The struggle we have with food is universal. Yet many of the world's religions value the simple act of eating as a powerful means of self-discovery and spiritual transcendence. Eating with mindfulness brings us into the moment, helps us understand what it means to be alive, and connects us to the mystery and source of all living things. The power of mindfulness changes how we choose, prepare, and eat our food. It can offer us a kind of satisfaction that goes beyond our basic, physical needs. When we follow the mindful diet, we don't fill ourselves up; we are fulfilled.

201 Unique Ways to Make Your Wedding Special

Los Angeles, CA, June 23, 1999 -- Wedding planning has finally come of age -- the computer age, that is. A dream wedding can be planned almost entirely over the Internet, according to Don and Sanda Altman, authors of a new book, 14 Day Wedding Planner With Internet Guide. Published by Los Angeles-based Moon Lake Media, it is the first book that shows how to use the Internet to plan a wedding. The book, which also features a unique, theme wedding planner, streamlines the planning process -- good news for today's time challenged and stressed out working brides and grooms.Unlike author Don Altman's first book, 201 Unique Ways to Make Your Wedding Special, this new one was developed out of necessity. Like any busy, career oriented couple getting married, he says, we found ourselves fighting the clock. Our careers and family obligations seemed to absorb every available second, leaving us with little time or energy for the myriad of wedding decisions we had to make. 14 Day Wedding Planner With Internet Guide saved our sanity and helped us create the dream wedding we always wanted -- faster, stress-free, and for less than we ever imagined.14 Day Wedding Planner With Internet Guide follows along with a basic wedding calendar. A 'Web Tips and Internet Guide' located at the end of each chapter makes it easy to find Web sites and resources relating to a chapter's particular theme and planning tasks. Included are tools for wedding budgeting, shared planning calendars for the bride and groom, online sources for thousands of different gowns, online etiquette advice, a host of online announcement and bridal registry options, online wedding music and DJs, limousines, tips on using theInternet to find local caterers and florists, honeymoon and travel planning tools, and Internet price comparisons. There are even handy time saver sites, such as a nationwide marriage license finder site and sites that can print out a free map of your wedding reception -- in just seconds.While the Internet can save wedding planners a vast amount of time, energy, and even money, 14 Day Wedding Planner With Internet Guide features a unique theme planning system that makes planning easier -- even without using the Internet. What really makes the book special, says Altman, is the approach that gives each chapter, or planning stage, a central theme. So instead of organizing a number of disconnected items, you can focus on related things. For example, we have a chapter for planning all the mood setting elements, such as crafting the ceremony, and choosing the music and invitations. Working on all these things together gives you a better idea of the big picture of what you're trying to create. That's a big benefit. One chapter you put on your creative hat, another chapter your shopping hat, and so on. Not only is this more fun, but it makes sense, and it helps you focus and accomplish your goals with greater purpose, productivity, creativity, and vision. There's no other wedding planner like it. The authors used it to plan their own wedding -- a complete event for nearly 100 guests that included separate ceremony and reception sites with extensive floral arrangements and live music, photography, videography, a three-tiered cake, a candle light ceremony and reception, a stretch white limo, and more.Altman points out that his entire wedding was put together in no more than a total of14 days -- unconsecutively. Still, he advises that planners think in terms of planning stages -- rather than days -- which can stretched over a period of months, or even a year. Either way, you'll save on stress and time, he says. Did his own wedding go off without a hitch? Well, almost, says Altman, until the photographer got totally lost and nearly didn't make it to the ceremony.
