REVIEW: Kiss the Ground by Josh Tickell

KISS THE GROUND by Josh Tickell is an absorbing tale that could save us from ourselves. In our hurry to increase production of the food we eat, we’ve alleviated the nutrients and poisoned our environment. But there is hope, beginning with this book and regenerative agriculture.

REVIEW: Impossible Saints by Clarissa Harwood

IMPOSSIBLE SAINTS by Clarissa Harwood fascinated me with its unusual subject matter for a historical romance. It’s uncharacteristic, as well as depicts strong women who fought for their rights in the early 1900s. This “new” woman was sexually aware, smoked, and went to jail for what she believed in. These were the women who fought…

REVIEW: 101 Best Vegan Foods by Publications International

101 Best Vegan Foods by Publications International is one of my favorite Vegan reference books. It’s perfect for a specific style of cook – one who doesn’t like to follow direction and prefers to forge their own path. That’s me. I’m terrible at following a recipe. I collect cookbooks, but I use them for inspiration,…

Review: The Vengeance of Mothers by Jim Fergus

The Vengeance of Mothers by Jim Fergus continues the adventure that left us hanging in One Thousand White Women. Historical fiction meets mystic lore in this engrossing continuation about the women we loved in book one.

New Beginnings – looking backward and forward

Every year I’m excited for New Beginnings that the New Year brings. I like to look backward to reflect, then forward with great excitement. This year I’m a bit melancholy, so although I still have my zestful ambition, my frustration over all I had wanted to do, and didn’t do, is bugging me. What you…
