Dr. Christiane Northrup says, "The things that make us weep contain something we need to know about."
On this day, I, like you, weep for Boston, Newtown, Aurora, Oslo, Bagdad and countless other places on earth where violence and bloodshed cover the hills, valleys, mountains, streets and streams of...

As with most great movies, there are many parallels to our shared experience as human beings in the most recent blockbuster, "The Hunger Games."
I loved this movie. And now, I must read the books.
In one of the film's many memorable scenes, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), co-star who is in love...

In life, we experience two kinds of fear: real fear, and psychological fear. Or, as I prefer to think of the latter, ego-fear.
In the words of Immanuel Kant, the ego is “our precious little self.” Or as Eckhart Tolle calls it, “the voice in the head.” It isn’t who you really are, but the you that...
