I’m a writer/reporter/over-analyzer/journalist/thinker/traveler/art enthusiast always looking for a new adventure. In October 2011, I finally started the Massachusetts adventure I’d been wanting for so long. I miss Michigan every day, but love New England, its history, mom-and-pop Worcester restaurants and the lush green of the hilly land!
My Favorite Worcester Tree and Me, 03.2012
In 2009, I found a new passion in combining my loves of sharing information, writing and making myself and the world healthier, hoping to find “a better way to be.” And this blog is the documentation of that, although sometimes I get lost. And sometimes I drift away from the blogosphere for too long.
I am thrilled that this blog is one you’ve decided to devote some clicks and minutes of your Web surfing to. Thanks for checking out what I’m doing and please come back soon for more.
Please feel free to drop me a line, some love, ideas, questions, concerns or anything else here or at jg.betterway@gmail.com. It makes me so happy to hear from you and to know that other people out there care about making things better too!
Love love.

A great message. Just want to share with a quote from one of my mentors. (Mr John Bates – a very smart man!) The essence of it was – ‘Leave everything you come across a little bit better than you found it. This includes people and things.’
A smile, talk to someone who looks down, pick up that rubbish, recycle. What a wonderful idea – your post is doing exactly That.
Thank-you!

hi, I’ve bookmarked your blog on my list of ‘green’ sites – welcome to the worldwide network of people trying to find, as you put it, ‘a better way to be’. I’m in London, UK – where are you?
I commented on your post from my swimming club site by accident. I thought I was on my personal site (see attached website). Although I’m sure the people in my swimming club would like to impove things as well.
Would you believe that I am from High Wycombe in Western Australia. (Which is next to Maida Vale)
You can’t tell where the people who named our suburbs came from, can you!

Wow Australia & London! Very cool. I’m from Michigan in the U.S. I’m very appreciative that you’ve bookmarked my blog Martha! Thank you!
And Alan, that is a great quote and one we should all try to live by. It’s right up there with “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” If we all just did that…
nice site you got here! I’m just starting out with blogging and helping save earth in my own small way. your blog posts motivated me to keep on learning and finding more ways to be green. more power to you!
Thank you so much! That is so awesome to hear that my posts are helping keep you motivated. I am learning new things every day that make me feel that way. It’s really exciting — and amazing to learn so much!
