Our Amazing Brains!
I spend a lot of time in awe and amazement thinking about our amazing human body: the physical component of our human body, and the emotional and spiritual side. I love the body so much I earned my B.S. in nutrition and Ph.D. in molecular biology so I could understand it better. What [...]

Your Body is a Fortress, Part 8 – Go Nuts!
[Photo courtesy Athena's Pix]
An easy way to build a stronger body fortress is to pay attention to what you eat.
OK, stop it.
Stop it right there.
I can hear what you’re thinking! (Seriously, I really can.)
“Do you have to take us there!? This is so boring. I’m going to eat what I want, when I want. Ugh, [...]
Blue

I’ve been drawn to blue lately, more than usual—blue ‘anything.’
Blue skies
Blue photos
Blue marbles
Blue sketch pads
Blue ocean
Blue incense smoke (as pictured at the top of this post)
I am a scientist by training, but I’m also a certified HHP (holistic health practitioner/massage therapist) and have spent a substantial slice of my life trying to [...]
I’m Showing – Not Telling
[Photo Credit]
There’s a flurry of conversation blowing around the microsphere of the web I inhabit—a snowstorm initiated by Lisis Blackston at Quest for Balance.
I must say I’m not shocked—that girl tells it like she sees it. (Good for you, Lisis!) I mean, geez, for a woman who has previously compared her ideal post length in [...]
My Writing Experiment – The End
The Short Version:
50,414 words in 19 days
I won NaNoWriMo!
(OK, so I only won a badge for my website and a PDF certificate, but I also have a draft of my first novel. How cool is that?)
The Longer Version:
I think anyone who earns a living by writing or teaching writing should be put in a special [...]

Special Note: The JaneBeNimble SHOP is open [see new button on sidebar]!
I recently opened the not-for-profit JBN SHOP to help support the arts with the goal of offering grants to schools and awarding scholarships to artists. I only feature items that I feel are extraordinary and I will directly ship them to you. [...]
Your Body is a Fortress, Part 5 – Your DNA Suitcase
There’s a lot to talk about when mentioning the word, ‘DNA.’
Lots.
One aspect of DNA that I came oh so very close to specializing in (but not quite) is how all that genetic information is packaged. Think about this: stretched end-to-end, you have about six feet of DNA in every cell of your body. Yowzers!
As a [...]
What You See
I used to run up, or ride my road bike up, this one huge hill it at least once, if not twice a day. When I eventually made it to the top, I always saw this image.
I snapped this photo later in the day one afternoon, but in pretty much all shades of daylight, the tree [...]
