How to Protect Our Animal Friends

When you go on an outing, take responsibility and make sure to take out what you bring with you. Garbage not only makes our beaches ugly, it poses a threat to the animals and the environment.

Google images of "turtle straw" or "turtle plastic" or even "marine life pollution" to see some of the effects of our lack of responsibility.

It just takes a little more preparation to help save the environment. Bring a garbage bag with you. Think about the wind...empty cans, plastic bottles and wrappers are easily blown away.

If on a boat, don't set your things on the edge where they can get knocked into the water. Empty cans will blow out of cup holders (you can even fill them with the water until you are docked where you can empty it back into the ocean/lake and drop it in the recycle bin).

Think about how you will weigh items down if it is windy. Instead of plastic wrap or baggies, pack your food in reusable plastic containers. I will use takeaway containers and then rinse them and throw them in the recycle bins after my picnic.

Ditch the straws! Bring reusable water bottles. And make sure to look around after you pack up to make sure you haven't left anything but footprints.

While moving around the world with her husband’s job, Darby became a University Director of Academic Computer Services and instructor, a Dale Carnegie facilitator, an Elementary School teacher, a Pilates trainer and studio owner. Her world travels allowed her the opportunity to experience different cultures, religions, races, and economic classes which lends to her flexibility and open-minded nature.

In 2009, Darby’s husband was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. After nine months of guiding and supporting her husband and family, he passed away. This tragic life event guided Darby to discover energy healing and life coaching. Being certified in these fields synchronized all of her passions and skill sets- her technical and analytical abilities learned as a computer programmer and problem solver, her relationship building abilities she mastered as a Dale Carnegie instructor, her passion for exploration and curiosity as a teacher of children, and her appreciation of health and well being as a professional Pilates trainer. Solving problems, deepening relationships, exploring possibilities, and physical wellbeing all blend beautifully in Darby’s client focused approach to healing.

Darby has a gift for seeing the good in all and making the most of each moment. Many of the tools Darby brings to the partnership come from personal experiences and Darby’s ability to see every life challenge as a gift. She truly feels that we all have the ability to live a life of love, compassion and peace.
