10 Books in 10 Days
I’m gearing up to move to the mainland for a month while Chris is recuperating from his kidney transplant, and I play nurse-maid. I am wanting to finish a couple of books with Chris’ help, and work on my big projects of ZooFit- How Animals Changed My Health and Fitness, Stupid Questions, and Conservation Fitness Guide. Finishing…
30 Days of Experiencing Nature: Day 27- Reading Nature
Knowing I was doing this experiment, I tried to focus my reading to books on nature. I have way too many books in my “to read” pile, but this month I whittled down the list a little. Okay, a smidge. Okay, a fraction of a smidge.

Big Magic
Once in a while a book comes along in my life and wraps me in a blanket of awesome revelations. Such it was with Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. Big Magic was a serendipitous choice from the library to keep me occupied while my books on hold arrived.
Complexity Involved in Saving Our Seas
If you are going to start a movement, like I am with ZooFit, Eating Green, Experience Nature, and Conservation Fitness, it’s important to get as much information as possible on the topics you are passionate about. When I started reading “Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change”, I also had another book I had borrowed from the…
Making Light of Climate Change
Whenever I discuss Conservation Fitness and turn the subject matter over to climate change, I often get feedback that I am too pessimistic and overshadow my program with doom and gloom. Frankly, climate change is a bit doom and gloom, but I understand people wanting a more light and positive approach to the problem. So…
