Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am the founder and owner of PivotPointe Media Group in San Diego, California, a creativity-based, socially- and environmentally-active publishing, production, and training company. Among other things, I'm the creator and co-author of "The Backstage Gourmet Cookbook: Favorite Vegetarian Recipes from the World of Music," which features recipe contributions from Dudley Moore, Dennis Weaver, Kitaro, Keiko Matsui, The Ventures, Junior Marvin (Bob Marley & the Wailers), Nancy Rumbel, Bill Ward (Black Sabbath), Mike Pinder (Moody Blues), and more. Too, I'm a veteran radio person, including hosting, producing, writing, editng, and promoting AM/FM/Internet shows. One of the eco-programs, "Global Gig...Music for the Planet," featured guests like Ed Begley, Jr., Ted Danson, Linda Blair, Rue McClanahan, Olivia Newton-John, Edward James Olmos, Richie Havens, Kirstie Alley, and Woody Harrelson and their Earth-saving efforts and campaigns. Currently I'm the host /writer/co-producer of "The Backstage Gourmet Radio Show" on HealthyLife.Net, which airs Mondays, 1- p.m. Pacific Time. Our theme is "Great green cuisine meets great global music." Victoria (Moran) was my special guest this week and was sparkling and informative. I'm also a former newspaper editor, writer, and photographer. My background/education/experience is in Community/Clinical Psychology, arts & entertainment, the environment/animals/nature, Early Childhood Education/Child Development, entrepreneurship. For over 30 years, I've worked with a variety of causes, including the environment, animal rights, and violence against girls and women. I've headed up rape/sexual assault and suicide 24-hour crisis hotlines and worked on benefit albums and concerts for VAW educational and fundraising efforts. I launched Violence Against Women: Reclaiming Your Spirit last year, based on a sourcebook by the same name I'm penning. There's a Web site going up soon at www.vawreclaimyourspirit.com, and we presented a conference in English and Spanish in November to help women and girls who have been subjected to violence move forward from victim to survivor to thriver.

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.
It should smell ripe too.
pineapple eats everyone. Its true. Aloe vera water maybe?
Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
