Pulseit.com gives you the ability to read free books from time to time. I has some time to kill at the office yesterday while waiting on others so I could lock up. I started Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This book is one of many Dystopians, trust me, I do know.
It's the story of a world after a war fought over the importance of worth of life.Where every life is given a chance to prove its worth by the age of 18.If the person hasn't done that, they are unwound or harvested for parts.
This book hooked me like no other in a long time. The stories of Conner, Risa and Lev are all interesting on their own. A slacker, a good-but not exceptional musician and a tithe (or sacrifice) all on the path to being unwound and how they grow so much after the death sentence. Great read!
Now to grab up Unstrung!

Trying to be more health thoughtful
As I come,soon, to the end of a year of "the paleo lifestyle" I am sure of two things. One, I am on the right path for me and as anyone who is sure of something, I see how this thing could benfit others. But, it is HARD to talk to people about food without them feeling like you are judging them. Two, Eating whole foods is a darn near impossible feat in America today.
If you Pin rabbit recipes or how to cook Tongue to your food Pinterest , you get comment s like "gross" or " I could never..." But your ok with the merciless way meats and vegetables are grown and processed for your store shelves? The chemicals in the ingredients list that you have no idea what they are. It's scary stuff , it's time we wake up. "Food" is not safe. Don't believe me. Try it my way one month , document your health and mindset throughout the month and prove me wrong. If that's too extreme, cut sugar or grains for one month and tell me if anything has changed for the better or worse. As for me, it hasn't been an easy year, I have eaten things I knew were not good for me. ( heck, even today!) But I am thankful for the next year (or even the rest of today) to try again . XOXO Ashley
