Earth Day is celebrated every April 22nd to remind us of our responsibility to safeguard and nurture our planet. People worldwide contribute and show their love for Mother Earth in various ways on this day. Home gardening is amongst the most practical and rewarding ways to do so because you get to reap what you sow. It requires time and dedication, but its long-term benefits for a greener, more sustainable future are invaluable.
Let’s dig into how home gardening supports the Earth’s well-being:
Reduces Food Waste
On average, fruits and vegetables contribute about 45% of global food waste. With home gardening, you can harvest only what you need. Instead of buying produce at stores, which often comes in large quantities, there’s less chance of having extra fruits and vegetables go to waste if you grow them yourself. Whether they come from a small backyard or pots on a home balcony, you can still make a big impact by mitigating environmental pollution and conserving resources.
Reduces Carbon Footprint
If you cultivate your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs at home, you can decrease the carbon footprint involved in transporting food from farms to grocery stores to your home. Think about the miles your tomatoes or lettuce travel before they end up on your plate! Transporting fruits and vegetables contributes to 36% of food miles emissions, which is about twice the greenhouse gases released during production. With home gardening, you cut down on those miles and carbon emissions, helping to combat climate change in your own small way.
Preserves Biodiversity
Home gardens provide habitats for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds. These pollinators play a vital role in the reproduction of plants and help maintain biodiversity. By planting a variety of plants and keeping your garden clean and healthy, you can attract many species that help support ecological balance. Your role as a home gardener is significant in shaping a healthier planet for many other living organisms.
Improves Soil Health
When you think of gardening, caring for the plants is the first thing that comes to mind. However, it also entails caring for the soil. Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful garden. Applying mulch, composting organic matter, and using natural fertilizers for your crops can help them thrive while enriching the soil with essential nutrients. These methods help prevent soil erosion. Your garden not only flourishes but also becomes a nurturing space that cares for Mother Earth.
Encourages Sustainable Practices
Home gardening encourages sustainable practices through a variety of methods. You can recycle organic kitchen scraps, yard waste, and plant trimmings by composting them. You can also upcycle containers for your plants and reuse materials to create raised beds, borders, and pathways to minimize waste sent to landfills. To reduce gardening costs, save seeds for replanting or collect rainwater to use later for watering. Your garden is a nurturing space that offers many opportunities to promote environmental stewardship. Take action and lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
Home gardening is more than just a hobby – it’s a meaningful way to care for the Earth and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future. Let’s celebrate Earth Day and remember the profound impact that our everyday actions can have. Together, we can cultivate a greener, more resilient world for generations to come. Start your home garden now!
Jumpstarting Your Career: An Interview with Joana Donovan
Are you feeling frustrated with the job market and not receiving any calls after sending out your resume? Meet Joana Donovan, the Owner of Propel Resume and Career Services. Joana goes beyond making recommendations for optimizing your resume. She will truly get to know your strengths and partner with you to help you secure that next job you’ve been seeking for months. The work she does is truly transformative.
I asked Joana why someone needs a little help from a professional when it comes to preparing a resume these days. See her video response.
AW: What makes you stand apart from other resume services?
JD: With a typical resume service, you can get lost as no element of personalization is involved. You can spend $75 to $150 with a large resume firm. As a boutique firm, I deeply dive into each job seeker’s background and become their career partner. They have a confidant and guru in their corner to field questions and bounce off ideas. In my personalized approach, I treat people the way I would want to be treated and provide the one-on-one service they deserve. It’s essential to demonstrate professional growth, evolution, and continuous learning on a business and personal level. Could people use AI? Sure. It won’t look, sound, and feel like the individual.
AW: What are some of the ways that you optimize a resume for LinkedIn or other digital platforms?
JD: There are two parts to this process. First, we work on their resumes and build out their professional stories. Once the content is set, we cover the “how to” basics of job searching and how to best showcase oneself on LinkedIn. I do a comprehensive live training session on content building, skills, networking, engagement, and setting up the platform’s backend to ensure hiring managers find them and their career documents.
AW: What common problems or mistakes do you see on people’s original resumes?
JD: First, the verb tense needs to be more consistent. Next, emails could be more professional; some are still college emails. Jobs are not listed chronologically or in an order that makes sense. Some people still list hobbies – it is not necessary.
With new AI innovations like ChatGPT, people think they can use AI to field answers to challenging questions in an interview. AI is not human and, therefore, cannot tell you whether you are hitting the pain points the company is looking for in a new candidate. Interviewing is the art of selling yourself. You cannot use AI for it. AI doesn’t know you and cannot write your professional story.
