I just wanted to say a few words about my links on the side of this page. These are sites I look at nearly everyday, or at least once in a while when something new is published. Now, I look at lots of websites regularly, but these are my very top picks for interesting, informative, inspiring, beautiful or something else worth checking out.
I just added Nourished Magazine today because I got the latest newsletter edition in my email. It is a really good online magazine, with interesting articles and nutrition information quite different from the usual. Check out the article on "why I left conventional medicine" (or something like that, I forget because it's not right in front of me)--very well done! I know I have felt much better since eating in the style of Sally Fallon's book, Nourishing Traditions, which this magazine relies on heavily. More fat in the diet! My friend and nutrition expert, Jennette Turner in Minneapolis, first turned me on to this way of eating and her website is also in my links section. Her classes are great and she also has an online meal planning service which I'd highly recommend. Caution: I don't recommend following any diet religiously, and they all try to be religious, even and maybe especially Sally Fallon. You have to do what works for you, and this is what works well for me (I don't follow it like a diet; it's more a way of eating). Also, since it's quite different from the usual nutrition advice, I think more people should know about it. One other great book on the subject is in my book list, Full Moon Feast by Jessica Prentice. It's a beautiful book with lots of good recipes and she writes about eating seasonally and locally, also on the Zahn priority list as much as possible.
My favorite blog to read of late is Amanda Soule's SouleMama. It is beautiful! I only discovered this a few weeks ago, but have since found reading blogs to be better than reading magazines. Perhaps blogs are the new magazine, and no trees had to die in the making of them. Amanda's photos and crafts and general family life are so inspiring. Her blog is very popular and because of it she even got the attention of a publisher and was offered a book contract. Read all about this on her blog, and buy her book, The Creative Family, when it comes out. I think it will be great.
And a final caution on a couple of my links. Casaubon's Book and the Riot 4 Austerity blog are quite alarmist and sometimes very discouraging, but I do read them regularly for information and inspiration on saving energy, saving the world, learning to be more self-sufficient, etc. Sharon at Casaubon's Book is brilliant and wordy and very informative, though you must take her stuff with a big grain of salt. No, I don't think we're headed for a depression or the end of the world. Or at least, I'm not going to focus too much on that. However, I think she's right that we need to re-think the way we do things here in America and I love learning from her. Also, the Riot for Austerity folks connected me to a lot of the cool, creative blogs which I'm reading now. There's lots of young families changing the world out there.
That's it for today. Hope you enjoy surfing some of my sites like I do. Tell me what you think!
