THE NARRATIVE - -

My name is Shawna Coronado.

Not too long ago I was very ill. I had year round bronchitis and sinus infections. I took over a dozen prescriptions a day.

I worked long hours at a stressful job I hated. I was sad. I was weak. I was in pain. I was out of control physically and emotionally.

Then one day I found nature.

I went into nature and began to green my lifestyle by eating and living more thoughtfully, by using less chemicals, by wasting less, by living more.

I began building gardens in my front lawn, in my back lawn, on my friend's lawns, on public property -- anywhere I could. It helped me feel alive. It helped my community to prevent crime. To feed the hungry. To make a difference.

I left the job I hated and downsized my career because I realized the importance of humanity as it relates to the environment.

I began building closer and more important relationships with my family and friends.

I became a newspaper columnist. I became an author - writing a book on green lifestyle living. I have two successful blogs -- one on gardening, and one on green lifestyle living.

I have traveled to Europe, Mexico, and all over the United States keynote speaking and creating videos on the importance of making a difference for the world.

And it all started with a garden.

I am healthy. I am happy. I am strong.

I took my life back and am confident again.

I am alive and spend every day living for the moment.

I am more satisfied with my own life because I am making a difference and helping others.

If I can do it, you can too.




LYRICS - - THE GREEN SONG!

Green. Green. Green.

What does it mean, mean, mean?

It's not about the corporations,

It's not about the politicians,

It's not about your procrastination --

Hoo Be Do Be Do Be Do Heyyy

OH OH OH Hoo, hoo, hoo! Alright! Hoo hoo hoo!

It's not about the gossip mags,

It's not about the high price tags,

It's not about the miracle pill --

Live your life right and climb that hill!

OH OH OH Hoo, hoo, hoo! Alright! Hoo hoo hoo!

Green, green, green, I'll tell you what it means.

Green. Green. Green.

I'll tell you what it means

Green. Green. Green.

What does it mean, mean, mean?

It is about the life you lead, not a game

It is about what you eat, no fast food name

It is about recycling -

Hoo Be Do Be Do Be Do Heyyy

OH OH OH Hoo, hoo, hoo! Alright! Hoo hoo hoo!

It is about the world finding its voice

'Bout doing it right; a better choice

Don't drink the poison do you know what I mean

It's making a difference by living green!

OH OH OH Hoo, hoo, hoo! Alright! Hoo hoo hoo!

Green. Green. Green.

What does it mean, mean, mean?

Green. Green. Green.

I'll tell you what it means.

It means life. Life. Lifeeeeeee.

Hoo Be Do Be Do Be Dooooooooo

[guitar] Hoo Be Do Be Do Be Do

Hoo Be Do Be Do Be Doooo

Yeah yeah yeah YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Green, Green, Green, Green, Green, Green

Be Green.

  • Great inspirational message. I am happy to hear that you have gotten away from all of the unnecessary "worldly" means of healing and found the natural means that the good Lord has blessed us with. I hope that you know Jesus, because this All comes from Him. To Him be All the glory. By using God's own "natural" resources that he has given all of us so graciously, you are living better. May God bless you and keep you always, for these seeds that you sow. This All comes from God. Praise, Jesus!!
