TOO MUCH TRUTH


Everything that every self-help book, cook book, medical book, philosophy book, political book, gossip book, make-over artist, and mange comic book says is right.

The environmentalists, educational reformers, and nutritionists, alternative medicine advocates, editorial cartoonists, columnists, educators, sportscasters, futurists, doomsday prophesiers conspiracy theorists, and art critics are all right.

I have to be afraid of H1V, swine flu, body fat, air pollution, chemicals on and in my food, water pollution, cell phones, drug interactions, anything made in China,

My blog is for vulnerable communication from my heart, mind, and spirit, meant to touch readers who are passionate about creativity, art, life, and cultures.... Nastiness and personal attack are expressions of bitterness, not meaningful communication. The internet drowns in negativity, but not this site....Thoughtful criticism, however, is not negative, but an affirmation of ideals, hopes, and caring. Positive comments are more useful if they are not meant for my ego, but to share compassion and love....Thanks for reading, feeling, and sharing.
