One Green Street

One Green Street is ALIVE in Me!

One Green Street — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:24:00 +0000

One Green Street is much more than just a retail store, a brick & mortar space. One Green Street is in every fiber, cell, and joint of my body! I live and breathe One Green Street 24/7. It is who I am now, few people find their purpose in life and I have found mine. A business with meaning…..name three retail stores whose mission is based on helping people, healing people and changing the world one person at a time. I want to do maximum good in the world and One Green Street is my vehicle. I believe we are all here for a reason, and we all have the seed of potential. Many people take their gifts and talents with them to the grave, not me! Oprah Winfrey says “I Don’t Believe in Failure” and I agree, it simply is NOT an option! So follow me down One Green Street as my path unfolds, lives are changed and the world becomes a better place. There is plenty of room on this street for you to walk beside me, so let’s do it….together.

A Childhood Audit

One Green Street — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:30:50 +0000

A Childhood AuditI heard the term “Childhood Audit” while listening to the great Jim Rohn and it struck a cord with me. I am a longtime student of personal development which has allowed me to accept the success that I have today and will help me to enjoy future successes as well. I would say that I live with a prosperity mindset. Others are not so lucky…. I grew up in a family that lived with a scarcity mindset, we had alot of love and laughter but also alot of struggles. Dad was a drinker and a cheater, a blue collar worker that was satisfied with the status quo while Mom was a loyal, hardworking stay at home mom with frugal ways and a lack of confidence in herself, also satisfied with the status quo. When they eventually divorced things truly did get scarce, only allowed a half a glass of milk, generic gifts arriving on our doorstep at Xmas (donations from strangers) could have had me accepting the scarcity mindset of my parents as well as acceptance of the status quo. However, that would not be the case!

When I look back now and perform a childhood audit, I realize that it was the conversation I had with myself that set a path for me very different from my parents. I would tell myself when the yelling got far too loud for my little ears that I didn’t like the way it sounded or the way it made me feel, vowing to never be with a man that made me feel this way. When boys tried to push me further than I was ready to go, I would say “NO” telling myself that I am worth more than just a “freebie” moment in the dark. How did I know that I was meant to be so much more and to do great things in the world? I am not sure but I do know that I have been married to a wonderful man, nothing like my father for almost 25 years! I have told both of my grown children since they were very small that they are beautiful and instead of always telling them ” I am proud of you!” I asked them the question “Aren’t you proud of yourself?” I still talk to myself and sometimes even say aloud “Sherry Eichberger, you are Badass!”

In summary, no matter what kind of childhood you may have had, do an audit, then start telling yourself how awesome you are, that you are special and meant to do great things with your life! You have greatness within you! Don’t look for outside approval, at the end of the day you only have yourself and are responsible for every choice you make and don’t make. Your best thinking has got you where you are today, so to grow past this point you must grow your mind and continue to work on yourself so that you will be able to accept all the prosperity coming your way. If you do not do this you will self sabbotage and end up back where you started often with a scarcity mindset! What are you saying to yourself?

Love and Joy, Sherry

Nandina Towels are created through a unique process of spinning bamboo and organic cotton together to produce a product that is hypoallergenic and naturally mold and mildew resistant. They have the luster of silk and the feel of cashmere, but they are inherently strong and durable and will stand the test of time!

Thank you David for taking the time to tell us about Nandina, FutureFibers!

Lunatic Fringe

host — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 22:59:00 +0000

I just received my Restoration Hardware dream catalog and on the very first page is a letter from Gary Friedman, Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer. I don’t usually read these letters, just want to get to the most fantastic furniture ever. I was captured by the title of his letter, “Every Movement has a Lunatic Fringe.” I would love to share excerpts from his letter because as a female entrepreneur and go-getter, believing that one person can make a difference, I really appreciate his thoughts and references. He speaks of one of our greatest presidents Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt and quotes a proclamation from his famous speech in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris. He says,
”It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles.. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who at his worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never by with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat”
Gary reflects that “He lived in the moment with a disdain for the status quo, an eye toward the future, fighting for his beliefs of a better tomorrow for all.”
Are you on the Lunatic Fringe? I will be pleased to meet you there, fore that is where I reside and plan to stay forever!

Why did the fox cross the road?

host — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:14:00 +0000

Why did the fox cross the road? Answer: To find a concrete free area to roam I witnessed this firsthand this morning and it broke my heart, and brought about an epiphany that I believe will change my life forever. Let me elaborate before you judge me as being melodramatic. See I’ve lived on the Northwest side of Houston in the “burbs” for a quarter of a century and over time have see the terrain change rather drastically. I guess you could call it Urban Sprawl! The fox ran across 6 lanes of concrete this morning with fear and confusion allover it’s furry face. That same road was once a dirt road that became a two lane road, then 4 then 6 lanes of pure tree and grass free highway, also known as Hwy 6 North. When as a newlyweds my husband and I moved to Copperfield it was a new community with only 1 Mexican restaurant, 1 seafood restaurant, a gas station and a Kroger. Life was simply perfect! When I saw that fox running for it’s life this morning a single tear fell from my eye and my stomach ached. What have we done, I asked myself. I say “we” because all of us are responsible for wanting more, bigger, better, now, now, now! I was planning on stopping buy the store to buy a new top for this weekend. Did I need another black top? No. Do I have many black tops and a closet full of clothes most of which I never wear? Yes. I suddenly was not in the mood for shopping. Instead I wanted to turn around, pick up that wild fox (not recommended) and release him into an area lush with grass, trees, bushes and friends for him to play with…This is the part where you will think I am crazy, in that moment I decided I would only carry recycled, up cycled, vintage clothing and accessories in my store. We have a wonderful new artist in our store named B. Artise who wrote the book, Born Again Vintage. Bridgett reconstructs old clothing to make it new and fashionable. I starting wondering wear my sewing machine was at home and all the great outfits I could make from all the tops, pants, dresses and skirts already existing in my closet and drawers. You are probably wondering what reconstructing clothes has to do with Urban Sprawl, and a wild fox crossing the road….well I will tell you that if we take the blinders off and start paying attention to our surroundings, what we buy, how we live our lives and how daily decision’s we make CAN and DO make a difference in the world around us maybe the air will be cleaner, our water will be purer, our family will be healthier and the creatures that God put on this earth will be able to continue to roam, eat, and live as they were intended. That’s all…just think about it!
