Back to the Garden

November 3, 2009

As Einstein said you can’t solve the problem with the same thinking that created the problem.
Our institutions began with good intentions. Eventually they outgrew the goodness of their mission statements. Then problems began. You can look at most large institutions or businesses – banks, the health care industry, our energy systems, educational institutions, [...]

No Trick or Treaters

November 1, 2009

I’ve lived most of my life without vampires, ghouls or witches coming to my door. We’ve always lived to far out to make the trek for candy worthwhile. Still my husband is always in a festive holiday mood. He carved a pumpkin on Halloween night.

A World Without Men

October 21, 2009

That is what scientist Bryan Sykes, professor of genetics at Oxford University and author of “Adam’s Curse: A Future Without Men,” predicts will happen. We have about 125,000 years to prepare ourselves for an entirely feminine population.
The reason for the male demise, according to Sykes, is that the “Y” chromosome is flawed and since [...]

Lincoln’s Logs

October 17, 2009

Building a facsimile of Lincon’s birthplace cabin is in celebration of the Lincoln Bi-centennial and is sponsored by the Olive Hill Historical Society.
It’s a totally volunteer project taking place at the primitive camp grounds at Carter Caves State Park. We work on weekends. Volunteers are welcome!

Memories

From my good mood blog: The Good Mood Blog
About a year ago while standing at the stove fixing breakfast, a pleasant natural whiff of something, not the eggs, lingered in the air momentarily. Suddenly I thought of my friend, Jewell. I looked up to see a bird sitting in the window right [...]

Return of the Ring

October 12, 2009

You may think of Tolkien when you read the title, but this story isn’t fantasy. It’s true.
In August my husband and I traveled to Houston, Texas, were we were initiated in a type of yoga called Kriya Laya. It’s not as mysterious as it sounds. It’s really a more gentile [...]

Some More Indian Dishes

October 7, 2009

Palak (Spinach) Paneer is something served in most Indian restaurants and is something I wanted to learn to make. It really turned out well, as did the Aloo (Potato) Masala for Dosa. Unfortunately, I flubbed up on the bread. I love bread, but it is not my forte’ when it comes to [...]

Our Disease Care System

September 30, 2009

I cringe at calling it health care. My definition of health care is educating ourselves on what lifestyles and foods benefit our bodies, mind, emotions and spirit and implementing that education with action. This would involve the most holistic methods before resorting to chemical or invasive measures. I don’t always follow my [...]
