Signs

By Aynsley Saxe Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, there is another layer to this world that you can’t see? Maybe you’re like me. Maybe your rational mind has said to you, more than once, “not a chance”, “science rules”, “everything true must be proven”. I listened for a while to the banter... [Read more of this review]

You & Prince Swagger: Outsmarting the Bad Guys…

By Kirti Holmes When tireless lothario Jude Law recently declared that “women like bad boys…..being a good boy never worked for me,” I was reminded of my friend Jennie,* who a few months ago dumped her sensitive and romantic boyfriend in a microsecond, for someone who made a locker room of jocks look like a bunch of choir boys in comparison. Jennie’s... [Read more of this review]

Growers Are Inchworms

By Jeff Brown I am often contacted by people who beat themselves up because they have not progressed on their spiritual journeys as quickly as they hoped.

The uh, broadness, of my experience with the women throughout my life leaves me humble, optimistic, proud, and grateful.... [Read more of this review]

Release

I leaned against a very large tree the other day. I molded my entire back into its skin. I connected with its bark (not bite) and felt its deep, unwavering stability. It supported me fully and easily. It was a really good feeling. This time of year the leaves are letting go. Their beautiful colours float downward and rest in the earth. Nature teaches... [Read more of this review]

eat your mistakes whole

“There’s no such thing as a mistake.” Ha! This is one of my favourite New Age doozers. Puhleez. Like, getting hosed because you didn’t get it in writing wasn’t a major drag. And spilling your friend’s secret to the wrong person burnt that bridge to a crisp. Or not saying “yes!” to the one that got away – well, THAT sucked. There... [Read more of this review]
