San Francisco hosted the 2011 New Life Expo—current name of the Whole Life Expo popularized in the 1970s. Its function is to bring together like-minded people fascinated with the metaphysical world.

Consuming literature at lunchtime in the organic food court was a favorite pastime for attendees. Participating as a guest... Read more

Elizabeth Edwards was  laid to rest Tuesday, December 7, 2010 after a brave battle with breast cancer. However, some people are more focused on her scandalous marriage and messy divorce than her accomplishments as a mother and woman in the public eye.  Bloggers speculate on whether Elizabeth will be remembered as a fighter or a victim. Personally, I will remember her as one of my heroes.   Even in the face of extreme adversity, Elizabeth Edwards always presented herself as... Read more

My sister-n-law sent me this e-mail and it was so true and beautiful.  I’m sharing it with you. In these busy times, staying in touch can be difficult but not impossible, and emails can make it easier. So the next time someone forwards you an email, see it as a sign of friendship and pass on the love.

When I landed in Frankfurt, Germany, my birthplace as an Army-brat, the same dreary weather greeted me that I had left in Boston, MA.

According to... Read more

A four-year scientific study recently made public by the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) had disturbing findings.... Read more

Part 2 of the BLOG from the Radio Show: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebodymindandspiritnetwork/2012/09/05/beyond-the-5-senses Tarot cards were originally used to play a card game that was very similar to bridge.
