I read the excerpt of your book that appeared in _Church Life Journal_. Earlier today, I posted a note with a link to it, not knowing that you were on Substack. The algorithm then put your post in my feed. I hope to read the rest of your book in the future. May you recover as fully as your grandfather did.
He didn’t get bladder cancer because he used butter, he was probably just drinking the regular water coming out of his tap
I live in New Hampshire and we have one of the highest rates of bladder cancer Because our water has a lot of naturally occurring arsenic in it and people don’t know unless they seek out the information. So they guzzle tapwater thinking they’re being healthy and meanwhile they’re filling their bodies with arsenic and PFAS and sometimes radon depending on what city you are in
I really liked this one, Helen. My health stuff is very different from yours, but I’m struggling to figure out whether some variant of the refined sugar hypothesis is true for me. I think I sort of bought into it, but this is really making me wonder what I should actually be doing—and there are no good data so far as I can tell.
The English expression 'finding joy' contrasts with creating it. It seems ludicrous but in savouring every little bit while things are not good keeps one going. The productivity mindset suffocates even when one is in good health. Life is what we made of it; as we thirst for achievement maybe it's our daily joy that keeps us going. Crisis doesn't always have to change someone for anyone to have grown. I wish you full recovery soon!

Thank you! I hope this too!
Butter is real food. Margarine is processed slop.

Sending you more joy! 🌞 Also if you like Inspector Morse (I do too!) you may like Signora Volpe on Acorn. Italy! 🤗
