Born Again Hunter
On the hypothesis that we are all born to be hunters and that life is one big hunting trip, then my first book, Planting Seeds: the Early Years could be equated to Hunting for Dummies. In Book 2, Laying Down Roots: the Intermediate Years my hunts unfold as I alternate from pursuing big game such as a life partner, a career, self-esteem and meaningfulness, to small game like rest areas, a runners high, vacations or fun, while in search of my ultimate prey - self-actualization. In my quest I will be periodically called upon to pull into a service station to rebalance and realign myself and then gas up before proceeding. There will be times when I push myself to exhaustion, on the brink of a complete breakdown, only to find a saving fork in the road. When faced with adversity will I choose flight, fight, freeze or something else? Youll need to read to find out.
Every Bite Affects the World
Every Bite Affects the World helps us be mindful of the connections between what we eat and the health of our bodies, as well as the health of the soil, water, climate, communities and farmers both here and far away. The book invites you to be part of the journey. "Combining original recipes, inspirational quotes, and reflections on our relationship with food and the land that produces it, Every Bite Affects the World is at once mouth-watering and thought-provoking." - Ryan Meili, MD, author of A Healthy Society. "This book takes people back to being connected to the land, knowing that natural plants grown without pesticides provide highly nutritious meals. First Nations' diets often included these plants. Also growing food this way is taking care of the soil, our Mother Earth, to feed future generations. I look forward to making many of the recipes, and learning from the information in Every Bite Affects the World." - Sheila R. Brass, member of the Peepeekisis First Nation, Saskatchewan.
