Other People’s Children
Just after the tiny infant days of video baby monitors and cribs, you will bring your child out in public. Most parents enjoy this time and take seriously the relationship of their child with the world. But in recent years I have noticed that more and more parents do not pay attention to what their…
Smiley on Prozac

Suddenly Nexium was $60 a month instead of $200, for example. And while we had decent insurance through our business, it was…
Smoking
I heard that the US is now changing the health warning on cigarettes and cigars once again.

Seriously, when you can buy medications from every other country, and are not worried about in-country trademark restrictions, you can score much better pricing. Even the generic hair loss treatment…

Pilates and Reiki in Paradise with Lynda Lippin at Parrot Cay June 2011

Imagine learning Usui Reiki I and practicing Reiki and Pilates on this beautiful stretch of beach. Well, you can do this at my upcoming Pilates and Reiki retreat…
