Kimberly Gabelmann's new book, Con- scious Fork, opens with a note to the reader which states, "My greatest pas- sion lies in being a catalyst for posi1ve change in people, places, and experi- ences.... The Consciousfork® brand rep- resents a philosophy that emphasizes clean ea1ng (the fork), how food is pro- duced (the pitchfork), and fostering posi- 1ve change by being conscious at the forks in the road of life." This simple statement encapsulates the en1re tri- umphant message of the book, as Gabel- mann succeeds in crea1ng a work that can easily serve as the catalyst for change she strives to be. The book is split into two main parts, each of which is itself divided into three separate sec1ons. Part one, Three Forks, lays out Gabelmann's worldview and methodology. Part two, Recipes, is exactly that and forms the bulk of the material. Together they serve as a path for the reader: road markers we can use to guide our way as we embark upon a journey of profound self-discovery and evolu1on. Gabelmann's Three Forks are Mind, Body, and Soil. In Mind, she offers a series of truly upli"ing conscious manifes1ng tools, splashes of wisdom that anyone can easily grasp and use to their full advantage. Tips like a shi" in scenery can spark new per- spec1ves; embracing change; and crea1ng a mood board or vision board. They are Above: Apple Berry Cobbler.
