Eating Animals is an important book written by Jonathan Safran Foer. The best thing about this book is that it does not judge. The next thing it does is it makes us judge ourselves. Which is what humans can and should do. Read it and learn lots of interesting facts and statistics, but also a new way of looking at life.
I myself believe in natural laws, because they are the only thing I’ve seen that work all of the time. After a week of travel, I’m 100% certain that a few days of brown rice, miso soup and nature walks
will restore my body to top shape. And seeing my family and sleeping in my own bed will bring my
spirit back into alignment. Nature works. I hope more people can see the wisdom of nature and stop
listening to the alluring lies by capitalists. It will help to preserve my playground.
If you are living your dream, with excellent health, good fortune in love and money, there is probably no need to make changes, but develop your intuition, gratitude, and compassion for others. On the other hand, if things are rough now, and you’ve had a lot of rough patches, not just in career and money, but also in health, love, and enjoyment, then it might be time to invest in your body, mind and spirit. Understanding how to create health with food and movement is key, and the comfort of being healthy and sustainable is really powerful. Also less expensive!

On travel, eating right is difficult. So many temptations, from breakfast to dinner. One bite of egg, meat, dairy or sugar, and I lose all control all day (confession), then comes austerity. Honestly, I enjoyed the small Japanese (healing) breakfast I had this morning, more than any of the others. How can I support you as you improve your diet and lifestyle and maximize healing? 508-333-4153
Living my dream
When the phone doesn’t ring, it takes courage to pick it up.
Courage, and budget.
Going West, it may rain, but with a new umbrella, I am hopeful
When I married my wife, I gained two additional parents, and one additional sister. For 15+ years, I did not make the most of that, and ascribed my less-than-perfect relationship michigas to all of them. Now, my mother-in-law has passed on, and I am finally seeing the error in my ways. I feel very close to my father-in-law, even though he and I have very different views on many things, including eating and peace, etc. I am growing as a person because I can accept him, and his love, and offer mine, without judgement (sometimes). Now, I will try to reach out to my sister-in-law. What are other people learning out there?
So, you’ve heard about Macrobiotics, and you’d like to learn more? Here are three great books, all available on Amazon, that have a ton of great information, without the overwhelming Einsteinian data-dump: 1) Great Life Diet, by Denny Waxman (short, practical book of eating and lifestyle, with a personal history from a great man) 2) Hip Chick’s Guide to Macrobiotics, by Jessica Porter (fun, informative look at the eating and lifestyle angles, with some personality!) 3) Macrobiotics For Dummies, by Verne Varona (very detailed, but easy to understand, a great reference guide from A-Z, from a true guru). Winter is coming, get ready to read in bed!

My Dad always used to say, “these are great times for bread and beer.” While the supply (perhaps oversupply) of excellent bear and bread has many of us overconsuming one or both, there is no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater. It’s not grain or carbs that are the enemy, it’s how we prepare them. Try limiting yourself to one slice of well-chewed sourdough bread daily. In between, have brown rice at one meal (you can mix in any one of a dozen beans, nuts, seeds, other grains to make it interesting), and either millet, barley or quinoa for the other. Again, chew well. The high liquid content, along with outstanding fiber, protein and other nutrients, will keep your insides clean, and help you think.
