Life has a way of following your focus. It is still Winter, but it feels like Spring today. I've been looking at seed catalogs and planning a garden. I've been thinking about my organic farm friends in Arizona - more family than friends really - and what they might be doing as they prepare to plant and grow food for so many people. I was remembering how I fed a pregnant teenager and myself from my garden many years ago, being her birth partner, keeping her healthy. Any amount of food that you can grow yourself, feed yourself with and possibly share will give a great sense of satisfaction. I am working on a nutrition guide for animal lovers for the Naturalpaths store - being for animal lovers, it is vegetarian...vegan would be even better for animals, but I want a guide that more people will be able to use. I was talking to some people years ago about "ethical food", we decided that "Twinkees" were the most ethical because their ingredients were as far removed from life as you could get. It's a joke. We must eat foods full of life force, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, etc. And now and then a cupcake just for fun. We are what we eat - seriously! And so are our animals. It's a balancing act. And we can focus on nourishment! Our lives will follow that focus.
