Keep Your Heart Open
I was a teenage girl in the 70’s. It was an odd time to be a teenage girl as we were bookended by the sexual revolution of the 60’s and the sexual free for all of the 80’s. Cultural norms were being challenged and changed daily, and it was hard to know up from down and right from wrong. We just did not know what we were supposed to do in so many ways.

What is the "Dark Night of the Soul"?
“The “Dark Night of the Soul”” is an expression frequently used to describe a deep spiritual transformation where your focus starts to shift from ego to soul. For many, this is considered the beginning of their ascension to a higher realm of being and becoming closer to the Divine. It is also known as the Descension before the Ascension.

What is rock candy exactly? In a nutshell, rock candy is the product resulting from the recrystallization of pure cane sugar. It is the purest form of sugar as all impurities have been excluded during the process as the large crystals form.

Demystifying Cat Alzheimer's Disease
Does your elderly cat wander aimlessly, get lost in the house, or stare at the walls? Has she stopped greeting you when you come home? Has she seemingly forgotten how to use the litter box? Is her wake/sleep cycle disrupted with her wandering through the house crying at night?

Louisiana Treat
So let me ask you... What looks like seafood, tastes like seafood, and smells likes seafood but doesn't come from the sea? It's a crawfish, or "mudbug" a freshwater shellfish that is a traditional Louisiana food staple.

History of Rally Racing
Traditionally considered a gentleman's sport, rally racing is a form of motorsport that takes place on public or private roads with either modified or specially built cars that are road legal. This type of racing is unique in that it is not performed on a circuit, but rather is a point-to-point race in which the competitors and their co-drivers drive between two set points. Rallies are won either by speed or by driving in stages within a predetermined journey time.
