Wow, I can't believe that today is November 1st! This year is moving much quicker than I expected. Maybe I have more on my plate than years past, or maybe the world is rotating at a faster rate. Either way, I feel both elated and overwhelmed about these final two months of 2010...

Food and diet are two things I don't blog about much. This is in part due to the confusion and unease I have around my personal eating habits. My goal is to embrace changes that improve my daily life—that make living this extraordinary adventure fuller, brighter and more satisfying...
