Is the Law of Attraction Crap?

Okay, maybe that is a bit terse, but after so many months of sharing thoughts on trying to live in the present moment, being positive, getting clear, and all that “woo-woo” stuff, I feel like kicking it all in the pants. And admit it; haven’t you wondered or wanted to do the same thing?

A New Earth Webcast Chapter 1

I was first made aware of Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth, in the monthly Kripalu e-newsletter.  In the newsletter was a link for some of Eckhart’s radio broadcasts.  A click on that link brought me to a link for Eckhart’s web site which in turn brought me to a link to Oprah and the webcast.  [...]

The Energy Vampires

This week in the Great Big Dreams e-seminar we are discussing energy and those things that drain our energy.  I refer to them as “energy sucks.”  They are like little energy vampires that slowly drain you.
