesty, especially with your loyal use of the garden space.  All you need to do is tend your soul and garden.    But here is a little sample of how you can take action today… Create a Wedding Garden Inside   Wedding Gardens are used to draw relationships to you so that love can blossom.  This garden is called a Wedding Garden because it is usually done in two connecting circles. Like an actual figure eight 8. Some feel this symbolizes two wedding rings.  In reality the connecting of these circles shows the inner joining of two souls.  That is so sweet, I love it.  To create a Wedding Garden, the symbols of connecting two souls can be created inside by planting in two separate containers.  One container should be feminine and the other masculine, or yin and yang.  The containers must be different to show the power of your diversities, but if you desire equality in the relationship they should be planted similarly.  Make sure that these containers have  weight to them ( slightly heavy) symbolizing a grounding relationship and that they touch slightly representing the connection.  Be sure they have plenty of light and that you take great care of them.  You can use artificial plantings if you wish.  IMPORTANT:  1.  Place where you can greet them each day with a loving affirmation. Such as: You are so beautiful that you bring nothing but love into my life.   2.  It is important that you light these plants.  Use up-lighting from the floor, a spot light or weave small twinkle lights ( like Christmas tree lights) through the plantings.  These lights increase the vibration of energy around your intention drawing it to you quicker.  To raise the vibration around your intention even higher be sure to add appropriate symbols outside as well.

There are symbols of a couple: two windows, two matching lamps and two matching night stands.  The number two is correct because it represents a couple,  but all three are identical which symbolizes twins.   So, the message is since the items are identical that the relationship needs to be identical, now that is perfect for those of you that want a same-sex relationship but if want an opposite-sex relationship that many identical items in your bedroom should be avoided.  Next let's look at the off white/white combination.  The color white, or lack of color, signifies purity and innocence and lack of color means lack of.. well you know what I mean. Not  a good choice for most master bedrooms where strengthening relations is a fore runner.  Now your significant other may raise an Ooh La La to the virgin room reference but you can tell them to forget it while you are picking out your new room colors. What can we do to make some quick changes? Imagine the room in the picture with a Queen Anne chest on one side and lamps that don't match. Leave the bed drape but add a floral print spread and leave the off white pillows with the blue. You can warm up the beige walls or leave them the same and add more art work.  Usually about now someone is saying, "But,  I like this room".  From a simple design standpoint it meets all the criteria but from a Holistic Redesign standpoint it misses the point which is: drawing loving relationships into your life. If your desire is to add more love in your life or to strengthen the one you have, why not make a few changes and see what happens. But don't forget the spark. A beautiful statue or art work depicting intimacy is a great addition. Use items that you bought on your honeymoon or items that bring you closer together.  Leave the cute things for another space in your home. Less is more - nix the TV and no working or eating in the bedroom. Remember, healthy lifestyles and good dreams is the point of focus.  The body, mind, spirit connection we have with our home is most important and should be a serious focus.  After all, on average we spend a third of our lives in just this one room.  So, you tell me, how important is this room?  I love the promise that the master bedroom holds!

So, if your life is chaotic then change the reflection.  In Wabi Saubi the Japanese believe that life unfolds in the simplest of things, a solitary flower or a piece of driftwood.   Simple means uncomplicated. When we recognize the importance of the Master Bedroom we begin to see the simple idea of soft sheets and over stuffed pillows, billowing curtains and simple shades. Combining the most attractive and the cleanest lines. Adding prints to give a message and solids to ground us. The best thing about this podcast is that we go through the steps and just implementing a few of them, changes our reflection.  Remember that green design plays a big part here.  Air quality, low VOC paints, flooring and natural bedding all add that  whispering touch to your room.  But the average bedroom has very little cohesion, very little appeal.  The good news is that a bedroom can gain the sex appeal it needs for as little as $500.  But you have to be willing to make the changes necessary to make it the best, and most restful room in the home. Let's begin to draw the kind of love we desire into our life by paying attention to all the details and let our rooms tell the story of love and renewal. The time we spend in our bedrooms will be one of sleeping and dreaming, mature conversations and intimate interaction.  In our bedrooms we touch our spiritual and primal selves and this is where we awaken our highest self.   In Decorating a Healthy Master Bedroom join me as we discover ways to create a breathtaking room and a  your very own love sanctuary.

