I am Utterly Obsessed. ~ Chelsea Tegtman

by on Feb 10, 2012

I believe I have become utterly obsessed with my body image and what I am putting into my body. I would probably even be considered to have an "eating disorder." Geeze, what a huge bummer! Or is it? Maybe this realization isn’t such a bummer; maybe it’s the doorway to loving myself again and the window to seeing the true image of the person in the mirror.

Love of Cheese.

by on Feb 9, 2012

Now I allow myself to have natural cheese made with full-fat milk I am sated by the high quality fats, proteins and nutrients. This satisfaction leads to lower consumption. Moderation is the result. And moderation is the key to health.

For the past 12,000 years farmers have saved the best seeds each year to increase yields and improve traits for the food we eat," said Dave Murphy, founder and Executive Director of Food Democracy Now! "In 1996, when Monsanto sold its first patented genetically modified (GMO) seed to farmers, this radically changed the idea of how farmers planted and saved seed."

Easy Cures for Life’s Little Problems.

by on Feb 1, 2012

Problem getting your man to share? After he speaks count to 11 in your head slowly. 9 times out of 10 a man will start to speak again.

Dosha Think It’s Time You Learned About Ayurveda?

by on Jan 27, 2012

The literature on Doshas is extensive. Some writers, like Robert Svaboda, are absolutely genius at taking a reader’s hand and walking them back into the sensitive recesses of the Ayurvedic collective mind to where the concept of Doshas began. And in these recesses is where the seeker finds the power that Ayurveda grants anyone willing to take it up. Yet still, how can you describe it to someone who doesn’t have time or the faith to pick up a book about it? Here's a start.

Creating a better economic future for all: The Economics of Happiness conference.

by on Jan 24, 2012

Increasingly, we know what we’re against. It’s now time to decide what we’re for. And how to get from here to there. The Economics of Happiness Conference will focus on an agenda for change — away from jobless growth towards sustainable livelihoods; from large-scale sweatshops towards scaled-down business; from self-recrimination and guilt towards empowerment and collaboration; from a globalized system of exploitation and inequality towards an economics of happiness.

Letting Go of Mass. ~ Dan Clement

by on Jan 23, 2012

For us to move toward a still-point in the center of our awareness (and it is no coincidence ancient people had a reverence for the sun as a metaphor of our own center) we need to either slow down, or release mass –– weight.

10 Great Quotes about Coffee.

by on Jan 20, 2012

Call me a dreamer, but I hold coffee in high regard as a wonder drug cure-all love potion constitutional beverage from hell. Like no other drink in history, coffee gives temporary shelter to the artists, the poets, and the downtrodden. It is a world in a cup, it is a map and a mysterious journey.
