12 days til Small Business Saturday ~ The Ethical Black Friday! (This one's for the boys!)

Good evening beautiful ones!

It's time for your daily sneak peek during our countdown to Small Business Saturday~ and this one's for the boys!  

We'll be giving you a sneak peek every day of 2 of the best gifts we are offering this holy day season~ 1 gift available only in our physical store, Milk & Honey, and 1 gift available only through our online store, www.milk-and-honey.com. 

(For all the details, please read our blog titled: Black Friday? Heck no! How's about Small Business Saturday instead?)

 

Our first item, available only in our physical store, is an amazing sandstone carving of Green Man.

 "The figure known as the Green Man is a god of vegetation and plant life. He symbolizes the life that is found in the natural plant world, and in the earth itself. Consider, for a moment, the forest. In the British Isles, the forests a thousand years ago were vast, spreading for miles and miles, farther than the eye could see. Because of the sheer size, the forest could be a dark and scary place. However, it was also a place you had to enter, whether you wanted to or not, because it provided meat for hunting, plants for eating, and wood for burning and building. In the winter, the forest must have seemed quite dead and desolate... but in the spring, it returned to life. It would be logical for early peoples to have applied some sort of spiritual aspect to the cycle of life, death and rebirth."

Our 2nd featured item is a sub-lingual elixir and is available only on-line in our herbal elixirs section at www.milk-and-honey.com.  Plus, it's made by the same folks who make our drinkable elixirs in our Goddess Lounge Cafe!

The Bridge: Male Transformational Support Sub Lingual Elixir

"Supports the male system before, during and after intense periods of growth & integration. Assists in release of old patterns. Aids in healing deep wounds.  Grounds and enhances connection to the Divine Feminine. Balances excess heart yang and fortifies heart yin. Calms and clears the mind. Cuts through illusion bringing truth and clarity.  Integrates the feminine and masculine side of any one individual. This elixir is incredibly grounding."

13 Days til Small Business Saturday ~ The Ethical Black Friday!

Good evening beautiful ones!

It's time for your daily sneak peek during our countdown to Small Business Saturday!  

We'll be giving you a sneak peek every day of 2 of the best gifts we are offering this holy day season~ 1 gift available only in our physical store, Milk & Honey, and 1 gift available only through our online store, www.milk-and-honey.com. 

(For all the details, please read our blog titled: Black Friday? Heck no! How's about Small Business Saturday instead?)

Our first item, available only in our physical store, is the beautiful, locally designed, goddess statue of Gaia.  She makes an impressionable gift! 

"This exquisite figurine, The Millennial Gaia, brings our new evolving consciousness of the Earth into a physical form. She is an invitation to each and every human being to enter consciously into the myth and story of the living Earth and to respond to Her as our Mother, as the larger being of which we are all part. No matter what language you speak, no matter where on Earth you come from, you can hold The Millennial Gaia in your hands and hear Her message. This lovely figure of the living Earth has Her own voice. 

And if you live with Her in your home, workplace, school, or place of worship, 

She will speak to you, too."

Our second featured item is the beautiful, pendant of Gaia, available in both sterling silver, and 14K gold, only though our jewelry section on our eCommerce website, www.milk-and-honey.com.

Made by K Robins, an independent jewelry maker, 

who shares about her inspiration for this piece: 

"I have always felt a close connection with Mother Earth,
as seen in my art and lifestyle. The Gaia piece was the second design I created.
A few years ago, I had the idea for a hands-on, in-the-studio, community art project
to create images of Mother Earth for placement in gardens, meditation spaces and gathering places.  These images would serve as gentle reminders to take care of our beautiful planet. Our Gaia Project was born, and we are networking with people who are creating, inspiring, teaching and demonstrating sustainable lifestyles."

Finding, following, and surrendering to the flow

Hello beauties~


I have been learning so much this year about eCommerce by launching our full service, eCommerce website, www.milk-and-honey.com.  For instance, I learned that in the world of eCommerce, 30.8 billion dollars was spent online in 2010, and the projections for 2011 are even higher.

In the past I have been very resistant to technology.  In fact, I spent 2 years living off the grid, and only by candlelight for 5 months out of every year.  Instead of having a TV or a computer, I filled pages and pages of journal after journal.  I didn't even get a cell phone until 2009!  I felt righteous in my resistance to technology for almost a decade.

At some point in my evolutionary path I began to realize that resistance takes energy.  While the global energy is moving in the direction that technology is taking us, I wondered how much energy I would free up inside myself if I surrendered to the change rather than resisted?  How could I maintain my connection to that which is sacred, while still being a part of the global change?

I am fortunate enough to own Milk & Honey, a business that is deeply rooted in sacred commerce with a strong philanthropy practice.  I feel so blessed for the opportunity to expand my own horizons as I introduce Milk & Honey to Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube.  I'm finding, following, and surrendering to the flow, and I must admit, it feels pretty darn good!  Because Milk & Honey provides intentional gifts that often have meaning from different cultures around the globe, it feels great to know that avenues such as sacred eCommerce and the world wide web are interconnecting us and moving us toward the global community that is often reflected in the intentional gifts we provide.

Pictured here is beautiful, original art called "The New Earth".  It is available in the form of a journal or as a matted print.

Thank you for being a part of the New Earth we are co-creating with one another!

Be well beauties~
