Embracing a whole life approach to wellness
Yesterday I was editing newsletters from our overseas staff, and became very grateful for the freedom and security that we enjoy in America. I know that not everyone is food secure; there is poverty here too. But reading some of the stories reminded me that we have much for which to be thankful.
Note: This is my last deep "orientation" post before I go to Uganda. Over the next month I'll switch my focus to packing and travel tips, including product reviews.
I had the privilege of attending the Coalition of Supporting Indigenous Ministries (COSIM) conference this week. So inspirational! The highlight by far was the session led by Steve Corbett, co-author of When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty without Hurting the Poor . . . and Yourself.
When I first read about American Terroir: Savoring the Flavors of Our Woods, Waters, and Forests by Rowan Jacobsen, I thought it was going to be a catalog of what areas are known for what foods. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this book goes much deeper than that, calling us to develop a relationship to the foods around us.
After getting inspired at Gleek Retreat a couple of weeks ago, I have been working on an e-book. I need your help!
