November 2009 Edition
Howdy!
Wow. It's nearly November. Where did October go? What I remember of the 3
days it seems that was October was the absolute stunning beauty on the
deep reds and neon oranges of the leaves this season. It felt to me like
3-D, though we're in 3-D already, so some sort of 4-D! Several times this
month, I had to stop and just breathe as the colors came to life.
November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Visit
www.lustgarten.orgfor more info. This is one of the most aggressive and lethal of cancers. I
donate a lot of time and effort to cancer organizations, especially this
one, because if I can help one person not have to go through this, or not
have to go through what my father and family had to deal with, then all
the time in the world is worth that.
November is also Vegan Month! What a perfect time to add more veggies and
meat alternatives to your diet! Plus, going vegetarian/vegan is the single
best thing that any individual can do to combat global warming! It's
better than getting a Hybrid car actually! And you will see immediate
health benefits, too!
See you soon.
