The alarm went off this morning when I was in the middle of a vivid dream. Has that ever happened to you? Reaching out an arm to switch it off, I curled under the covers again and tried to keep it going. I wasn’t finished with it yet. I tried to resume what was happening when I was so rudely

“Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future” – Bill Cosby As the mother of 2 teenage girls, I often find myself in the position of offering advice and words of wisdom.  What I’ve noticed in the process of doing this, is that I too usually learn something when I revisit the lessons I’m trying to teach.  The

I’ve recently tried acupuncture (at age 49!) with one of the Wholistic Women practitioners to relieve some running pain in my IT band.
