Dr. Peggy Parker speaking about and sharing samples from her book\:
OMG! That's Allergy Free? The Ultimate Gourmet Guide to Delicious Wheat-Fee\, Dairy-Free\, Sugar-Free\, Gluten Free food
...
As a traditionally trained Naturopathic and Biological Medicine
Physician and internationally renowned teacher and lecturer\, Dr. Peggy
Parker has earned a well-deserved reputation for progressive thinking
and innovative therapies in the field of natural medicine. Her
colleagues regard her as the foremost expert in world on the subjects of
pH\, cellular hydration\, cellular oxidation and transport of minerals
across cell membranes. However\, her family\, friends and blog followers
also recognize her as an accomplished chef\, cookbook author and expert
in the field of healthy and allergy free cooking and eating!
After years of clinical practice Dr. Parker discovered that the vast
majority of her patients' health complaints had food allergies as a
major component. She discovered that her patients rarely had only 1
food allergy or sensitivity\, but most cookbooks only address single
allergies. So OMG! That's Allergy Free? was written to help both her
patients and others who suffer from multiple food allergies enjoy
healthy\, nutritious and delicious gourmet-style food at home. This
cookbook is considered by many to be the resource for anyone who suffers
from food sensitivities or allergies!

Many of us were taught about mythologies where the Sun was a god but many cultures around the world celebrated the Sun as a Goddess! What are these Sun Goddesses like? As we head into the broiling heat of summer\, how does Sun - as female - affect us?

Praise for Aesthesia Balderdash\:
“Belatedly—like everything we wait for—Kathy Acker’s great\, I mean
really great\, grand‐daughter appears…in Louisiana\, naturally (or
un‐naturally). Her ‘blood runneth cheesecake’ who penneth this
collection of see-sick lyrics drunk w/ semantic play and painful as ‘all
lights…even stars.’ Vodicka’s Aesthesia Balderdash sisters the disaster
of gender in ways that matter\: ‘chronically\, / abashedly\, / rosily\,
cockily\, / dazzlingly.’ Not for the faint of art\, this is poetry that
cunts\, I mean counts.”

Writing through the dark… surrendering to the story that wants to be told"\;\: A reading and discussion with Novuyo Masakhane.
House of Jewels\: A Novel in progress. House of Jewels is a love story between two souls. It is the telling of Novuyo’s relationship with her Aunt Canis`spirit and the impact her restless soul has had on Novuyo life. As a child she heard bits and pieces of my aunt's story that always began with her murder in the Fall of 1955. Her death appeared in several news papers across the country and in many cases it became front page news.
This is a novel about both my family's history and an
essential part of America's rich and diverse cultural history and an inquiry into African American organized crime in the 1940's and
1950's.. The novel is a fictional story based in truth\, written in two time lines. China and Alonzo are trying to work out their love affair with the challenge of living in different cities and balancing their emerging careers. We travel back in time to the 1940s with Byrd as she aspires to become a famous dancer only to be met with a life she's not prepared for.
Dancer\, writer\, writing coach\, filmmaker\, inspirational teacher... Novuyo Masakhane\, born in Denver\, Colorado and raised in Southern California\, has worked as a professional artist for over 20 years. Novuyo was raised in the African American sacred and secular dance traditions and began performing at the age of three. She currently teaches writing classes for aspiring writers in Austin and also weekly classes in African Fusion Dance. Novuyo says she is a weaver of many gifts\, each one supporting the other.
