This week’s mini-show leads off with info about Darin Olien and the work he is doing around the globe to get people back on track with what they eat. Next, a clever PDX artist gets real with vintage collage and I give two thumbs up (or maybe that should be two feet in the air) for a lighthearted look at yoga in Enlighten Up!

Clearing for a Cause
It’s hard not to be inspired by the work going on at Out To Pasture. One very compassionate couple started from scratch, learning as they went along and over the years created a non-profit animal sanctuary just outside Portland, OR. OTP is dedicated to providing permanent housing and care for abused, neglected or abandoned animals including large farm animals, pigs, rabbits, chickens and dogs.
How can you help and get clear at the same time? OTP holds two major garage sales a year to help support their work. Donations can be made by dropping off your items at the address below. In addition, the sanctuary keeps a current “wish list” on their website of things they are needing. Take a look to see where you can help. This is a great place to keep in mind for those of you who have horses or backyard chickens and want to unload extra feed or straw. They are also always happy to get igloos or wooden dog houses. Garage Sale Donations are collected during April and May for the OTP Memorial Day Sale. Drop off at 2907 NE Weidler Street, PDX. OTP holds a summer sale as well – check their website for date.
Good Side of Bad Weather
The surest way to beat the blues of bad weather or tough times is to do something to help out yourself or someone else. And one of my favorite ways of doing both is to CLEAR out your stuff. Next time you are snowed in or feeling snowed under, here are 4 simple, FREE ways to feel better:
- Open up your junk drawer(s) and start purging.
- Get out your photos and sort them into envelopes to send to your loved ones – or scan into your computer for easy storage.
- Clear up your email Inbox. Archive or delete old correspondence.
- Go through your kitchen cupboards and discard any expired items.
Remember to recycle and reuse what you can. Don’t hold on to outdated anything. Clearing your place will have an immediate “feel lighter” effect on you and it’s a productive, proactive way to beat the blues and make the world a brighter place. Note: While you are clearing out, think about doing more precycling and easing your burdens by buying less to begin with … what a great way to welcome in a new year!
