EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
OMTIMES MAGAZINE
LOVE
In the Time of
Impermanence
OMTimes: Your new book, Love in the Time of Impermanence, looks at the certainty of change and loss and how both of those things can support rather than diminish love. Can you explain what you mean?
Matt McKay: In the physical world, everything we love will change and ultimately be lost. The objects we love will break, fade, or wear out. The places we love will erode in a fire, flood, encroachment, or neglect. The people we love will change in appearance, vitality, health, or aspects of personality. We may lose them to disease or death. Yet the certainty of change and loss can strengthen and enhance love. We can hold whatever we love precious in the face of impermanence. We can cherish this moment and the next, knowing time sweeps everything away. Knowing each diminishment can be embraced, held. Knowing love can allow and accept every change without judgement, without running away. Love can be the only permanent thing in a world of eternal change.

REPLACE CHEMICAL CLEANERS WITH HOMEMADE ONES A spotless household is important for your health and for feeling comfortable and relaxed. However, we face a big contradiction here because keeping your home clean is usually done by using harmful substances, like detergents that contain strong chemicals. This way, you do get the home cleaner, but on the other hand, you compromise your health, especially the respiratory organs. To reduce this to a minimum, try using homemade cleaners. The ingredients used for this purpose are apple cider vinegar, baking soda, corn starch, alcohol, and essential oils. Essential oils give a nice and relaxing smell to the otherwise strong vinegar smell. You can also use lemon juice since it's acidic and provides good cleaning effects and a fresh smell. Avoid products that contain ammonia, phthalates, triclosan, and many others. Natural cleaners are easier on your respiratory system and much healthier.
by enhancing our physical assets with makeup. It is important to keep in mind that our skin is our biggest organ, and since it's on the outside, it's more vulnerable and prone to damage. Whatever you use for your skin, the skin absorbs it. Make sure you use the best organic cosmetics, and your skin will breathe and remain nurtured. There are recipes for natural concealer and highlighter, and you can try some of them to achieve a natural glow. Essential oils are always popular, not only for massage but also for cleaning your face and making it hydrated.
PREVENT PEST INFESTATION The worst intruder in your home is a pest, which has various kinds, from flying insects to rodents. These uninvited guests can damage your furniture and jeopardize your health by transmitting different infections. Cockroaches, mice, rats, and mosquitoes are especially known, while termites are famous for destroying your furniture and walls. German cockroaches are well
