 Time To Give The Ol' Tie-Dyers Some Respect by Mark Morford

Go ahead, name your movement. Name something good and positive and pro-environment and eco-friendly that's happening right now in the newly "greening" America and don't say more guns in Texas or fewer reproductive choices for women or endless vile unwinnable BushCo wars in the Middle East lasting until...

For Those Born 1930-1979

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies, COVERED WITH A BLANKETS, in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when...

The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World

March 27, 2010 Sullivan, James.
 "The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World."  March 27, 2010.

Since I was born in 1958...I grew up during the 60's and early 70's..or more aptly..during the twiggy years.  "The fashion industry has been pushing their skeletal=beauty equation ever since Twiggy in the 60s, and since then, young women have been starving (and up-chucking) themselves to death in the pursuit of meeting those unhealthy standards."  commented Karin Fuller in a recent article. "It hasn’t always been that way, though. In paintings from the 19th century and earlier, beautiful wo...

Being

Being...
It is the letting go of all the
should's, the must's, the have-to's,
the have-nots, the cannots,
the doubts and the guilt.



It is allowing your thoughts to come forth -
without judgement.



It is allowing yourself to feel -
without judgement.



It is allowing yourself to do what you want -
without judgement.



It is allowing yourself to be who you are -
without judgement.



When you allow yourself to be,
You find
Peace, Freedom, Love and Joy
Within you.

I honour your choices to learn in the way you feel is right for you.
