I am so excited by the presence of new media combined with poetry. Poetry is becoming more mainstream and almost “cool.” I find this extremely comforting. Thanks Sambycat for the link. I wish you lived in closer to me, darling girl, so we could go spend some time together.

I’ve been inspired by this weeks Frozen Pea Fund viral outbreak on Twitter. @Aruni at entrepreMusings summarizes it well in a great post with links. It hits close to home for me as I have my breast exploration surgery next week. The surgeon’s office told me to buy a couple of small [...]

OK, I love the song by Landon Pigg (what kind of name is that???) called Coffee Shop. It is featured in the “A Diamond is Forever” commercial ( deBeers ?) — the one where the husband gives the wife the diamond necklace at the red light in the snow storm (*sniffle*). Go buy [...]

I’m reading a great book called Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom by Dr. Christiane Northrup. The book covers a number of common women’s health issues. What makes Dr. Northrup different from other medical authors is her ability to address both physical and psychological elements of natural female experiences, as well as illness. The [...]

Here is a link to my Flickr photo recipe set on making my favourite candied yams for Christmas. Yams are a welcome addition to any table. Yams are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, B6, folate, iron and magnesium.
