Wednesday is known as ‘hump day’ in the mainstream world; the middle day of the week that can be hard to drag yer butt over before you can slide to the weekend. I still live a very far from mainstream life, and hump day is a day off for me, so it’s a non-issue. Still, [...]

This Friday night is the final DF family dance of the season at the Community Hall, beginning at 8:30pm with a warmup segment a half hour earlier. Join us for world music grooves, particularly early on in the evening, with a preponderance of funk later in the evening. Cost is only $5 for adults and [...]

These are the most recent postings from my blog, ‘Spreading the Gaia Word’. Much is shifting and opening in my life in happy-making ways. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as [...]

balancing the bad with the good
In the face of my relentless pressure toward positivity, I find my negative thoughts and beliefs are acting out more and more. It’s as [...]

The problem is, scientists haven’t had a chance to research the effects of these supertiny particles on the human body and the environment before the commercial world grabbed the ball and [...]
