My interest in healing work has been lifelong, but my need to be more hands-on began in the middle 1980s. I was living in the San Francisco Bay area and still do, but back then the Bay area was Ground Zero for the AIDS epidemic and the premier AIDS education and support organization in the nation . . .
Helen Keller is a woman I've always admired. Talk about rising to the occasion.... So ... Whether it's cancer, Crohn's, M.S., chronic pain, anxiety or grief, our products and services may help you. . . .
I heard a beautiful story during this Gay Pride month, of a young gay man afraid to come out to his traditional, ethnic and religious family. But he did. At first, his family was shocked and confused, although truth be told, they probably had considered that he was gay. But he stood firm and proud, . . .

Pray for Peace I must interrupt regularly scheduled programming because the world has gone mad once again and terrorists of all flavors are running rampant, many in the name of religion. Children are being beheaded. People are being buried alive. These barbarous acts are worse than we can . . .
It can be hard for me to turn off my "observer" and embrace the activity in which I'm involved. Because I really do like to watch and suss out and consider -- sometimes I like that much more than participating. Not to mention the effort that must go into remembering things so I can write . . .
