Feeding your kids natural snacks that are fast and easy to prepare can be a challenge for fathers who aren’t so natural in the kitchen. Depending on how often you prepare food for your kids, the chorus of “I’m hungryyy… what can I have to eat?” may make you grab for your keys...

When folks find out I’m vegan, right after declaring that they would die without cheese, they usually ask various nutrition-related questions. Often, the questions are about where you get your protein, but sometimes they wonder about calcium or other nutrients like B12. I’m a...

I’m a thirty something woman who loves writing, making messes in the kitchen, reading labels on food packets and getting irate when people take a plastic carrier bag for one loaf of bread in the supermarket.

Water. H2O. Agua. Eau. It makes up most of our bodies, and covers most of our planet. Although some may take it for granted, less than 1% of the world’s fresh water (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct huma...

Last week, I laid out the first of six arguments about religion — arguments that I have found interesting and worth exploring in depth. The first argument was that if you chose the wrong religion, you’d waste years of your life. The second argument is that religious beliefs are frequently inconsistent.

Christianity, for example, has a huge body of scripture written over the course of 3,000 years, and things don’t always square up. The Old Testament says “An eye for an eye,” and the New Testament says “turn the other cheek”; Jesus says “blessed are the peacemakers” and “I bring not peace but a sword” (is the Son of God himself not blessed? Or can some warmakers be blessed too? Or did Jesus mean something else entirely?); etc. There are various ways in which these conflicts can be resolved, but sometimes the logic gets quite pretzeled.

Last week’s post about Travel and Leisure’s top ten scenic train rides espoused the lower environmental impact of rail travel along with being able to experience the inherent beauty of earth’s natural vistas. In this case, the environmental angle only represents a minor portion of the equation.

Many people will say that they do not notice synchronicities in their lives.  Reflect on your own. What if you begin to recognize that every moment, your experience is what you truly desire?  That may be a wake-up call. Could you be missing something?

The desire to connect  with day-to-day moments enables you to perceive them differently.  You can experience things on a fuller, deeper level.  You can sense that every circumstance is part of a process of coming to know who you are and what you are not. 

As you begin to choose wisely, you allow yourself to sense how love, peace of being and abundance communicate with you through every situation.  Shift your focus.  Awaken to the joy and interconnectedness of every moment. It is part of Cosmic Synchronicity.

President Obama is postponing his trip to Indonesia so he can focus on the domestic health care battle here in the United States. However, Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke recently made a speech about Indonesia and their increasing economic cooperation on clean energy and in general with the United States.
