This I Believe…
Hello all 🙂 It’s been a crazy few weeks in the world. Crazy few months, now that I think about it. Governments overthrown, governments on the brink of shutting down, people dug into positions and ideologies that are hard to overcome sometimes. It’s a deep time in our world, in our communities and in the deep places in our hearts.

Read MoreJamie Oliver TED Talk
Hello all! Blogger Slacker Returns 🙂 I’ve had several conversations with people lately about food. Not just about what to have for dinner, but why we are choosing what to eat. Local? Organic?

Courage is the power to let go of the familiar… ~~Raymond Lundquist Hello all 🙂 Blogger Slacker returns… I took this pic a few weeks ago in a remote place called Cathedral Canyon, in The Middle Of Nowhere, Missouri. To reach this place, you have to leave all that is familiar, drive 2 hours from a major city, then hike even further into the more-middle-of-nowhere. I must say~~ it was totally worth it. The pic doesn’t do it justice. I spent a few days in that part of the world, totally off the grid and reconnecting with myself. It was lovely in a million different...
