The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamanat "Set in early 1800s Massachusetts and inspired by the settlement of Dogtown, Diamant reimagines the community of castoffs...all eking out a harsh living in the barren terrain of Cape Ann. Diamant brings the period alive with domestic details and movingly evokes the surprising bonds the outcasts form in their dying days. This chronicle of a dwindling community...renders these forgotten lives with imagination and sensitivity. " Find more books to love at WL Best Reads

When you try to communicate with your love, does it sometimes seem like you're just not speaking the same language? He or she may be trying really hard to figure out what you are talking about, but just can’t make sense of it. You often feel the same way. Read more... As You Choose User Rating: / 1 Spirituality Your life right now is the reflection of the choices you have made up until now. It is only when you live in a victim consciousness that you believe you had no choice. The most empowering tool you have in creating a wonderful human experience, is to remember that each moment you are at “choice point.” Each moment you have a choice about how you want to perceive the situation, you have a choice about what you want to believe about it, and you have a choice about how you want to respond. All these choices are within your power. Read more... Establishing Boundaries User Rating: / 2 Relationships You need to begin by defining your territory, your space. You need to have the strength to take care of yourself and to protect yourself. You must have respect for both yourself as well as others. You can learn to make appropriate choices and learn what is reasonable to give in a relationship.

Managing the stress in your life is one key to staying healthy. Read more... Marriage: Responsibility vs. Fault User Rating: / 0 Relationships Fault implies that you are the cause of a situation. Your ego - your conditioned wounded self - believes that you have control over other peoples' feelings and behavior, and over the outcome of things.  Responsibility is about the ability to respond. Every situation in life offers us opportunities to respond, and how we respond determines how we feel and what we attract to us. Read more... Sexuality and Spirituality - Strange Bedfellows Or Natural Partners? User Rating: / 2 Sexuality Sex. Possibly the most loaded word in any language, and with good reason. Sex reaches deep down into who we are at our core, and tells truths about us that are undeniable. Freud tapped into this over a century ago, and his insights still reverberate across the decades, and did a lot to break apart the rigid taboos against talking about sex that are a legacy from the Victorian culture.

your health Breast Healthy Eating by Catie Hayes of WomanLinks.com How in the world can what you eat aid in prevention of breast cancer? Breast cancer is hormonally based. It thrives in the presence of estrogen. When a great deal of estrogen is present, the likelihood of developing breast cancer multiplies. Several foods naturally block the effect of estrogen. By encorporating these foods into your diet, you can reduce the presence of estrogen and lower your risk for breast cancer without medication. Will this guarantee you will never develop breast cancer? No, but eating a breast-friendly diet may help tip the odds in your favor Foods high in soy or flaxseed are highly effective estrogen blockers. The typical American diet doesn't call for much in this department, so to give you some ideas, check out the recipes below: Vegetarian Jambalaya Grilled Tofu in Miso Sauce Tofu Mock Egg Salad Sesame Tofu Stir Fry Chicken Tofu Burgers Szechwan Tofu Triangles Miso Soup Cruciferous vegetables help break down estrogen into a "good" form that is not associated with breast cancer. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower are common examples of cruciferous vegetables. As with soy-base foods, western cultures are not usually very heavy in this department. The following are a great way to add some veggies to your diet: Sesame broccoli Lemon Pepper Broccoli Broccoli with Horseradish Sauce Fricassee of Curried Vegetables Garlic Cauliflower Marinated Cauliflower Salad Apple Cabbage Slaw Veronica Strangely enough, not all fats are bad for you. Fats from the Omega-3 group are always a good choice when eating healthy. The Omega-3 group includes fish-based oils and olive oil. There are lots of ways to encorporate this into your diet beyond olive oil salad dressings. Take a look at the following links for some ideas. Asian Style Grilled Salmon Rozanne Gold's Swedish Cured Salmon Roasted Cedar Plank Salmon Chardonnay Poached Salmon with Tomato Caper Relish Southwestrn Barbecue Salmon Apple Braised Salmon with Citrus Spiced Couscous Salmon & Potato Shish Kabobs Suzanne Somers' Crispy Mesquite Grilled Salmon or Trout Coriander, Fennel & Pepper Crusted Tuna (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) The Ultimate Tuna Salad Tuna & Capers Sandwiches Tuna Pasta Salad Tuna Steaks in Fennel Tomato Sauce Diets high in fiber are great protection from a variety of cancers, breast cancer included. You can start by tossing the white bread out and choosing whole grain wheat or oatmeal instead. Whole grain cereals, like Total and oatmeal, as well as whole grain bagels are always great breakfast choices too. For more ideas, take a look at the following links (you'll notice that many include cruciferous vegetables too making them some of the best breast healthy choices) : Root Vegetable Lasagna (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) Vegetable Packed Chicken Pot Pie (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) Citrus Spinach Salad Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille Salad Stuffed Tomatoes with Vegetables & Rice Lemon Blueberry Chicken Salad Mexican Style Chickpea Salad Black Bean Salad in Avocado Boats Apple Cabbage Slaw Veronica Pepper Slaw Jicama Mango Cole Slaw Spa Cuisine Beet & Onion Salad Sauerkraut Slaw Additional Resources The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention Beating Cancer With Nutrition Send your comments on this article to the editor Mail this article to a friend.
