A Healing Balance

Last updated on: August 15, 2012 at 5:40 pm By carre

I grew up on antibiotics. Every ailment—sore throats, earaches, flus—warranted a trip to the doctor and on most cases some kind of prescription. I was not alone. Most kids I knew were treated the same way. One way. In those days there was very little discussion about any potential negative impact of this go-to approach to cure physical symptoms.

The Inner Journey of a World Traveler

Last updated on: July 5, 2012 at 10:20 am By carre

Long ago in my life there was a yearning. I struggled to find my way. I searched, wondering if this ‘thing’ was outside of me? Perhaps it was a ‘place’ I might someday arrive at. If only I could have more of ‘this’, do more of ‘that’, experience more of me, love more of you. On and on it went, reaching towards the external.
