I was so excited when I found out Seth Godin had a new book out!
I like to test drive books before I buy them (when possible) by getting them from the library.
As I was reading and starting my 8th page of notes on the book in my journal, I realized that this was a book I needed to buy.
Duh.
Seth Godin’s writing makes you think about your own life and examine your feelings about what you are–and are not–doing. He has a way of asking questions that cuts right through to get to the truth. This book has come along at the perfect time for me, as the really great books so often do. I have been re-evaluating all of my activities and this met me at exactly the place on this journey where I needed it. Keep reading

Last night I was working on a Vision Board in preparation for a class I am teaching next month. For this particuIar project, I was trying to avoid looking at the words and focus just on the images, so it took me a while to notice how many of the ads in the magazine were drug company ads.
I decided to go back to the beginning and tear out all of the pharmaceutical ads.
I could not believe it!
So many ads telling us that we are broken, faulty, but don’t worry–we can sell you a medication for that! A toxic, potentially deadly, medication.
The most egregious of these is the Gardasil ad. I recently heard this vaccine referred to as “Garda-kill” by Brandy Vaughn (a former drug company rep for Merck). Think about that. Keep reading

This is probably not something you thought you’d need to factor into your decision-making.
Maybe you’re like me. I used to think that vaccine bottles contained some form of antigen and saline, and not much else.
And then I learned about mercury. And aluminum.
I thought these things were probably bad to have injected into our bodies. Alas, I did not know vaccines contained these and other materials when I was making most of my vaccine decisions.
I started to question the process after I became a nurse. In nursing school, I was taught that nurses need a physician’s order to administer a drug. After I graduated and was out in the ‘real world’, I learned about flu shots being given out in the community at senior centers and such. I asked how nurses could be giving these shots to people without a doctor’s order. I asked about the process of informed consent, which I was taught was required before any medical intervention.

Who thought Carmen Shenk’s book about kitchen simplicity could change your thoughts about your own home?
I love how this book helped me see my home through the author’s lens of simplicity and how it jump-started new ideas for me about how to better organize my kitchen. Even now, weeks after I finished the book, I am still evaluating how I set up my kitchen, what’s necessary and loved, and what is just taking up space. I have a renewed energy for my de-cluttering efforts. I also loved Carmen’s approach of keeping her home a haven, and actively keeping out the negative energy that abounds in the world. Keep reading

I watched a video recently on Senator Susan Collins’ Facebook page. She talked about how she was standing in line at a pharmacy when she heard a conversation between two people who had to decide not to pick up a prescription medication because of the exorbitant cost. She was so upset by this!
I had a similar occurrence that left me scratching my head. I was picking up a tube of Erythromycin at the pharmacy which I expected to cost just a few dollars. When I was told that it was $20+ dollars, I was floored. Keep reading

I do a lot of things. For years, I have had multiple online presences. I had several websites and Facebook pages and was writing books and blog posts and so forth. Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube? Check, check, and check.
You are probably pretty busy and doing a lot of things every day, too, so maybe you can relate to this.
One day, someone said: Karen! I went to the website link you gave me, and then I followed the link to another one of your websites, and then I clicked on one of your pages, and now I am so confused! What is it that you do, exactly? Keep reading
