A Little of This; A Little of That

Just what I feel to write about at any given time... Mostly about health and fitness across the board ~ physical, mental, emotional, financial ~ or, sometimes, I may just run a rant.

  1. The Raw Food Lifestyle ~ The Philosophy & Nutrition Behind Raw and Live Foods

    by on 01-08-2011 at 08:49 AM (A Little of This; A Little of That)
    First let me say, this book is not for those of us who have been eating or involved in the lifestyle for some time however it IS a GREAT book that you may want to give to others who express curiosity or, who are just beginning. It is one of the most thorough and comprehensive books I’ve seen.

    It does NOT contain any recipes, just information about raw .... here's more.
  2. What's Going On...

    This site has served me for a REALLY long time yet, it's time for me to do my own thing and expand my horizons. For those who are looking to be raw, I cannot recommend a better site than this one. Mine is NOT about raw, it's about living authentically.

    Having said that, you'll not be seeing me here much.

    For those who've been asking what I've been up to, all kinds of things happening on my sites Bodacious Living including Daily Appreciations, blogging, a new book study group ...
  3. Imposing Your "Want" on Another

    by on 06-20-2010 at 01:22 PM (A Little of This; A Little of That)
    As I'm re-reading "The Four Agreements ~ A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom", I got to the "it's not personal" section and he said (paraphrasing) how people impose their own world on yours. What I see is, people impose their "wants" and/or "needs" on others.

    For instance, they may ask you a question about yourself. If you answer incorrectly, in their eyes, then you've lost something in their eyes. They WANT you to be the way they imagine you ...
  4. Use 'em or Lose 'em

    Just like any other part of your body, your eyes need exercise.

    Ever hear the term ~ repetitive motion syndrome? We usually equate that with wrist and/or elbow problems. With spending so much time on computers, reading and, for many, watching t.v., our eyes don't get the exercise they used to unless we do something to get them moving outside the little box we've put them in.

    How to do that? The yogi's have created a series of exercises one can do to get them moving beyond ...
  5. Depressed and Suicidal

    by on 03-02-2010 at 10:02 AM (A Little of This; A Little of That)
    Recently I've been watching a show called S.W.A.T. (not the long ago t.v. series) and saw how the "negotiators" interacted with those barricaded with or without hostages.

    I realize they only show bits and pieces of what's really going on and what's really being said yet, from what they show it's just textbook training, not life. If they talked to me when I was suicidal I'd have killed myself ~ as many of them do. Why? They show no compassion for what's going on with the ~ ...
