An Award and a Book

Many thanks go to Meg from Becoming Whole for sending me a copy of her book "Becoming Whole" to read and review here.

Already I like it a lot! So hopefully when I get lots of reading time, in amongst all the precious family time here in NY, I will be able to tell you a little more about it. It starts with her story of how she has overcome two bouts of cancer, bone cancer from which she lost a leg..and breast cancer with similar results, by changing her diet to a macrobiotic diet. And the second half of her book looks like a very useful addition to anyone's cookery book shelf...lots of delicious recipes from her macrobiotic diet schedule.

I am looking forward to finishing her story and also trying out some of the recipes. It can't hurt for us to be aware of our diet,and to eat carefully and healthfully can it?

Becoming Whole was written by Meg Wolff, and published by Flow Books, Maine, 2006.

A "lovely" award was given to me by Janine from Sniffles and Smiles ...you can view it in the sidebar. And I will try to pass it along as soon as possible. Thank you Janine. I appreciate you and your blog and this award!

Another award was given to me by Maria, in Austria, just before I left for New York for my holiday, and so I also thank her and promise to try to find it , and pass it along also!

Thanks, Annie. Obviously, I was not clear on what to do. And thank you for placing the note that I posted early. I'll try to change the post date on Saturday; have no idea whether it will work or not. :D

But, I'm prepared for the procedure for the next challenge. :D

The book looks to be very interesting and one I'd like to read.

When I received my diagnoses in 2007, I started looking into diet and came across keeping your ph level in an alkaline state. I had no family history, did not take hormones, etc., and finally decided it was my diet that may have set the stage for breast cancer.

I've changed my diet somewhat and try to include foods everyday that up my ph level and loaded with anti-oxidants.

Skywatch Friday

Image
We had a few gray skies in New York this week. These photos were taken on Riverside Drive and approximately W90th street. Apart from some rainy times this week, there have also been some great New York blue skies! Above, Chapel, Columbia Presbyterian Medical School, Washington Heights. blossoms in Inwood Park, New York. and some daffodil skies from Inwood Park again. The Cloisters were arising from the fog at the end of the street. Almost a European scene this morning here in Inwood, NY. And a flock of birds startled me as I was walking the baby this morning! I just love this photo as the sun was shining through the leaves of the tree. I hope you have enjoyed your stroll with me through some of the streets and parks of New York. If you would like to see other skies for around the world, please click on the skywatch icon over in the sidebar.

My World in New York this week.

Image
I had occasion to meet up with my first blogger, Daryl , of Out and About in NYC ....here in New York yesterday. That was fun walking around her part of New York with her. Plenty to photograph. Like this beautiful spring flower. I think it might be a magnolia. I am always looking upwards when I walk around New York. I seem to be drawn to the tops of the buildings for some reason! I love all the roof gardens I see up there, trees and all. I thought this message was especially interesting ....and challenging a little perhaps, especially this Holy Week. Back to the ground ...a tiny car and a dot of color. Daryl was drawn to the doorway I think! An Australian labradoodle we met in a shoe shop. I presumed he wasn't buying himself shoes! But he was a gorgeous dog nonetheless. Apparently good if you have allergies. Daryl looks happy she got the shot she wanted! Another magnolia? And a great frieze outside the Museum of American History. I hope that is right. We saw so many gorgeous buil...

We had a wonderful sunset here one night... but then the sky turned orange and the sun turned blue... Well, some of you may have heard about the HUGE dust storm we had in the eastern States here in Australia. Apparently it originated down south in South Australia and picked up all the dirt from the inland and deposited it all on the Eastern States...along with HUGE gusty winds...it is now on its way out to sea and to New Zealand...I am sure they will be pleased to see it! Yes, Irene...I was out in it with my camera....off to swimming with the 4 grand children on holidays...these photos taken on the way there and home...that is all the "outside" we did yesterday! It was a complicated matter of logisitics to get photos from my laptop/camera to my son's computer where I can access the inetrnet...so I waited till I got home...(just now)... Thought you might enjoy this combination....late My World and early Skywatch entry to see more entries in either one, please click on the...
