A blog with an attitude is like a room with a view or a life with a purpose....it is not a necessity, in fact, we can live our lives quite happily without it, but it can also make our spirits soar and expand our horizons in ways that we could not have imagined.

So I have discovered some blogs with an attitude. They are inspirational, opinionated and entertaining with useful information about health, nutrition, food and a love of life. Cucina Nicolina gives us her tips for successful parties that sparkle; a great recipe for plum kuchen from veganyumyum and great tips on simplifying your life from Zen Habits. I have added these and many more to my blog list.

All of these blogs will provide us with insights and inspiration as we look at macrobiotics, health and nutrition from a fresh perspective. Of course, a strict macrobiotic diet can be great if you are sick but, I think, on this blog we are going to relax a little and look at other aspects of macrobiotics; we will expand the diet by looking at other traditions and cultures, we will look at eastern philosophies and their benefits, as well as trends that incorporate biodiversity and a more ecofriendly approach to our busy lives. We hope to have a blog with an attitude so stay tuned.
