Please help donate to Janie's Fund! Steven Tyler and Edie Allen give back

I need your help!  Ever heard the song by Aerosmith, "Janie's got a gun"? It is a song about a young girl abused by her family. Unfortunately, this happens more than you think. Steven Tyler is opening up another Janie's House on February 10th, and my life coach and dear friend Edie Allen is speaking at the Grammy Viewing Party in LA - www.janiesfund.org.

Beach Erosion and Renourishment at Folly Beach, SC

Have you noticed increased sand, rocks, and groin size at Folly Beach lately?  Folly Beach had received a $10 million dollar grant in 2018 from the Army Corps of Engineers for beach renourishment.  As you may or may not know- Folly Beach has had its share of concerns over beach erosion due to a few factors.  One (and the most important) reason for the erosion of sand on Folly is due to the Charleston jetties in the Harbor.  The Charleston jetties were constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers years ago, in order to preserve the deep, dredged channels extending outwards to the Atlantic Ocean for container ships inbound and outbound through the Port of Charleston.  The unfortunate byproduct of these jetties are that they are blocking the natural flow of…

Is Your Home a Reflection of You?

We all use our home as our place to reside- but it's much more than that.  It reflects our personality, our character, and our sense of style.  But a home is also a place where we can get very creative and express our talents.  It's an opportunity to go against the grain and not be so "cookie-cutter".

Here are some pretty amazing homes from around the world, where many of these folks have gotten very creative.

The following is a bio-climatic solar house in Eastern France.  The house was designed as a three-dimensional sundial that keeps cool in the summer months, and warmer in the winter months:

This one is a sun-dried brick home in Mexico and is 130 feet in diameter, with a large natural boulder as its roof:
