I recently took a break from writing to help teach kindergarten through seventh graders physical education. Looking at it as a great opportunity to observe (that research part of my nature kicking in,) while also having an opportunity to teach yoga, would be a nice change for the kids, as well as myself, from [...]

Rescue Fish

I wanted two fish for my office the other day, so I went to the pet store. The manager was trying to sell me fancy, large, (and expensive) fish. When I bent down to the bottom tank, I asked about all those fish, I was told I wouldn’t want them, that they were [...]
Less is More

We’ve all heard the saying less is more, but some people use it as an excuse for not buying organic because it costs more. Granted, in order to get less chemicals and pesticides, less processed crud added to our food (which requires more work,) less confinement on the chickens that produce our eggs (if [...]

I have a request that is a two-fold experiment. In one way, it will help with the research of a new non-fiction book I am working on, and in another way, I will see if anyone is truly out there listening to me, or if I am just rambling to cyberspace.
I would like to [...]
Simplify

After a deep morning breath, I find I need to simplify. My life this week has been anything but simple, and it is my fault. I have noticed, for me, that when I am rushed, I take on more fat, and find myself wanting sweeter foods to keep my energy up. Hearing [...]

Today I find the desire for escapism washing over me.
My favorite form has always been in books. Doesn’t matter what genre, just as long as it is good.
Being the “thrifty” person that I am, I find libraries to be one of my favorite places in the whole world. Having felt like [...]
Are you an AM or a PM? Amazing in the morning, or powerful in the midday?
Posted in Miscellaneous ramblings/thoughts on April 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I work best in the midday and night, yet my husband, who is not a morning person, learns and works best in the morning, because he says, his brain is more like a sponge then. Mine is also, but more like the soggy, limp, overused, worthless kind of sponge.

Nearing the bottom of the color spectrum is blue. Maybe that is why blue gets a bad rap, it’s near the bottom, but those connections come from the negative connotations, we are focusing on the positives. Blue foods, such as blueberries, have great health benefits. The USDA Human Nutrition Research Center [...]
