No Comments » November 15th, 2011 Frances For the people who are lounging on a beach soaking up the sun sipping a favorite hot day drink, well, I’ll just say that you’re missing the delightful season of autumn.

October 8th, 2011 Frances Three websites to ponder: There’s a woman out there who has an incredibly interesting story, and listening to it was quite entertaining. If you have about ten minutes to watch her video, what she says might leave you wondering about certain things. Then again, some on google call her a fraud, and others can’t seem [...]
October 7th, 2011 Frances Sometimes when we’re on a path, whether it be spiritual (perusing books, attending workshops, retreats, reading about the religions of the world, spending time learning about and practicing ancient and modern teachings), or health (exploring what’s out there so as to get a handle on the foods and right exercises that work for our own [...]
October 6th, 2011 Frances Reading The Compassionate Life by Marc Ian Barasch for 15 minutes every day lends a nice touch to the day.
