Conscious Eating:

A little over two years ago, November 14,2014, Joanie was in an auto accident. The kind of accident where everything slows down and you see it coming and it doesn't make sense. A truck was coming straight at her (front passenger seat). There was impact, the air bags exploded and then a horrible acrid smell. Fortunately, because they were in a very large SUV there were no broken bones. Joanie had some soft tissue damage and her husband's face was cut by the airbag. As odd as it sounds, this event was the beginning of a Whole-food/Plant-based No Oil way of eating for Joanie. She writes about that journey and how she has incorporated it with her study/teaching of the Alexander Technique and her coaching of Life-Skills in her blog.
