Rusty's New Beginnings - A Heart Widening StoryIt begins with big brown eyes filled with experiences untold, maybe some sad, maybe some joyful. It doesn't matter to a dog even one without a home. Gratitude shows in the wagging of his tail, the ears perking up, a head resting on your lap, and the shyest [...]
One summer 4 years ago, I was traveling back from Montreal via Vermont and about 4 hours away from home. It was then I heard a story on NPR about the benefits of napping. Very dangerous subject for someone on a long drive but interesting nonetheless which kept me alert. I love napping but seem [...]
The first wave of heat has arrived. We are all feeling it and may escape to whatever cooling device works for you. I like many of my female peers and peeps, am feeling a little extra these days from menopause. I saw the production of Menopause about 8 years ago and couldn't believe that it [...]

Without adding one more thing to your busy life, why not try "letting go". How to develop the ability to "let go" is what Carmen led you through in this week's [...]
The Power of "Tucking in"Let us go down memory lane just a little. Do you remember as a kid growing up, the comforting, secure feeling you may have got from your parents tucking you in at night. I do. And I now see this every night with my younger daughter who relishes in this nightly [...]
I felt it and I am wondering if you did too? Today was a day of breakthroughs. As we let go of the physical holding up of our muscles, of our bones, of our nervous system, we can finally let go. The tidal wave of emotions roll through, the tight binding of the muscle fibers [...]
