I found Sarah Palin's relationship to oil and the land and the state of Alaska to be very moving (and frankly, sexy.) She scoffed at the notion of "raping" the land. To her it is not a rape. Drill, baby, drill, she said proudly. These are natural resources ... and we're not using them. If you watched the CNN second-by-second "Audience Reaction Meter" you could see that these comments appealed quite a bit to men, and not so much to women. Yes, there's a much much bigger ...
0 commentsWell, it's been a big revelation for me that "food" is not merely material food for the body. Food can be food for thought, food for the spirit, even food for the soul. And the VP debate was good food. It's intense what's going on in the country. At the moment I write this, the Huffington Post's headline is "Stocks Tumble at Close; Wall Street is voting that the Plan ... may not work". It is scary times. The whole economy, everything we count on to survive, like jobs an...
Okay, first of all, I loved the debate. Context: I'm a passionate Obama supporter. I was very impressed by Palin last night, not necessarily by her ideas but by her toughness, by her ability to go toe to toe with Biden, to debate fiercely, to slug it out, to put up an awesome fight! And I was very impressed by Biden for exactly the same. He went toe to toe with Palin, which by the way, was equally impressive. He debated the crap out of her, slugging it out till the bitter end. 15 rounds. Awe...
I don't want to "get healthy", I don't want to be conscious. I don't want to!!! (That's my two-year-old's favorite sentence right now and I'm right there with you, babe!!!) I want to be irresponsible, unthinking, all-eating, a child. Yes, I don't want to grow up. I don't want to take responsibility for my body. I want to eat whatever I want to eat, drink whatever I want to drink, smoke whatever I want to smoke! Whaaaaa!!! I am really kicking and screaming, I am holding on for dear ...
Over coffee yesterday, Jessica Porter, author of the inspired "Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics", insisted that eating well , and eating consciously , is the single most transformative thing you can do in the world. It's not just about "being healthy", it's about EVERYTHING. She offered many compelling examples from her own life, as well as the story of a family from Alabama who went macrobiotic after a family member got a brain tumor. Not only did the tumor go away ...
Had a very inspiring cup of coffee with Jessica Porter yesterday. Well, actually, I had a cup of coffee, she had some apple juice. In fact, she mentioned that when she does drink coffee her higher consciousness shuts down ... I nod, sipping my cappucino. But yes, we bond over the fact that we both have these blogs that are premised on the idea of healthy eating, and how healthy eating is a spiritual quest and has serious implications in the realm of consciousness. And that when one is not eat...
