why do women hate Keira Knightley?
Last week I saw something, perhaps on IMDB or on some blog site, about how universal it is for women to hate Keira Knightley. First of all, I think it's a pretty strong and alarming word to say that you "hate" anyone, whether you know them or not. I think we could all benefit from......Read More

Good Lord I love my friends
Maybe it was sitting outside in the sun, barefoot in the soft grass, under beautiful trees amid the energetic summer wind...but I came back to my desk and began thinking about how much I absolutely LOVE my friends. I was pondering the upcoming monthly meeting of Movie Talk Valley......Read More

Henna day
I thought I would share what has become a really lovely ritual for me with anyone out there who might be curious about using henna to color your hair. First of all, WHY use henna instead of a simple, quick chemical color? There are a few reasons, but the most compelling (I think) is......Read More

families are tough
We've all felt that way at some point, I know. It's the classic love/hate relationship because on some levels you know one another so well the button pushing can be intense, but on the other hand you also have to understand that there are sides and aspects to you and your family that you will......Read More

wine at the office!
Ok, I definitely work for the coolest damn guy on the planet.

my spiritual name
Once upon a time, a transplanted Chicago gal began a journey down an enchanted path called Kundalini Yoga.

are there any gentlemen out there?
That's a rhetorical question, because I know there ARE some still in existence; I'm fortunate enough to know a few, but this morning I had one of those concentrated experiences that makes me wonder about the devolving of society. I was walking out of my local coffee joint right behind two......Read More

mama earth
I was lying in the grass outside on my lunch break, enjoying a nap under the trees and then watching the world go about its business when some thoughts floated in, as they often do.
