The Color Purple by Lisa Karmen

I have been thinking about the color purple in particular this quote from the inimitable and amazing Alice Walker: “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.” Purple is a secondary color meaning it is made by blending two primary colors in equal portions, 50% RED plus 50% BLUE equals 100% PURPLE. In the United States the Country is 50/50 and now the Senate is 50/50 so we are no longer Republican Red and/or Democrat Blue. Now, WE LITERALLY ARE PURPLE.

Glaucoma: An Integrative Medical Approach by Dr. Marc Grossman, OD, LAc

ID, 'post_img', true)?>

Glaucoma (chronic open angle) is the most common form of glaucoma, and is an insidious disease that can be difficult to detect until a significant amount of vision is lost. The reason it is so dangerous is that most people with glaucoma have no symptoms. Many feel no pain, and most have 20/20 visual acuity, although possibly only straight-ahead vision. But left untreated, glaucoma can slowly steal your peripheral vision until you think you’re peering through a tunnel (at best) or until you go blind (at worst).

The Light During the Dark of the Year by Tim Walter

If you’ve visited my YouTube channel recently you will know that as a house healer and alternative life coach I help people move their lives towards a greater sense of well-being. That means helping them move from a state of mind that is troubled by aspects of their seeming external environment towards one of harmony, peace and flow.
