There have been a lot of dark, cold days lately. Days like this my back, neck, and other joints ache. I can’t stand up for more than a few minutes at a time, and doing pretty much anything sucks the energy right out of me. Days like this, I can spend more time resting than …
Record cold temperatures, including the coldest Mardi Gras on record. Snow that won’t go away; thousands without heat or water. An almost year-long pandemic that has killed so many people it’s actually lowered the average life expectancy. Lost jobs, small businesses closing, politicians who only care about people who are able to give them lots …
It’s no secret that I’m a big science nerd. There is no doubt that science changed our world. But I can understand how scary that can be, especially for folks who may not really understand a lot about science or how things work. That lack of understanding may lead to fear and distrust. To a …

Summer has an impressive bio, including development of Hay House Radio, where she was co-host on Wayne Dyer’s show for several years. I came to …
I’m a Southern Girl, born and raised in a tiny town in Tennessee. As proud as I am of where I grew up, there is still a lot that I wish wasn’t part of the picture. To the north of my tiny hometown is Dayton, the home of the infamous Scopes “Monkey” Trial. A young …

I read recently where approximately 10% of American families rent storage facilities to keep things they don’t need, don’t use, but can’t bring themselves to get rid of.