Combining the most attractive and the cleanest lines. Adding prints to give a message and solids to ground us. The best thing about this podcast is that we go through the steps and just implementing a few of them, changes our reflection.  Remember that green design plays a big part here.  Air quality, low VOC paints, flooring and natural bedding all add that  whispering touch to your room.  But the average bedroom has very little cohesion, very little appeal.  The good news is that a bedroom can gain the sex appeal it needs for as little as $500.  But you have to be willing to make the changes necessary to make it the best, and most restful room in the home. Let's begin to draw the kind of love we desire into our life by paying attention to all the details and let our rooms tell the story of love and renewal. The time we spend in our bedrooms will be one of sleeping and dreaming, mature conversations and intimate interaction.  In our bedrooms we touch our spiritual and primal selves and this is where we awaken our highest self.   In Decorating a Healthy Master Bedroom join me as we discover ways to create a breathtaking room and a  your very own love sanctuary. Love, life and laugh often…Penny   Episode 3  If your one of the 700,00 people who purchased a new IPhone this last week, don't you think Healthy Home Decorating should be on your must have list of podcast subscriptions? tag:odeo.com,2007-07-06,23132369 Fri, 06 Jul 2007 12:54:40 -0700 no Healthy Home Decorating podcast, Blog http://odeo.com/episodes/14876263-Healthy-Home-Decorating-Episode-2-Create-a-Healthy-Living-Room tag:odeo.com,2007-06-18,14876263 Mon, 18 Jun 2007 13:24:00 -0700 no Healthy Home Decorating http://odeo.com/episodes/23132368-Healthy-Home-Decorating-Episode-2-Create-a-Healthy-Living-Room This is the first installment in our series on specific rooms in your home.  We start with the Living Room or " Life Room" as we call it.  You'll discover new ways to think about and create this most important space.  We are so excited to begin the series on Creating a Healthy Room.  The Holistic Living Room is the first.    In this episode I (Penny) started on do's and dont's that make the living room reflect the aspirations and dreams for all that live there.  It can really boggle the mind when we  think of the possibility that there is more to decorating than just making a room pretty.  What an impact our Living Rooms can make by simply being aware of their potential.   One day while conducting a workshop in Michigan I had a gal approach me after the class.  It's common for attendees to ask me questions about their own homes; after all this is very private and personal work and it'...

That one little question really took me back to why I do what I do.  Plus it is not an easy request to take tangible items like flooring, paint and draperies and use them to create a state of mind.  After a long pause I told her to begin in the living room because that is really the life-blood of our spaces.  Living rooms are the heart-beating, pulse of our life and they should be the reflection, a visual affirmation, of our true intention - our life missions if you will.  So many people are busy with just trying to accomplish all the things needed to do in a day  that they don't give any thought to any life mission or purpose.   Ask ten people that you know what they believe their life work is and they will tell you that they are too busy just trying to survive to think beyond that point.  But every single one of us, young or old, American or Asian; all have something special that only we can do and it is crucial to our conscious growth.  Creating spaces that remind us that we are each a necessary part of the whole helps us to stay focused and to look ahead.  Use your Life Room to support your self and your family by surrounding it with  memories and items that inspire.   If your feeling low, use colors like yellow and orange or large patterns to uplift and jazz life up a little.  Add a little contemporary flair to furniture legs and a piece of art work that makes a statement. To add peace remove the clutter, keep things simple and use neutrals; to curtail the chaos create a space that you feel you want to whisper in  by using over stuffed pillows and textured fabrics. To begin healing use earth tones and shades of green, natural flooring and fabrics.  Breathe life in to your Living Room and it will return the favor. Don't wait — start small begin today! Let me hear from you, we will be sharing your notes on future shows so keep on creating that Healthy Home!
