About me: I am a creative junkie and PlanetPinknGreen.com is my blog. I am fueled by passion and get off on stuff like visionaries and entrepreneurs who care about humanity and the environment. My purpose on this planet is to explore, inspire and celebrate things that are innovative and different and that come in all colors, shapes and sizes, pink and green included. If you haven’t already guessed, pink refers to the female view of things and green to the masculine perspective. Together they create the yin and the yang balance needed to heal the planet.
You’ll often see me blogging about my own life experiences like how changing the paint in my living room has changed my life or how I embrace forgiveness instead of rage. I call those love notes from Cheryl. I am decadent I’ll admit and covet high design especially when it is both beautiful and earth loving. However, sometimes it's the simple things that move me, like how speaking your truth is sexy or how some eco-roofs remind me of my own curly hair.
I talk about a lot about different things here on MySpace and on Planet Pink n' Green and I’m very visual about it. Good European design, feng shui and novelist Paulo Coelho happen to be among my favorite things to muse about. I also offer free design advice called ‘Design Q&A’ and encourage anyone to ask questions relating to their own design challenges.
I started Planet Pink n’ Green (http://www.planetpinkngreen.com)about a year ago in Portland, Oregon as a natural extension of my former work as an interior designer and feng shui consultant. I found myself, in an effort to keep costs down for my clients, referring them to big box stores for furniture and decorative items. Eventually I had a crisis of conscience and knew I needed to make a change. I decided to go out into the community, and find resources that were beautiful as well as earth friendly (pink and green) and ended up producing and starring in video blogs that highlighted some eco-chic pioneers. It was really scary yes, but also exciting and important in raising awareness around entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations who were re-shaping the way the world conducted business. I’m happy to report that I see that trend growing. You can watch the videos on the video page of the blog and also see me samba dancing; another favorite activity of mine.
Planet Pink n’ Green continues to evolve and grow in many directions. Really it is just a place to celebrate the best parts of being human. It’s also a growing collective of people who contribute their unique stories, get inspired and passionate about ideas, and come together in a commitment to care for our surroundings. The world is changing, and I’m really grateful to be alive and to be contributing solutions.

Thanks for adding Carnaval Brasileiro as a friend. I think you'll love our little party. The music's gonna be hot! Costumes hotter! Drums, samba and non-stop dancing.
Thank you for joining our circle of friends. Welcome. - We would like to invite you to visit our website and read about the variety of different free, healthy and life saving solutions, available right now, that we can all take advantage of, to save our one and only home Planet Earth, and to ensure a sustainable green future for all of us, the humankind.
We must keep in mind that, united we stand and prosper, but divided, we have been falling for many, many years. Let us learn how to unite and work together, let us learn how to transform the information offered on our website, into positive and constructive action, in order to solve humanity’s major ecological problems, One Problem, at a time. - Ranking number 1, on top of our list of major manmade environmental problems, obviously is the Global Warming.
Keep in mind that silence solves nothing, it never has, and it never will. Our silence will encourage more environmental devastation, violence and corruption at all levels, all over the world. Our silence will help to defeat and silent the peaceful ethical voices of reason and common sense. - It is our civic duty and moral obligation, to get involved and never be silent, to solve our many problems, by simply casting the light of truth and exposing the source of the problem, followed by enlightening educational measures to solve the problem through a peaceful conflict resolution.
There are only 2 ways of spreading the light of truth and hope, either to be the source of light, truth and hope, The Projector, or be The Mirror, that spreads and reflects the light of truth and hope to others, which one are you? - Next time you see the angelic smile of sweet, innocent little angels, our children, running around, growing up in this world, stop and think for just 1 minute, think about what kind of a polluted Home, we are raising them in, and the Home we are leaving behind for them.
Unimaginable human suffering and mass animal extinction from global warming. A national security nightmare brought on by our dependence on foreign oil. A peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse.
Thanks for keeping the light on! Our lives are so linked to one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good…

Hello gorgeous! I wanted to let you know I have a show this Saturday at the Someday Lounge. 9pm-2am. I already invited Linda. I'll be showing 18 original peices. I hope you're in town. I'll call you tomorrow to schedual. loves and kisses! Emie
We got to hear speakers like Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul books), John Gray (Mars/Venus books), Dr. Becky Natrajan (Isagenix), many of the Isagenix Trainers & Top Leaders (Susan Sly, Lenny Evans, Luna Pang, etc.), John Anderson (formulator of the Isagenix products), and Jim & Kathy Coover (Isagenix Pres. & VP)!
One of the highlights of the awards ceremony was to see Elisa Wheeler & Liz Clarno walk the stage to receive their CRYSTAL EXECUTIVE awards. This award is given to those consultants who give the gift of Isagenix to 10 people and those 10 people give the gift of Isagenix to 2 people. The network of 30 people must be achieved within the first 6 months of beginning your home business! It's a remarkable award to be honored with!!! Congratulations Elisa & Liz!
Our most memorable moment from this trip would have to be meeting Dr. John Gray in person. Graham actually set this whole scenario up without me knowing about it. I was listening to a keynote speaker and Graham found out that John Gray would be signing books. He talked to John's personal assistant and told her (and later John) about our story…did I forget to mention that Graham came to get me from listening to that keynote speaker! He told me that John Gray wanted to meet me!!! I was overwhelmed with emotion. How do you thank someone who has given you LIFE! The only way I feel this can be accomplished is to continue being an advocate for his books, his line of Mars/Venus products, & continue to LIVE a healthy and happy life!
We are so blessed to be a part of the Isagenix family! Go Team Rocky!
Rocky is our Team Leader & #33 Top Earner in the Isagenix Family!