AW: Tell us about some of your testimonials.
JD: My favorite was a woman who was a bit skeptical at first. When we finished, she wrote a review stating, “OMG! I would hire me!” There are some excellent testimonials on our website: https://propelresume.com/testimonials-1
AW: Tell us about your e-Book.
JD: It’s preparation for creating an elevator pitch. It explores your Value Proposition and helps you identify, “What do you bring to the table?” It analyzes your language and messaging to deliver something that represents you. If you buy nothing else, invest in this step-by-step process. Besides, it’s a steal at only $.99 – https://propelresume.com/services/ols/categories/e-books
AW: At what point did you decide to become a writer, and at what point did you decide to help people with their resumes? What’s your background?
JD: My parents were both from other countries (Brazil and Tunisia), and I learned to speak English from watching Sesame Street as a child. Since I felt like I was operating at a deficit, I always took creative writing classes to improve. In my professional field, I have worked in industries like real estate, finance, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. In 2017, I returned to school and earned my BA in English, specializing in Technical Communications from UCF. My degree in tech comm helps me develop resumes focusing on accessibility, symmetry, design, and the overall reader experience. It is important to give readers a pleasant experience, so they read the entire resume. My work in a call center helped me learn about people and adapt to different cultures. I learned business etiquette and the valuable practice of adaptability. People appreciate that connection, making them feel comfortable speaking with me. I provide a safe space as employment transition is one of the most emotional positive and negative experiences. I also bring my diverse background when understanding someone else’s career journey. It is all part of being their career partner.
AW: What’s the most challenging thing about today’s job market?
JD: There’s so much candidate competition. Many job seekers need to be more flexible in the marketplace (i.e., only wanting remote positions or a particular job title). Covid set a new standard (WFH) that makes people more selective in their next role. As a job seeker, it is vital to put yourself in the hiring manager’s shoes. Those professionals are inundated with thousands of applicants and need help weeding through the stack of resumes to find the golden egg. Today, they use ATS Software (Applicant Tracking Software) to vet out qualified candidates by setting up parameters that meet the job opportunity. Resume writers walk a tightrope: write for AI and a human. There is no magic or secret sauce. However, if there is excellent communication between the job seeker and the writer, the writer will capture the essence and experience to handle touchpoints during the application process.
Pro Tip: Prepare your resume to meet both the human eye and AI.
The worst thing you can do is use a template. Buying a template from Etsy or making one on Canva will not help your chances of getting past AI. ATS scanning software has limitations, and the templates are not your friend. Job seekers want the “Easy Button,” but it is not easy. It causes a high rate of rejections. Hiring a seasoned and CERTIFIED resume writer is valuable. Experienced writers spend time getting to know you and your needs. If a writer spends 15 minutes with you, they must learn more to write about you. You always get what you pay for. Invest in your future. Most importantly, it would help if you customized your resume to fit the industry or channel you seek. A resume writer can assist in that process.
AW: What’s your favorite thing about working with your clients?
JD: I work with people from all walks of life. Different experiences, personalities, stations in life – they all vary. I love it.
I worked with a woman Cisco laid off after 25 years of service. She got hired in one week. The CEO called to offer her the job at $10,000 more than she had requested. I love stories that end up like that. I also empower and inspire people with information they did not know about the writing process, digital platforms, and preparing for interviews. Many candidates suffer from imposter syndrome. I help them break through those barriers.
AW: What’s your favorite thing about Wellington?
JD: The sense of community. You can network with the mayor and Michela, the Executive Director of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, at several professional events and/or holiday gatherings. There are so many activities here, and the Village is so supportive of the people of Wellington.
AW: Tell us about how you work with college graduates.
JD: Each student has a different upbringing. I encourage them to think globally about their future and allow a discovery period during job searching or simply reviewing their coursework. Being present with them on weekly check-in meetings is crucial to hold them accountable for job searching, networking, or accepting a job offer. Gen Zers compartmentalize their learning process. They appreciate a “learn and apply” methodology. I will work at their pace and constantly think about inspiring them. I want them to be better versions of themselves. I encourage them to keep a journal of all their accomplishments so that updating their resumes in the future is a breeze. In the future, I will hold group sessions virtually or in-person to train them to build out their resumes and understand the Value Proposition in interviews. Stay tuned. The program is in development right now.
