Conscious Gift guide
Mother Nature, Gaia, planet Earth - home we all share. Energetically speaking it is a feminine aspect of creation, she supports us all, she gives birth, she sustains and nourishes. And more often than not we take it for granted. Last couple of years , albeit challenging in many ways, also had many silver linings attached to them. They illuminated few important themes, serving as a catalyst for many to dig deep and find out their true values. As we were pushed to be less connected to each other and Nature, many started to appreciate all those things we used to take for granted. Additionally, as we faced something totally unprecedented - our resilience was tested and many of us started to take our health and well-being more seriously. You can say that what is emerging for many as a result of the events of the last two years, is a more conscious approach to life, more holistic view of oneself, as well as the interconnectedness of all things on this planet.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) will be the new “bottom line”
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts are now an integral element for organizational success. As such, disregarding them is a disastrous step for corporations and countries. For me, ESG investing goes beyond the three letters acronym to address how a company serves workers, communities, customers, shareholders and the global environment.

Nature Can Be a Mother When She’s Angry
Hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, tornados, wildfires, floods, droughts, polar vortex, failed and destroyed crops and similar events appear to be increasing on our planet. Added to pandemics, diseases, cancers and infections that are evolving to be more resistant to our treatments. Why is this all happening? From a scientific position many point to climate change to blame for some of these, others believe technology and mankind’s altering and polluting of the planet has influenced some other of these troubles. I say overpopulation.

The Chicken Farmer
THE CHICKEN FARMER The moon was full, the month was February, and the air frigid. The farmer was awakened by poultry distress cries and cackles. He knew instantly a fox or coyote was in the hen house. Snow and ice had blocked the door open, and he hadn’t had time to get it fixed. An unspoken voice screamed in his brain that he had to protect his birds from this demon.

Reflections in the Water
Author's note: all links are underlined. It was a dreary day in September when Captain Billy Tyne and crew set off on what would ultimately be their final journey as sword fishermen. The crew of the longliner, the Andrea Gail, owned by Bob Brown, a notorious and evident taskmaster of a captain, had spent many years in an industry which was the lifeblood of the coastal town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, the oldest fishing port in America with a long history and many tales to tell.

Why You Can No Longer Appreciate The Stars
Let's create a scenario. One summer night, you want to chill and read under the cover of the night's sky. You gather up your things and go outside. You are expecting to look up and see the stars but no. There is none. Not even little specs of stars right above. There is just blackness, nothing to gaze to. At least the moon is still there right?

Reflection on 2021 G20’s Impacts and Outcomes. Top Story - December 2021.
This year G20 took place in Rome, Italy under the Italian Prime Minister Leadership. This summit had a bigger task than usual, given that the global economy lost more than $ 8 trillion in GDP since Covid began in 2020. This summit became the facto the opening ceremony for the COP26 Climate Summit which started on November 1st in the UK. The G20 was established in 1999 as a consultation forum for the world largest economies, while giving a stronger representation to those economies not included in the G7. This consultative group (led by Minister of Finance and Central Bank Governors) aims to ensure that the international community is equipped and coordinated in its efforts to build a stronger financial system, while also focusing on sustainability and international development. The G20 include 19 countries plus the European Union. These countries combined represent approximately 90% of global GDP, 80% of global trade, and 74% of global carbon emission. Several key G20 countries, namely Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa did not attend in person. China is the largest carbon emitters, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, respectively are the second and third largest oil producers in the world. Their absence in Rome, sent a negative message in terms of their commitment to help manage the climate crisis.

Growing up on Earth
The year is 2050. Your daughter is 37 years of age and just became a mom herself. Earth has been depleted of almost all its fossil fuels. Oil, a fossil fuel used to power our vehicles, machinery, ships, industries, airplanes and all else that allowed a comfortable life during the past century has been completely or nearly all used up. The mom and the baby struggle to survive. Days are cold. Nights are long. There is little hope in sight.
