Hello everyone,

The Whole Woman team are working like busy bees to create content for all our new video sites in the Village. Also opening up our herb shop, Seedcraft, in both our virtual and real villages. We will have a steady supply of red clover tea and tincture!

The one thing I am finding it really hard to find time for is the Village Post. Very soon we will have a more formal way to solicit outside writers, but for now if anyone is interested in submitting an article or other creative work it would be most appreciated!

I have had two important lessons on Friendship over the past 24 hours. One was in the form of a letter sent to me by a dear friend telling me how much she appreciated my friendship. It made me think that the next edition of the Post might be on friendship. I try to keep a theme amongst the three articles and will continue to participate in Christine's Column. I just can't write all three! So, if anyone is interested in writing their deepest thoughts on friendship that would be so lovely. All our life experience is so worth sharing. Any other articles or creative works that you'd like to share are also most welcome and we will build editions around the different subjects.

To submit a work, just click on the submission tab at the Post and read through the simple guidelines - then send them to me by email.

Many thanks,

Christine

so are you wanting to do monthly articles or weekly? when do you want to 'publish' the village posts?

..it was weekly, but I can't keep up - so we changed it to "occasionally" - lol.
As soon as we have enough material we can publish weekly. It could be anything you want to share - poetry, music, dance, science - we have video capability in the Post.

Hi everyone

Selfish old me would like a list of I would like a list of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods. I know there is a lot of stuff on the Forums and a lot of websites I can consult, but it is all over the place.

I think it would be good to have an article, listing as many of these foods as possible, somewhere in the Village. I guess writing an article for The Village Post would be a DIY way of getting it all on one place, then Christine can put it in the Library or leave it in the Post, or use it for a basis of an article of her own, or whatever. I am thinking of listing the foods, the reason why they produce inflammation or reduce it, other foods that are similar, personal success or failure stories based on trying different foods that were recommended to you, and other things about food and inflammation, eg preparation methods.

I am happy to write the article myself or co-write it with other Members who have an interest in this subject.

Email me privately if you would like to co-write or contribute information to the article, and we can work out how to go about it, split the research, call for contributions from other Members, collect websites, etc. Perhaps we could do several articles on different aspects with each of us researching and writing on one aspect? Then we could use each other for checking adn reviewing our sections. I think it's called Peer Review. ;-)

I think an email group would work well for the planning and writing stages.

Email me if you are interested in participating, what role you would be prepared to fill, or if you have information to contribute, . You might just want to email me some URL's that have useful info, or offer to proofread it at the end, or take on a whole section of research, or something else. All contributions will be appreciated and acknowledged. Let's share the knowledge, share the load and share the rewards.

We also need to work by the Submission guidelines on The Village Post page (purple links at the top).

Hope to hear from 3 or four of you.
