Green Movement Gets A New Poster Girl!* And Her friends are Eco-Superheroes! (but for real*)
“OK, so it’s just me!…but there was no sense in waiting for the perfect Revolution!”
Plus, we’ve already been working on it…
When Abilene and I woke up this morning we thought we needed to find some money,
Abilene had some ideas…
But no one would exchange any of those things for a new sewing machine,
even though some could be important.
Maybe we need to change the rules…
because our pocket is filled with stories!
and we can be brave…
we already are!
In New Orleans, Liz is getting everyone thinking waste=resource,
and it’s working!
In Los Angeles, Megan‘s discovered that
as long as she keeps feeding everyone
her fridge just won’t quit!
Lindsay will capture your most treasured moment* on Polaroid!
(Below is the moment I decided to make cuffs out of eco-materials for everyone.
Thanks Lindsay!)
Call me what you want,
your new poster girl…
but the thing I do not have is money.
Waylon Lewis says that he’ll give me $100 for my blogs on this site,
but only if I can get 10 comments and 500 views in one week!
Can you help?
If you like what I’m doing, just drop a comment, like,
“keep it up, we wanna see more honey!”
There’s no waiting for the perfect Revolution!
The Revolution of the Mommies is here!
Light a candle and say a prayer,
this is going to be one mother (earth) of a revolution!

finally…a good reason to comment.
beautiful blog.
I really enjoy the poetry of your posts Joana, the simple and yet extraordinaire things of life you’re sharing with us. So yes, I hope to see more of them!
Love from rainy Belgium
Hi Joanna, I love your photographs, maybe you should look into working them into the cuffs… I would love to see pictures of the cuffs as well. Do you need a new sewing machine because your old one broke? Would it be too much to sew the cuffs by hand? GOOD LUCK!!
Glad to see you finally claim your rightful superhero status, Joana.
Joanna,
I’ll support you with this to continue being a ‘stay at home’ mom. (I guess I’m one to my parents now =).
‘Hope you can get that new sewing machine. I’m sure you’ll put it to good use!

Oh, you’re such a mindful mommy. And pretty super, too. You remind us that there is beauty in our trash, there is love all around us, and there is hope in simplicity, art, life.
loved wandering through your visual story.
rouse your confidence as things will work out.
you have an eye and a big heart.
keep going.
the ordinary life is the good life.
and loved the yellow butterfly barrette.
i love your posts. so artful. so inspirational. thanks super momma!
hey friend.
Keep the inspiration coming!
i am hoping you are warm in texas.
there is an 'arctic breeze' moving through florida.
thank you for always trying so hard to do such brave things.
You inspire me! Give Abilene a kiss from me.
Joanna,
Thanks. It’s good to see all of you and hope you are well.
You already got 13 comments, good going! Support her writing, ya’ll, forward this on and get her some views! elephant journal dot com unlike most sites actually pays our writers who write quality content that gets traction with our readership–we do indeed pay for blogs that are popular and appropriate to our mission and readers. Joana’s the best!
keep it up, dear one. we want to see more!
I love the photo of Abilene “thinking of ideas”, and the one of you in the red headband is totally reminiscent of “Wonder Woman”-only with more “style”!
[...] Yesterday Abilene and I came with our little seed… [...]
Jo,
The more you and the Mommies can come together the better for the world. I think my Mommy was in a class by herself as well.
Joanna,
Totally inspired, creative, beautiful, visionary that you are – I am loving your work and your mission! Keep it coming!

Thanks guys! Your words keep me going! It’s hard to keep believing when you’re creating in a bubble. But you know…it’s only a matter of time before this Revolution really gets kicking, on a massive scale! Have you noticed? Everyone everywhere is already talking about it (sort of)! But a Revolution has to come from the people, not the government, so the thing we need to do now is ‘Come Together!’ Tell your friends (if you want) Waylon and I are trying our hardest everyday on Elephant Journal! Let’s bring the Revolution in on the backs of elephants!
[...] Didn’t you just tell us last week that you needed a new sewing machine [...]
Lovely and Elegant posts- keep them up Super mama!
[...] It’s true! [...]
"cats don't eat seaweed, this is all for you baby" the padre says and domy gladly accepts, while i begrudgingly embrace elmo and begin to secretly adore him. he's perpetually 3 yrs old you know. anyway, i think brent mentioned to you that we should meet up soon (therefore i am brooke the madre). hope you and your family are well. these fuzzy little beasts all around me are interfering, must tend to their needs.
you are just, so fabulous
I like your stories. I like how you collect them and share them with us all. And I like the idea of cuffs, like a reminder of love, like the old string on the finger trick…
thank you…
These are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
