The Anti-Consumerist Druid
I received a digital ARC for this book from the author. There are two kinds of books about consumerism, those that are annoyingly preachy, making you feel like a loser for not living a completely frugal life and those that are relatable and help you see points in your own life that you could improve while still embracing life. T his book was definitely one of the latter. As Katrina Townsend says, over-saturation can make you feel “bludgeoned with more things I ought to be doing” and overwhelmed as well as costing you a bundle trying to go green or frugal. You need to be mindful at take it slowly. H er interest in Druidry and spirituality helped her find focus. From the start I was drawn in by Townsend’s friendly tone and nonjudgmental style. S he showed her own failings and made it clear that it is normal to be drawn into the cycle of consumerism in our modern lives. Her story is probably at least a little familiar to most of us. Haven’t most of us been sucked in by the serotonin cycle...
You are a serious chocophile!

ReplyDeleteI've had some honey-chocolate vegan combos that were just divine! They aren't always easy to find though.
ReplyDeleteYum, yum, and yum again!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is entirely OT to the heart of your lovely video, but I just have to say how much I adore the top you are wearing here. I have a somewhat similar looking one and am all but counting down the hours until it is warm enough to sport it (sans a heavy winter coat on top, that is) outside again soon.
May your week be sweeter than all of your wonderful vegan chocolate finds combined.
