We are living in … challenging times.

Even a quick glance at the daily news is enough to make you want to pull the covers over your head and curl up until it passes. But that’s not really an option. Or at least not a good one.

It’s wiser and healthier, for all of us, to do our part to make things even just a little bit better. We’re not talking becoming a monk or a zero-waste radical vegan. We’re talking about trying to make a little progress, whenever and wherever we can – each of us in our own way.

That’s what Now with Purpose is about: simple, practical, achievable ways to live a little more thoughtfully, a little more purposefully.

And since “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” how about thirteen of ‘em?

This little book features a baker’s dozen of our most popular articles (literally including a little baking) that might help make your life a little more joyful and healthy. You thought you might like it. Our treat.

We hope these ideas might inspire you on your own journey. Do feel free to share this with anyone you think might like it, too. We are, as the saying goes, all in this together, so why not try to make things a little better for all of us?

Castile Liquid Soap is a safe, non-toxic, green, multi-purpose, multi-surface concentrate that is made with organic plant oils for your safety and for the safety of our planet. Cleans ALL water-safe surfaces.

The word Castile is a reference to La Castilla – a region in central Spain historically significant in the history of soapmaking. In America, Castile means any soap made with olive oil, often a liquid soap made from coconut and olive. Always check your ingredients – some companies add synthetic chemicals to their so-called castile soap!

Lemongrass has a very clean, citrusy aroma, with a touch of botanical grasses. It is the perfect scent for when you need an energy boost.

Ingredients: Saponified Organic Oils (Coconut, Olive and Jojoba), Lemongrass Essential Oil, Cedarwood Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Rosemary Extract, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Organic Aloe Vera

Dilutions Guide

HANDS and BODY: Use full strength or dilute up to 50%

DISHES: Saturate applicator with full strength castile soap and scrub. Add more as needed. Always soak tough stuff in soap and hot water first to loosen debris. Use some castile soap in your wash water, but utilize a soapy sponge or scrubber to do the bulk of the cleaning.

FLOORS: Add 3oz (6 tbsps) of Castile Liquid Soap to mop water. Clean as usual, and allow to dry.

WALLS & WOODWORK: Dilute 1/4 cup per 1 gallon of hot water. Clean, rinse and let dry.

LAUNDRY: Use about 1/3 cup per load – a little more for hard water. Castile Liquid Soap may be neutralized by detergent residues in the machine so use enough to get the barest start of foam on top. You may have to use a little extra the first time. Best to mix into warm water before adding the clothes. Great for hand-washing most silks and fine fabrics, wool and suede (may darken). Bleach compatible.

STAIN REMOVAL: Safe and effective. Wet surface and apply full strength. Work into the material from several directions and let sit a moment. Blot stain with cloth or towel and rinse.

CARPETS: Replaces detergent concentrates. Works well in all carpet cleaning machines and on stains.

GENERAL CLEANING: Fill a clean spray bottle with warm water, add 5% of concentrate, then spray & wipe. Great for ALL water-safe surfaces. Help eliminate the new plastic smell. Safe and non-toxic for humans, plants & pets.

BATHROOMS: Use full strength on sponge and rinse. For all porcelain and tile surfaces.

VEHICLES: Saturate sponge with Castile Liquid Soap. Work over vehicle in sections, wetting first, scrubbing and then rinsing. Always wash vehicles out of direct sunlight. Will slightly darken the most porous materials. Test on a small inconspicuous area prior to use.

The many amazing benefits of pure unrefined shea butter inspired us to create a shea butter soap bar. This creamy soap is a blend of unrefined shea butter added after the base oils have saponified, making this bar's lather rich in moisturizing shea. A splash of peppermint, lavender, and patchouli essential oils create a light fresh scent. Perfect for dry climates and dry sensitive skin. 

What we love about it:

• highly moisturizing bar

• unrefined shea nut butter: gentle & healing to the skin, luxuriously moisturizing

• peppermint essential oil: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, cooling, stimulating, gives a little tingle, helps clear mental fatigue

• lavender essential oil: antifungal + ant microbial, calms the skin and spirit, helps relieve feelings of stress

• patchouli essential oil: Known as a tissue regenerator, helps stimulate regrowth of skin cells, heals rough cracked skin

We are living in … challenging times.

Even a quick glance at the daily news is enough to make you want to pull the covers over your head and curl up until it passes. But that’s not really an option. Or at least not a good one.

It’s wiser and healthier, for all of us, to do our part to make things even just a little bit better. We’re not talking becoming a monk or a zero-waste radical vegan. We’re talking about trying to make a little progress, whenever and wherever we can – each of us in our own way.

That’s what Now with Purpose is about: simple, practical, achievable ways to live a little more thoughtfully, a little more purposefully.

And since “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” how about thirteen of ‘em?

Here's an easy way to become a virtual Qi Gong master yourself! Get the "best of Lee Holden" in one place: five DVDs and a CD:

QiGong for Beginners (DVD): A great way to begin your practice. Featured on PBS stations nationwide. It's a gentle moving meditation that releases tension, cultivates energy, and builds your own sense of inner balance and harmony.

QiGong for Upper Back and Neck Pain (DVD): After a long day, this routine does the trick to "unkink" a common trouble spot. Computers, cell phones, and too much pressure from everyday life can create tension, stiffness, and pain in our neck and upper back.

(Some exercises in this routine are performed seated and others are done standing.)

QiGong for Low Back Pain (DVD): Relax your back with this soothing workout. Created by Qi Gong Master Lee Holden (and featured on PBS stations nationwide), Qi Gong for Low Back Pain builds strength, alleviates pain, and clears tension in the lower back, as well as throughout the entire body.
