Each of us has the opportunity to make new choices in our daily lives, to create new practices that we take on each and every day. Our invitation is for you to design practices for yourself that have you be ‘in action’ consistent with creating a sustainable, fulfilling and just human presence on Earth as the guiding principle of our time. The name of the game is: engage. Small steps are good. Big steps are good. Have it be a practice that delights, satisfies and inspires you.

Howdy-do, how are you? Let me just tell y’all that I had the most fabulous weekend! I am sure you are dying to hear what has captured my heart, so I will tell you: my hope for our great world has been rekindled once more.
I guess to backtrack, last November I went to a symposium that my friend Laura told me that I would love. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into at the time, but I can say now that it has changed my life. It’s called Awakening the Dreamer, and its mission is to bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on Planet Earth. Wow, that’s quite a task, huh? [click to continue…]
Again and again, I am so sorry that I have been writing so infrequently lately. Truth be told, I have been in no mood to write because…how do I put this…I have been feeling like crap. I feel bad admitting that to you because I know that you read in part to feel encouraged and enlightened about health and WELL-being, not ILL-being, which is how I have been feeling for weeks. It started with seasonal allergies last month, which have gotten progressively WORSE since the pollen field started growing behind my house. Oh sure, it looks nice blowing in the wind, but the truth is that every granule of pollen that sneaks into my house runs straight for my eyeballs, leaving me literally scratching them in hopes of dislodging even one (I have considered sewing my eyelids shut, but haven’t found a seeing eye dog on such short notice). From there came a serious pain in my neck, probably brought on by my pain in the neck allergies, pain in the neck taxes, pain in the neck selling/purchasing a new car, pain in the neck website building delays, and my pain in the neck attitude about it all (see why I haven’t been writing). Upon visiting the chiropractor after 3 days of inability to move my head from side to side, he asked me to stop sneezing otherwise I will throw my adjustment out. Thanks, doc, I’ll get right on that. Then just as I was starting to feel better, I came down with a nasty 48 hour flu. My mom thinks it hit me so hard because my immune system has been on hyper-mode defending itself from the aforementioned pollen invaders. The sickness has mostly subsided, but the allergies are here to stay, it seems indefinitely.
If you are still reading this pathetic diatribe, I will now reward you with a delicious recipe. Last week I made my favorite breakfast dish: Crab Cakes with Poached Eggs, Guacamole, and Lemon Hollandaise with Roasted Red Potatoes. Scrump-dilli-umptious!! It is a take-off of the one they serve at Tupelo Junction, but so much better (if i do say so myself). It is a bit labor intensive, but a great meal for a Sunday brunch or for anyone you just really want to impress. Make sure to get good quality crab meat. I Prefer Dungeness crab meat or blue crab, but used jumbo lump crab here. I am going to lay it out as separate recipes then show you how to assemble it at the end.