Everybody is different and every body is different which is why a one size fits all approach to health and wellness rarely reaps the benefits people are looking for – be it weight loss, increased mobility or overall better health.
“Healthcare should be accessible, personalized and affordable,” said Roshini Singh (pictured below), National Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and founder of 365 Wellness. “This is where talking with your trusted primary care practitioner who knows you medically and to an extent, personally, can sit down with you and help tailor your health goals as a team.”
Roshini’s passion for preventative healthcare and investing in oneself is what drove her to found 365 Wellness, a South-Florida based direct primary care practice providing mobile medical services including everything from annual physicals to birth control management to lab draws to healthy living practices such as smoking cessation and nutritional counseling.
In addition to providing these services, Roshini’s passion for ayurvedic medicine factors into her individualized patient treatment plans.
A natural system of medicine which originated in India more than 3,000 years ago, ayurvedic medicine encourages natural therapies and lifestyle adjustments in order to regain a balance between body, spirit, mind and the world around us. Diet, herbal remedies, meditation and yoga can be part of this medical practice.
“We are not certified Ayurvedic practitioners at 365 Wellness, but our love for Eastern medicine principles tied together with our East Indian ancestral background means we instill this indirectly into our patient treatment plans every day,” she said.
An ayurvedic staple that Roshini recommends is the incorporation of turmeric into both diet and as a herbal supplement.
“Turmeric’s active ingredient is curcumin, a well-studied anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial. Many of our common conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity all can cause inflammation in the body. If the source of chronic inflammation is not treated, there are long term devastating health consequences,” she said. “Eating a diet low in inflammation, which is a key ayurvedic practice, and this includes plant-based diet concepts, coupled with turmeric can be a powerful and positive health adjustment, where it may even reverse certain illnesses.”
However, she stresses, it is vital to consult your medical provider before making any changes to your diet.
“It is important that you consult your trusted health care professional to review a customized diet plan based on your age, resources, culture, genetics and medical history.”
Another approach Roshini recommends for the reduction of inflammation is returning to nature for wellness purposes. In South Florida, we are lucky to have access to beaches which provide the perfect environment for swimming, water sports or merely taking a walk on the sand.
“Utilizing the natural elements of our environment is a part of a healthy lifestyle,” Roshini said. “Incorporating sunlight, breathing deeply and seeing peaceful sceneries of an ocean, lake or garden, can significantly reduce stress levels, thereby reducing inflammation in the body, and taking care of your mental health.”
Roshini’s steadfast adherence to the notion that time and energy should be invested in holistic aspects of care and this is what led her to start 365 Wellness.
“It’s about preventative health and focusing on every aspect of a patient’s life to reduce disease risks,” she said. “I strongly believe that if you invest your time, energy and focus into preventative health care, you will thrive. Both physically and mentally.”

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL. – They are the backbone of families. They are the ones who spend countless hours doing all for everyone. They are the ones who advocate and provide a voice for the ones they love. On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, POST (Pediatric Oncology Support Team) will honor these incredible individuals, mothers, during their annual luncheon beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Mirasol Country Club.
The luncheon will feature POST cancer patient, Deneilia Bennett, while raising crucial funding to provide basic necessities such as gas, groceries, utilities, and more, for families with children in the fight for their life. The organization was created in 1998 so that no family would have to walk a child’s cancer journey alone. Since its inception, POST has awarded more than $1.5 million to more than 2,300 families across Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast.
“POST was created because children get cancer too,” shared Barbara Abernathy, founder of POST “It is a situation no family wants to be in, but with the support, they can focus on the fight ahead and not whether they have enough gas to get to treatment.”
Honorary chair of the event is Lisa Glasband, a longtime supporter who volunteers herself to aid the organization in its growth and fundraising goals to assist in aiding even more families each year.
Added Abernathy, “This is going to be a very special event. Mothers helping mothers is what this is all about. Mothers lean on each other in good times and in tough times. This luncheon is a symbol of strength and togetherness that we are very much looking forward to.”
Tickets are $200 per person with tables and custom sponsorships available. The event sells out annually so early ticket purchases are encouraged.
POST is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping local children and their families fight cancer by giving them emotional and financial support. Having a child diagnosed with cancer leads to the darkest times most families will ever face. The organization’s freeprograms partner with families to provide support, teach new skills, offer new perspectives, and help to reinforce each family’s natural resiliency. They make a real difference for devastated families by embracing them with compassionate support and expert care.
