Well, here we go.
I want to get this out of the way right from the start: I'm not a blogger. In fact, the idea of writing a blog makes me a little queezy. It's not that I don't feel I have anything to say, it's more the soul-crushing fear that I'm not good enough to say it properly, you know, with words and stuff.
Well my friends, the time is now. I'm doing it. I'm blogging. I feel great.
So, what exactly is this thing? Well, I guess you could call it a food blog; however, I intend for it to be much more. Oh yes, there will be recipes..accompanied by a few out-of-focus photos I'm sure..but my real goal, the goal that set this whole thing in motion, is to make food-based holistic healthcare accessible for everyone. That's me setting the bar high, btw. Hurrah!
Over the last few years, my wife and I have been diligently working to heal our daughter from type 1 diabetes. During this campaign, we've amassed a wealth of information and have employed a myriad of different modalities, and now, thanks to a few well-timed kicks in the butt, I'm ready to start sharing what we've learned. While there will definitely be a diabetic focus to my posts, the content in no way is just for diabetics. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from the recipes and insights that will be shared.
A note on content: I don't intend to use this blog as a soapbox to voice my opinions on GMOs, vaccines, Big Pharma, and the precarious process that is our current healthcare system. If I do, please feel free to jump in and smack me. Theses topics are incredibly important, and very much need to be discussed, but that's beyond the scope of this blog. I am here to simply share recipes, insights, healing techniques, and above all....wait for it....LOOOVE! Yeah, I know, trite right? It's so easy to get caught up in the negatives of this (or any) disease, the conspiracies of causation, the primitive protocols, the endless testing. Well, that s**t does fly here. Negativity does not heal, so we've no place for it. Love heals. Hate and anger breed dis-harmony and dis-ease. We cool?
In the coming weeks, I will try my best to present timely, well-thought-out posts. I'm going to go ahead and assume that there will also be the odd untimely, random, off-the-cuff posts. I know me pretty well, and that's just how I roll. Please, I beg you, have patience, I'm new. Ask questions. Make requests. Stir s**t up. Our collaboration is what will drive this thing forward, and I will do my darndest to keep up with you.
Um...so now what? I guess I should post a picture or something up top, yeah?
