Book Review - Gluten-Free Girl by Shauna James Ahern

I just came down to earth after reading Gluten-Free Girl by Shauna James Ahern. Her conversational style made me feel that she is an old friend. Her passion, respect and joy of good food is simpatico as I have written two recipe books myself.

It was a privilege to read the measures she took to heal herself from many years of undiagnosed celiac disease and how she turned her condition around to an uplifting experience. She helped herself along with so many who need this information, which she infuses with her genuine enthusiasm for both healing and good food!

While I am unable to shop in small markets to purchase the highest quality of any given item, reading of her association with vendors and her sniff-and-taste experiences redirected me to the delight and romance of excellent food. I cannot utter enough complimentary adjectives to explain how her creative gift of expression absorbed and transported me to another delightful dimension.

Her enthusiasm is contagious. I will be preparing her well-written, inspiring recipes immediately. My first choice is Chilled Millet Salad with Jicama and Mango. Yum!

I plan to reread Gluten-Free Girl for food preparation as well as for pure pleasure. For me food is love, and I feel her love for the reader on every page!

Dowsing

Some time ago, I was in an accident and required brain surgery. After going through such an experience, I depend on my pendulum and Pendulum Therapy to indicate when I should use gingko.

Pendulum Therapy is known as the "Art and Science of Dowsing." Dowsing is used to determine causes and solutions for a variety of problems. It is a system by which information and knowledge are gained in a most amazing way. The simple process involves tuning in to earth energies and using the resulting information for a higher purpose. Non-attachment is essential in obtaining an answer to a question. One must quiet the mind, focus on intention, and expect an accurate answer. I have been practicing dowsing for a long time to test what I should eat and if my supplements are appropriate on any given day. I find it most rewarding.
