The eclectic learner

How do you self publish a book? I am asked this question quite often now, soI have decided to put my little experience in writing to help you out. Here is the link you want: https://www.createspace.com/ I worked out lots of information after signing as much of the info only comes out after having a title etc and going through the whole process. For example the speed of the proof and the price are only found out in the very end of the order... So, let's go in order. To self publish a book you need to create an account with "Create space", which is the publishing arm of Amazon. Then you choose a title, you are given a free ISBN number, and you upload your own cover and your contents in pdf file. You can do this for free or you can you their (paid) services to create a cover and proof-read the book. You can also use their free templates (useful for margins, headers and page breaks). Usually people create the book in .doc and then upload it in .pd

For years friends and acquaintances have asked me questions about self reliance. After much research and pretty much repeating the same things I thought, 'that's it, I'm going to put the information together in a bundle and they can have it as a book.' This is how back to Basic was born. It's designed to help you if you are a beginner and have no clue about self reliance. Looking at the general state of the economy it's a good idea to organise our lives to live more frugally. Here are some of the topics: why we are in debt smart shopping budgeting dehydrating gardening sprouting home-made toiletries smart shopping for Christmas clever and cheaper ways to have fun You can buy it in paperback or as a Kindle.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-basics-make-through-times/dp/146641152X Back to Basics Get started with your self reliance today!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-basics-make-through-times/dp/146641152X When I wrote my book, Back to basics, I quickly realised that I couldn't write everything people need but just the top things, the very basics, unless I had the YellowPages in mind. So many topics can be studied more thoroughly by looking at the links I suggested in the book. For those of you who asked (you know who you are) here are the links!

Good afternoon! Last week, after much pondering, I enrolled in the Family Herbalist course at the School of Natural Healing (Springville, Utah). I have studied the biography of Dr. Christopher and I am amazed at the quality of his formulas and his results with all sorts of diseases. I am trying one of theses formulas right now and will be talking about each of them in the future. Meanwhile you can browse yourself Dr. Christopher's products and find out what they can do for you. Amazon reviews are quite handy for this! Franz

This recipe was sent to me as part of Karen Knowler's newsletters. I tried it and tweaked it to my liking.....it's very good and overly sweet!  Chocolate (Carob) Pudding Ingredients: * 2 avocadoes * 1 cup dates * 1/2 cup raw carob powder or cocoa powder * optional mint syrup   * Water as needed (dates give a hard time to  the  blades if they are not in water) Directions 1) Simply blend all ingredients in a food processor or with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy. (A blender can’t cope with this almost solid, sticky mixture) 2) Taste test before serving. Add more avocado if you'd like it richer and/or creamier, add more dates for extra sweetness or more carob/cocoa for a stronger chocolate flavour. 3) Serve on its own or with raw ice-cream for the ultimate treat. RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS: * This recipe will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge. Comment from Franz: this pudding is extra ric
