The Safe Hazen was born out of a desire to empower women with cherished insights gleaned from authors of books, inspirational speakers, and singers/songwriters; born from conversations I imagine myself having with my daughters, my sister, my mother, my niece, my neighbor, or my friend — talks that time and opportunity never seem to adequately afford.  I am inspired by the idea that, through blogging, I can keep company with all of these kindred spirits at once, from near or far… all these women have to do is reach out to the Safe Hazen.

My blog is organized with categories comprised of fun-loving puns of my last name – – HAZEN!

Sister Hazen – girl power; meaningful posts to empower women 

Hey! Zen! – holistic practices for the body and mind

Ha-Zinnia – container gardening and landscape

Hazana – DYI home improvement, crafting, sewing, & crochet

Hazen Raisin – nourishment & recipes

Hazen-nut Coffee and Books – book recommendations & reviews

Hazen Nuggets – morsels on a variety of topics (check out Holiday Nuggets!)

Categories coming soon include Witch Hazel (home remedies) and Purple Haze (music that nails it)! … and of course I couldn’t leave my first name out of the fun, so don’t forget to visit GrandDana’s Corner!
