A Cargo full of Literature


I have just discovered "Cargo Literary," a Canadian online literary magazine that publishes transformational travel experience.
Here is their "vision": "We publish creative nonfiction, memoir, personal essay, poetry, book reviews, and visual art including photography —submissions that evoke a strong sense of character, setting, movement, and the internal journey [...] Traveling invites us to shift our perspectives and asks us to draw upon the unfamiliar. Traveling seeks intention, requires communication.
Let's read together their latest issue here: https://cargoliterary.com/issue/winter-2019/

EnviroNutrition for a Healthy Reading Life

Rading and writing is not enough to lead a healthy, balanced life.

That's what "life designer" (architect-cum-nutritionist) Ye Chu suggests with her newly-devised, Vancouver-born concept of EnviroNutrition.
By the way, she uses a quote by the American writer & philosopher of good life Mark Twain to get her message through: "The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
