25 Lessons
January 29, 2010
By Rory Freedman
Well, here we are at the end of January. Have you stuck with all your New Year’s resolutions? I always appreciate the chance for self improvement, but for some reason, New Year’s resolutions just don’t feel real to me. So this year, I decided to do something different. Instead of making a list of things I wanted to change in the upcoming year, I decided to reflect on some things I learned this past year.… Read More >
Just Jump
January 22, 2010

You know the parable of the frog: If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. But if you put a frog in a pot that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and gradually heat it until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. This is a pretty good illustration… Read More >
When The Universe Plays Hard To Get
January 21, 2010
By Guest Blogger
I often think that the Universe needs a lot of help from me to move things along in the exact direction I would like them to go. And I comply by: doing, doing, worrying, stressing, obsessing, and then doing some more. This results in me being exhausted and frustrated without a lot to show for it, and what I like to call the, “I’m banging my head against a brick wall and it ^@$*^% hurts!”… Read More >
Soul Mates
January 13, 2010
By Guest Blogger
The new year is upon us and full of possibilities. That was hard for me to imagine not too long ago, when I was single and wanting a boyfriend….feeling desperately single in my 20’s and 30’s and early 40’s. I had a great life in many ways, I just wanted someone to love and to love me. I barely let myself imagine ever being married to a wonderful man. Fear not! This post has a… Read More >

It’s that time again. The holidays are here. For many people there are gifts to make or purchase, parties to go to, family gatherings to attend, and lots of planning to do. I feel stressed already!

This can be a challenging thing to do when faced with… Read More >
YES to More Self Love for YOU

By Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
How well and often do you love yourself? Are you your own best friend? How kindly and exquisitely do you tend to your own soul? Your answers to these questions may reveal an opportunity to practice more self-love.

The Lovetarian Diet
August 26, 2009
By Gabrielle Bernstein
Four years ago, I decided to clean up my mind and become a loveatarian. Choosing loving thoughts over fearful delusions was a tough transition at first. Giving up fear is like giving up sugar. Much like sugar, fear is a sneaky ingredient that hides out in everything. And just when you think you’ve got it under control all of sudden it pops up again. Therefore releasing fearful patterns requires you become a loveatarian. One of… Read More >
Making Love a Habit
August 19, 2009
By Wendy Strgar
“Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing…I am not aware of any other factor in medicine- not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery- that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death from all causes.”… Read More >

Wiener Roast
May 7, 2009
By Joshua Katcher
Last summer my meat-eating friends suddenly stopped inviting me to their barbecues. I wondered what the heck I had done wrong, and felt like an outcast. I had always brought tofu-dogs and veggie-burgers, and enough buns for everyone. I had some really conflicting feelings about it. I was sad to be intentionally excluded from this rite of male bonding. Standing over red-hot coals and pressing those handsome grill lines onto my zucchini slices and portobello… Read More >
Taking Fun Seriously
May 18, 2008
Wow, it’s Monday AGAIN, how did that happen? It’s no fair that the weekend is only 2 days long! Who was in charge of that decision? As history goes, depending who you talk to, I suppose it was God. Perhaps she should have taken into consideration that fun barely has a chance to shake its tail feather in that stingy time frame. Just when our groove gets juicy funky it’s time to go back to… Read More >
