So I realized yesterday that if anyone was reading my blog (and I believe I have perhaps one reader) that I might sound like a Southern Baptist preacher, threatening Armageddon.
Why am I blogging?
Over the last year, I have been purposefully reading a lot about our environment, mostly in terms of industrialized food production and alternatives. When I read, I do not always retain. Talking to people about my discoveries help, but writing is much more efficient. The bonus is having an online journal, I can access no matter where I am, so long as there is a computer and the internet. Reason #1.
Reason #2. I think this may become my life's work. I feel called to learn more about it and educate. My mom told me once that when I was 8, I declared God spoke to me and told me to recycle. So, if I can convince a person to read this from time to time and they learn a little tid bit that perhaps encourages them to no longer purchase bottled water, then I have made an impact. That's my ego I guess, but what good is knowledge if it is not shared.
Reason #3. I want to share my vegetarian adventures. Cooking and eating is a passion of mine and I love to read similar blogs. I promise to be a bit less bleak and offer a variety of post in the future. Recipes, pictures, etc.
Sunday is gratitude day for me and this week, boy is my gratitude plate full. I am alive, eating healthy, been to the gym 3 times in the last 3 days, have a life full of wonderful friends and family (that I absolutely love and adore), AND, AND, AND.....
I finally have a garden plot!!! An amazing garden plot and an absolutely fabulous friend to share it with! I am super excited about the 2010 growing season and I have all winter to research and learn, with a great friend. Can life get any better?

Wow, you never stop learning. And what makes me so wowified is that I am learning from my own. Yay, Calyb! I am reading and, most importantly, I am LISTENING. I get it, or at least, I am getting it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun planning your garden plot and while you are at it, pass on the info. You know me and dad have a garden every year, but, I want to be more consious this year regarding what type of plants we use. I want to focus on heirloom not hybridized versions of the wonderful veggies we all know and love, tomatoes being my fav. We used the seeds you gave us last year and had a terrific yield. Let's keep it going. Thanks for your energy, commitment and knowledge!
