Ebola – A Nurse’s Perspective by Robert McClellan Many of you know that I possess a nursing license. I don’t dare say “I’m a Nurse,” because I haven’t touched a patient in nearly five years. However, I have worked in a variety of health care environments, from Cardiac Cath Labs to the ER at Florida State Prison. I know a thing or two about isolation precautions, personal protection equipment and body fluids. Perhaps from my experience working at a prison, surrounded by, and treating such a high-risk population as male inmates, I’ve become acutely aware of how easy it…
How to Make Earth-Friendly Cleaning and Beauty Supplies Save money and save the planet by making your own time-saving organic cleaners. There are many ways to save water and use less toxic chemicals in your life.

If you have seen the film We Are Water, you’ve already been introduced to the concept of a water footprint. It takes water to grow, nurture and process the foods we eat every day. This article in Huffington Post this morning, helps put a number on the gallons of water per pound required for food production. After reading it, I hope you’ll consider eating a little less meat and being at least a part time vegetarian. It is good for the planet!
This article in the Daily Beast confirms a simple truth. As we lose large areas of ice cover, the earth changes in dramatic ways. When I wrote the movie Ice Island in 2000, I learned that the ice was so thick over Antarctic that is squeezed the earth into a slight pear shape. The large mass also affects gravity and as we shift mass around the planet by melting ice, there are documentable changes that are happening very quickly. The Daily Beast sums it up well.
I’m so proud to announce that my husband Robert McClellan has released his first book. It has been a real journey of discovery for him. I recall the day almost eight years ago, when he expressed the desire to share his story. The revelations he shares in Boom Baby Boom represent a lifetime of challenge, discovery and hard knocks. We’ve been married for seven years and he has been an incredible asset to Heinerth Productions as a writer, producer and talented audio engineer. We’re both explorers in life, but his unique social perspective was formed on the working class streets of Philadelphia,…
Dr. Simon Mitchell of New Zealand, recently conducted a study that will no doubt rock diver’s understanding of their pre-breathe sequence. The study has not yet been published, but Mitchell felt it was important enough to present a preview at Eurotek last weekend in Birmingham, England. He also posted to CCR Explorers today. He says: I presented two studies at Eurotek. The first aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the 5 minute prebreathe in evaluation of CO2 scrubber function prior to diving a rebreather. This has been a controversial subject and we sought to gather some definitive data. Since this…
I’ve worked hard over the years to learn how to be a better steward of our planet and use less resources. I’ve also dedicated myself to finding products that are gentler on my body and the planet. I’ve collected and edited recipes for cleaning products and found natural beauty solutions that are more inline with my life philosophy. I decided to combine these into a small book so that others can share in this resource. I’m going to make it available on Kindle and other digital distribution networks and also print a limited number of paperbacks, understanding that some people will…
