From All Hallows’ Even to Halloween

Published by webmistress under Awareness

Smileycons! The word Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, was shortened from All Hallows’ Even – e’en is a shortening of even, which is a shortening of evening. Holiday roots trace back to the Celtic festival of Samhain as well as the Christian day of All Saints. In the 800s, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were once celebrated on the same day.

The Prince for the Planet

Published by webmistress under Awareness

My friend Eileen, author of FeistySideoFfifty.com, recently had the amazing opportunity of  interviewing the Prince’s Communication’s Secretary, Paddy Harverson. You can listen to the interview here. Harverson shares important  information about the The Prince’s Rainforests Project (PRP), which was set up in 2007. The Prince of Wales has long been concerned about climate change and about how destruction of the world’s rainforests contributes to rising temperatures and sea levels.  I wanted to participate in spreading awareness of this and I hope you can take a moment to tune into Eileen’s interview to learn more about this cause.

See RainforestSOS project (rainforestsos.org) for more information about PRP.
