The book Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care gave me so much material to rant about, I broke it up into two parts. If you’re ready for another dose, here’s part two. Keep Reading
Issa’s Reviews: Raising Baby Green Part One
| November 22, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Parenting, Simple-Eco-Happy |
Lately, I’ve been perusing the pregnancy section of the library. I came across Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care. I’m not really looking for any guidance on “green” topics, but it is a topic I care about, and I figured I could at least review it for LoveLiveGrow. Plus, in the meantime, I might learn a thing or two.
Instead of any education or pleasure, though, all I got out of this book were frustration, anger, and incredulous sputters. Keep Reading

The Artist’s Way – Introduction
| August 16, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
The Artist’s Way is a 12 week roadmap to uncovering and unblocking your creativity. It’s a spiritual program and a practical program, both of which interest me right now. The practical aspect especially appeals to me. There are exercises and specific activities to follow along with, and I’m committed to trying them, even if they seem silly at the time. Keep Reading
Book Review of The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler
| August 5, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Mother Culture |
While at the library, I happened upon the book The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler. It’s subtitle is, “Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century”. It seemed like an important book to dive into and a great random library find, so I snatched it up. I didn’t recognize Kunstler’s name at first, but now that I’ve noticed it on this book, I’ve see that his name pops up now and then in other writings I encounter, so appreciate having this book under my belt to fill out the other things that I read.

More Endgame
| July 1, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Mother Culture |
Prior to picking up either of these books, I was already convinced. Jensen says “Civilization is not and can never be sustainable…” and “Our way of living is based on and requires…persistent and widespread violence,” and “Civilization is not redeemable. This culture will not undergo any sort of voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living…” and I already agree. He makes bold claims such as “The only sustainable level of technology is the stone age,” and I don’t immediately jump to argue. Keep Reading
