Jun 20, 2013: We wish you a wonderful summer ahead. Officially summer begins today and ends on September 22nd. Summer has sweet memories for most of us. As school children, summer was a time we looked forward to. We all know the best part, "no school!" Summer vacations involved travel to distant new places. We loved to travel though it was hot. It was a fantastic way to see new things and be amazed at the beauty of our planet. Wish you a Happy Summer!

Jun 11, 2013: Every summer as the heat steps up so does our utility bill. This year we are planning ahead on cutting back our energy consumption for the summer. It will do good to our environment and help us pocket a nice saving as well. After all, it makes sense to invest our hard earned dollars rather than giving them away to utility companies. Each dollar saved can help us go a long way if a rainy day comes along. So it makes all the more sense to maximize savings and optimize our energy footprint.Energy savings during the summer revolves around its optimization in three main zones, namely:

May 30, 2013: May has been named after the Greek goddess Maia. She was identified with Bona Dea, the Roman goddess of fertility, whose festival was held in May. It's also a month within the season of spring in the Northern hemisphere, and of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.Today we discovered a new fact about May. In Japan, there is a so-called 'May sickness', where new students or workers start to be tired of their new schoolwork or jobs. Wow! That calls for a break. Students in US should be thankful for the summer break. But sadly job holders like us get no break :(.
While looking forward to a great summer, let's "Retro-May" ...

May 09, 2013: At times the fast pace of our city lives appear stifling, making us long for a slower pace of life with more exposure to clean air and green vegetation. Our souls yearn for a simple life which is in greater harmony with Mother Nature. Of late, our work related health problems have been making us yearn, almost every morning, for a more relaxed life with greater freedom.So we were thrilled to read about Sandy Aldridge and Dale Lugenbehl who retired early (at ages 48 and 47 respectively) more than a dozen years ago to their eight-acre farm in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Though they did not have high paying jobs, their conscious choice and laser focus on leading a simple life with meaningful pursuits in a harmonious relationship with nature allowed them to kick the rat race early. Their philosophy was "living more simply so that others may simply live."
