I just packed up a bunch of stuff to go to the resale shop. Not exactly a newsflash, I know. But it a way, it was a monumental step for me. I also threw away a bunch of hose and stockings and their associated et ceteras, because I can’t remember the last time I wore […]
Kids, we need to talk about something – again – that we all know but far too many of us don’t actually do. Here’s the rule: What you focus on is what you attract. Here’s a fact: Social media sites act like … big swirling vortexy echo chambers. Directive: Stop reposting every goddam meme you

Life Goal: To live as magical a life as is humanly possible. Oh, I talk about other goals, smaller, more manageable things like growing SoundWorks into a community of healers and artists working together in a multitude of vibrational modalities . . . which is not small, but it’s not as big as live as magical

In a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, engineers observed the first driving test for NASA’s Mars 2020 rover on Dec. 17, 2019.
