My Life at it's finest!

I was born and raised in Hayward, Wisconsin, I aquired a taste for nature at it's finest and rarest, as a child I would sit next to the Namekagen River with just the sound of rippling water and nature. I prized the earth I walked on and still do. Living close to Lake Superior, we would take Sunday afternoon rides, my father showed us many secret places, We visited vast water falls, rambling shores, secride Indian Burial Grounds, Eagle Nests, and "The Biggest Tree" in Wisconsin. I grew up thinking that this tree truely was the biggest tree, and in my heart it remains the biggest tree.
I now live in Illinois and have for several years, but my heart and sole is still, sitting next to the Namekagan River. I work very hard to be environmently aware. I believe as a world we should respect and treasure our earth. Attempt to live as green as possible.I can remember, in second grade, the Department of Natural Resources, visited our school with a eco van, the displays included toilet paper that had been colored and an explaination of what inpact it had on the environment, to this day I will not purchase colored toilet paper.Well, with that little bit of information, my life was impacted, and 40 some years later, I make natural skin care products, natural household cleaners, natural candles, natural soap (not the melt and pour) the real stuff, the kind that is made from scratch.What more can I tell you, I love nature, it's gifts and want to see it perserved.
