How to begin...

Sometimes one just grows into a new concept or direction without too much conscious thought. Other times it is a conscious decision. 
For me the organic way of life began pretty slowly over a course of time. For my dear friend Stevie life changed pretty quickly with a serious health scare. 

It can also become just part of who you are. My husband, Steve,  is so happy on what he calls his organic Saturdays. Not driving his car anywhere, exercising by biking the causeways, or while he could playing tennis at Flamingo Park. He loves to meet friends for dinner at a restaurant we can walk to. Yes,  a little casual at times as we walk  in,  flip flops in tow. It makes Steve feel he is doing his part to tread a little softer. Is it every Saturday?  I wish I could say it is, but as in many things in life you make adjustments. The boys still need to get to their team practices, and I still am drawn to the organic market in Coconut Grove on Saturdays. 
When it works though...it is a most beautiful Saturday.

 The idea is to head in the organic direction  at ones own pace. Perhaps it is just recognizing that when there are two varieties of Driscoll strawberries reach for the organic one. Perhaps you check out vitalchoice.com for organic wild salmon,  the difference in price will be so worthwhile  as you feel healthier in mind and body.  

(FYI:organic produce begins with a #9,  conventional #4)
