What I’m Reading
I do this sort of thing on Fiction Scribe when there are a lot of interesting things I’ve read lately that I want to point to. I haven’t really had a need to do so here until things piled up on me this week.
So here we go!
Hanlie at Fertile Healthy has caught the Blah Bug that I’ve been dealing with the past few days. Head over and show her some love.
Cammy at Tippy Toe Diet has a giveaway going on for folks in the US. That doesn’t include me, so I figured I would promote it instead of entering. A copy of Eric R. Braverman’s Younger (Thinner) You Diet is up for grabs.
Foodie McBody at FoodFoodBodyBody put up a post last week that I have been itching to comment on here ever since I read it. Be Mindful, and Don’t Suffer is a post about Foodie’s ‘body philosophy’ for lack of better words. She talks about being mindful, being thankful, paying attention to what you eat and more. All points that I think most - if not all - of the diet plans, systems, etc miss completely. Definitely worth a read.
Why Health Advice on Oprah Could Make You Sick - Yes, there actually is someone out there who isn’t a fan of Oprah. This is a long article on how Oprah apparently doesn’t realize just how much she influences people and how she ‘innocently’ gears her shows to ‘innocently’ support causes she sometimes later denies. All up, it’s a reminder that we’re all different, so no one can be a true, infallible expert.
And there you have it! All the bits and bobs I’ve been wanting to point out over the past week or so.

I’ll have to check these out.
And I cannot stand Oprah. Cannot at all. Her attitude that she knows everything annoys me.

Thank you so much for sending some love my way! It helped! I’m much better today…

Thanks for the nod. (And I’m sorry about the US-only giveaway.)
I read that Newsweek link with great interest and was glad I did when the book I’m giving away mentioned the same topic.

Jenera - I don’t catch a lot of Oprah. She does things I’d like to do if I had that much money (give gifts and such) but she plays stupid (which I find annoying) when it comes to the influence she has.
Hanlie - So glad you’re feeling better.
Cammy - No worries. I’m used to it by now.
The article was quite interesting. Long, but interesting.
