Spent by Frank Lipman, M.D., with Mollie Doyle
"The key here is your environment -- the amount of physical, psychological and other stressors that are wearing you down-- and Lipman has designed a simple, creative and easy to follow program for adding or removing the little things that are within your control. The beauty of this program is that its baby steps -- 42 of them, or 6 weeks worth -- but there's nothing radical or overwhelming, and that's what makes it so easy to follow. If you've been suffering from any of these symptoms, then Spent may be the jump start that you need to get back to wellness.”

Quick Summer Soup Recipe with Heather Flournoy of Katonah Green
" This time of year we have loads of fresh veggies available from gardens and farmer's markets and local farms. I'd like to share a recipe for a quick soup I make at least once a week, often several times a week. It only takes about 20 minutes from start until it's in your bowl. It's easily adaptable to what you have on hand, hearty, yummy and incredibly healthy because it's raw and therefore retains its enzyme activity and all of the nutrients of fresh vegetables."

The Challenge of Your Transformation by Ingrid Bacci, PhD, CST
"Let yourself be adventuresome. Embrace the call of the next phase of your life. Take heart. A big heart is a courageous heart. The word courage comes from the French word "coeur" that means heart. Be in your heart. Own your life. Own your courage. Let yourself fall, so that you can find your new ground. That new ground will support you even as the old ground crumbles. Practice trusting that fact."
Ancient Worlds
Crop Circles Call for New Attention by Suzanne Taylor
"Finding out we aren't alone would be a huge deal. And, if that were established, there could be more. If they are visiting us, the technology possessed by "the other" would have to be more advanced than ours, and what they would be capable of perhaps could help us solve the environmental problems that threaten our very survival."
