It was only a few years ago that I had hummus for the first time. I’d venture to say, that its only been in recent years that many of us have been exposed to even the simplest of ethnic food. So for me, hummus was restaurant food. Over the years, I learned some of what [...]

My Texas in July get away was a good recharge and I think it’ll help me truck through the next few months in Arizona. I was able to disconnect in a major way. We spent more time out at the Lake than usual, so no wireless access, no cell phone signals and the TV didn’t [...]

Action leads to motivation. I truly believe that. Over the past few months I’ve mimicked initiatives started by other people. AfricanKelli sent out a charge to see what each of her readers could do in a week focused on ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and I picked up what I think are great habits.

I love magazines. I’ve been trying really hard to cut back since I’m doing this whole live consciencly thing with recycling and reducing the resources I use. I went and took myself off the junk mailing lists and I have stopped a lot of subscriptions.
