Your tumble down the rabbit hole has landed you in my bit of cyberspace, a site where I blather about life, creative stuff, real food, and urban homesteading. I'm known as Cyberdelia or even my real name, Sara. Briefly: I'm an overeducated writer, artist, wannabe blisspreneur, and beginning homesteader who loves all things whimsical, colorful, and fantastical; believes in magic; loves storytelling in all sorts of forms; needs art and color and creative expression to properly function in life; loves pixel art; is a Reiki master; loves natural & herbal healing; prefers being surrounded by animals, birds, & plants; believes real whole foods can save us; believes in self-sufficiency and close community; loves growing things and learning things and tending things; and can't live without furbabies, plants, dirt, fresh air, nature, books, and a computer.
Sharing gems…see there? Gems! Heh heh… (yes, my sense of humor really is that lame…)
I recently came across these wonderful posts and had to share them:
- Dr. Eades, one of my favorite low-carb writers, is brilliant and sassy. Yesterday he posted a critique of a lauded scientific diet study that does not deserve to be lauded; to illustrate his point, he describes life in “Stupidland” (sadly, the scenario applies to so much more than diet).
- Also yesterday, a UK doctor called for a ban on butter to save lives (he apparently lives in Stupidland, too). Clarissa Dickson-Wright, she of Two Fat Ladies fame, wrote a response that appeared in today’s Daily Mail. Dr. A of Livable Low Carb posted her entire response…it’s brilliant. You go girl, and I’m eating butter right along with you.
- I just read a post about the movie Avatar by Homegrown Evolution: “Avatar: I’m not lovin’ it.” I’m one of the two people in the world who has not yet seen it (shocking since I am a scifi fan, but then again, not so shocking considering my lack of funds). I know the plot, of course, and this post’s take on it was really interesting. I love the last bit: “Here’s our own suggestion for folks longing for Pandora. Go outside. Find a plant, any plant. A tree, a weed growing out of the sidewalk. Spend a few moments with that plant, observing what it looks like, how it grows, how it makes you feel. Believe what you hear, what you feel, what you imagine. There’s no need for tanning beds and fiber optics. You’re already jacked into a world 10 billion times richer and more imaginative than Pandora. To see it you just have to open your eyes.” ‘Nuff said.
