Second Degree Focus

I am one of the original students that started Mr. Bronson's Forms class when forms class first started.

I believe I have been doing them off and on for 13 years plus.   I was hit with an illness caused by the chemicals in our environment and it has literally taken parts of my life away.  It has also left me for my death bed a few times.  

No matter what hits with my MCS/EI I am not going to loose my focus.  I will just  move slower and not as low.  I feel awakened, alive and…

Arugula Gnocchi over Fresh Greens

Gnocchi anyone?  My family loves it!    

I just came across this recipe this morning and I will be making it this weekend.  I have plenty of arugula and spinach growing in the gardens ( a rare breed spinach that I have been growing for the last 4 years and saving it seeds). 

 Making gnocchi sounds complicated, but it's actually fairly easy.  They can be frozen for later use, just add a couple more minutes to the cooking time.  

1 pound yukon gold potatoes,…

Mr. Bronson's Breakfast

Today's Breakfast: 

When I cook, most of the time I just throw things together.  The spices I use depend on the mood I am in, what I have in stock and what country I feel like eating from.  Today, I had some snow peas from the garden so the mood was Asian stir fry.   There are no exact measurements here.   I am thinking that I should have added some  freshly grated ginger and saute it with the celery.…

Toxic Food Traditions and Foolishly eating them "Once In A While"

Our food is becoming more toxic, our food traditions that are passed down are  toxic.  These food traditions that are passed down, are toxic choices that need to stop.  It is NOT ok to eat a candy cane with red 40 in it, it is NOT ok to eat a valentines day cup cake with Red 40 in it, it is NOT ok to eat marshmallow throughout the summer on your camping trips, they are full of GMO ingredients and toxic food coloring, it is NOT ok to eat at the sports snack shack, it is NOT ok to eat the…

When Tiredness Sets In Push Harder

When the tiredness sets in from weeks that seemed like months, nights that seemed too short, the days seemed like you could not catch up on anything,  and now you hit a wall. That was me today

That is when the  little evil voices tell you, you can't do it.  These evil little voices tell you things like you can't get up that mountain,  you are moving to slow, just stay in bed, just look at the computer more,  you have no energy so just watch a movie, maybe you should eat some junk,…

Conventional Agriculture = Silent Spring

  I can only hope that "Silent Spring" does not happen.  Hope is all I can hold, but in reality of this realm, by which I see, hope might not be enough.... 

" Sue Sanders "

We must push hard to rid our world of the toxic chemicals that are used in conventional agriculture.   Support local organic farmers... …

Hormone Disruptors

Statement by Rosemary Gladstar

Women have been experiencing menopause for eons, so it amazes me that in our era menopause is so often designated as a medical condition, an anomaly that requires medical intervention.  menopause is a state of being, not a disease.  medical intervention should be the exception, not the norm.   

Many of the symptoms of menopause are similar to those of adrenal stress:  nervous disorders,severe depression, irritability, fatigue, and…

Healthy Low Budget Recipes Part One

For many years I have heard people say they can not afford to eat healthy foods.  Being a single mom for years I new they were very wrong. People can afford to eat healthy. The underlying issue is this, we have a society that does not know how to cook.  Living off of a dollar menu will give nothing but bad health and a lot of expensive health care bills.  Besides why not work on feeling good, vibrant, healthy, active, awake, motivated and happy.  You are what you eat.  If you…

Happy May Day

This is the beginning of the most active part of the year and the beginning of Summer. All of life is bursting with fertility, sap is rising, birdsong fills the air and growth is everywhere. 

It is a time to practicing the art of wooing, for letting passions fly in the exuberant joy of the moment.  It is a time to express yourself, but also to remember to stay grounded. 

It is a great time to renew your goals.  Ask yourself what you wish to give energy to.  Where will you put…
