How do our food choices effect us and others?

It’s a funny thing when you stop and think about it; our food choices and how they effect us and those around us. The spark for this article was a friend conveying her concern to another friend of mine. It was all third hand but didn’t make it any less real for me. I am [...]

Raw Spirit Festival 2009 – Washington, DC

Wow, now that I have finally caught up on sleep from this past weekend I have time to post about it! For those of you who don’t know, it was the Raw Spirit Festival – East Coast weekend! It was a wonderful event! Much smaller than Santa Barbara but also much more intimate!
The volunteers that [...]

Trigger Foods: What are they and why do the effect us?

Nasty things, Trigger Foods. I am speaking from experience here. I have read multiple other accounts of people experiencing similar problems with certain foods. For some like Jinjee it’s Cocoa, for others it’s sweets and for me it’s salt & fats (but possibly sweets). Salts seem to be a big one though!
Right now I am [...]

Through the looking glass…

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.”
Well this wasn’t exactly the quote I was looking for and it’s out of the original “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” but I liked it just the same and it seemed to fit! I’ve been on a curious adventure lately and all I could think about [...]

I am alive!

In fact…I am very alive! I have been managing to stay VERY busy lately and have not been making any time for myself aside from reading. I have been neglecting journal and my blog! GASP! I have to admit, I don’t feel good about it. I miss writing. I feel connected when I am writing. [...]
