Two weeks ago my first book, I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas officially launched. It all started off in San Francisco at Parc 55 at a party hosted by my dear friend Zem Joaquin (who wrote the foreword to the book) and Ecofabulous. The event was well attended.

This week Rachel Sarnoff and Ecostiletto with Ecobash Events put together the LA launch at Environment Furniture (my favorite sustainable furniture company). The Border Grill truck provided food and Christmas music played in the background.

In between, I have signed books for women in Orange County, Teens Turning Green in Marin County, have done TV interviews and segments (for the internet too) and have been Facebooking and Tweeting like it’s going out of style. Not to mention there have been months of phone interviews leading up till now. It’s all been a blur. Next week I start the radio interviews that will be airing across the country… And now I am ramping up for the release of my upcoming organic cookbook in April, Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic.

In I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas, I talk about getting out of the frenzy, getting back to basics if you will. Today as I took a lovely Fall walk in the Descanso Gardens and watched my daughter running between the trees I was reminded how much I love reconnecting with nature and simplicity. My friend and I strolled with our babies in baby carriers peering out at the falling leaves. I had a lot of gratitude. So I remind you again, yes be green this holiday season, make small sustainable changes but also see if you can slow down, take a walk in the great outdoors and connect with gratitude.

Over the next few weeks I will focus on a few of the key green tips in the book around decorations, entertaining and gift giving. So check back for more!

Have a Happy Sustainable Season!
