ABOUT GREENS WATER

Wherever you are, you have a special invitation, you are welcome here. 

Greens Water began as a personal creative outlet and has grown into a micro blog with thousands of views, a consistent trickle of lurkers, and a surprising amount of cultural cross‑traffic. I post for people about sustainability, food, design, lifestyle, arts and personal growth in a short, image‑anchored format that reflects my world view. For the curious and reflective.  No formulas. Only trends when they make sense. Based on real things. 

The name Greens Water is a pseudonym for the small American town that shaped me, with blackberry brambles, ice ponds, family cookouts.  The kind of place people use as an avatar, when they want to imagine a gentler world, because community is where you find it. It’s also symbolic of self-improvement: you put water in your greens to feel better, to get stronger.

I’m an indie creator, a one‑woman band and a natural non‑conformist. I bounce content from Twitter to Blogger because they are more natural, intuitive platforms for me than Facebook’s clunky interface and Instagram’s noise.  Greens Water values personal expression, artistic experimentation, collaboration, and, most of all, quality content. It’s also for those who try to define me, because if you really want to know some of what makes me tick, you can check out Greens Water micro blog.

It’s a quirk-fest from my little mind to the world.  I collaborate with AI for fact‑checking, idea refinement and verification, but the subject matter is human‑authored. AI is not the generator of my posts. 

Greens Water’s been at it for years, with breaks, pivots and reinventions. It’s authentic, sometimes messy.  From me to you:  new ideas to enhance your life, a calmer mind or a reminder of simpler things.  It’s where I started, and where I plan to go back to, in body and or in spirit, the long arc of going home once again.

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...

Same title, different decade A summer heartbreak anthem gets reinvented by a modern superstar who shares its name. 4. Sisterhood energy across generations One is a declaration of independence from an iconic trio; the other is a guitar‑driven empo...
