    “’The Grace of the Green Leaf’ [Voted Best Vocal Album of 2010] is a realization of the ultimate merging of melody, voice, and rhythm, all three elements playing an equal role in elevating the human spirit beyond the drudgery and despair of daily life to a place of joyous movement and awareness of our bodies as an instrument of inner beauty and innate sensuality”

Why do we have stickers on our fruit?

Look at this lovely bee doing it’s job.  Where is the sticker on this flower?  I don’t like to have stickers on my  fruits and vegetables so we can have a SKU number for inventory! I don’t like to take a sticker off of my food before I wash and eat it. It makes my [...]
