Crystalwings

I am a native of Arizona and, in fact, I spent my early years at the edge of the Navajo reservation and some of the Native American respect for the natural world must have rubbed off on me. I left the desert for a while and lived in the D.C. area but I never really went very far from the Southwest in my heart. Even today I make sure that all water taps are tightly turned off and that I am not using any chemicals that will leave a harmful mark around me. After several years in Virginia, I "went on the road" for over 15 years as a software consultant but I have returned to the Arizona Desert now and will never leave home again. Each morning, as I and my husband have breakfast, I look out over miles of desert valley in the background with dozens of feeding birds in the foreground and I am happy.

I have left the world of big business and bigger cities behind me but I have kept the mindset of the consultant. In that regard I feel very strongly that my purpose in this hub and in my life is to share what I know about living well in a healthy and ecologically safe home environment. I cannot change the global environment very easily, but I can show others how to change their own immediate surroundings into a more healthy and safe "small world after all".
