Chattering Mind

One thing in today’s New York Times really struck my fancy. It’s about how fashionable it’s become to check in for a drug or alcohol mind/body detox. I quote: Less than a decade ago, a stint in rehab was assumed to be a body- and soul-wrenching experience. A trip to even an elite facility like…

It was bound to happen. Read all about the plastic grocery bag ban in San Francisco here, and then buy some of these or this great site’s many other options so you’ll be prepared when the same ordinance is passed in your town.

Found a nice Easter egg decorating twist on iVillage: “fiber eggs” brought alive with bits of yarn or string. Click here.

Take the nine minutes to watch this inspiring documentary film trailer for “Raw for Thirty Days.” It’s the story of how six insulin-dependent diabetics who’d previously been subsisting on American junk food “undergo a radical 30-day diet and lifestyle change in the hope of reversing or reducing their insulin dependence.” In the hands of Dr.…

Others clean this week because it’s spring and they can sweep dust bunnies out the door. I’ve known people who have a genius for cleaning and organizing. I’ve known people who really struggle with it.…

This is so fascinating. I just discovered it. Dr. Peter D’Adamo, author of “Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight,” maintains a site with a fleet of good bloggers writing about their lives and diets, planned according to their blood types. I happen…

Here’s a funny piece by a groovy yoga-practicing liberal who discovers a passion for firing pistols at a gun-shooting class. The article nicely explains how we can all hold different temperaments alive inside us. Here’s a brief excerpt: I believe in sustainable agriculture. I support gay marriage. I think war is a failure of diplomacy,…
