Suicide & Pain – Making Sense Out of It (#105)

    This week we heard about two shocking celebrity suicides from people the public dearly loves and who are considered epitomes of American success stories.

And tools for peace. Instead, we accustom ourselves and our children  to anger, pain, judgment, medications and law suits. We do not teach in our schools or within our homes what it means to develop tools to be able to be present [...]

These pockets of microbial life are called “biomes.” The most well-known biome occupies the warm, moist, nutrient-rich large intestine,known as [...]
