Breast Feeding in Public, to Be or not to Be?
June 10, 2014 by
Breastfeeding in public is forbidden in some jurisdictions, not addressed by law in others, and a granted legal right in public and the workplace in yet others. Where it is a legal right, some mothers may nevertheless be reluctant to breastfeed, and some people may object to the practice. Many women have reported feeling uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, even doing so discreetly. But it is important to remember that you are feeding your baby. Breastfeeding is considered the healthiest … [Read more...]

What is Mercury Retrograde?
June 5, 2014 by
Mercury Retrograde This happens three to four times per year, when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It's an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train -- as it recedes, it appears to go backward. While delays and misunderstandings do seem to happen, I've noticed a magical trend -- that people and ideas return, for integration, resolution and more. What are the Mercury Retrograde … [Read more...]

Say Thanks on International Day of UN Peacekeepers
May 29, 2014 by
Earlier this year, I visited the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where I met a mother who fled South Sudan with her four children amid the country’s ongoing violence. Sadly, her story is not unique. More than 1 million people in South Sudan have been displaced, and while some have fled to other nations, most of them remain in the country. In the midst of this brutal conflict, United Nations peacekeepers are on the ground, working to protect vulnerable civilians. As this International Day of UN … [Read more...]

May 14, 2014 by
'The breakthrough has happened.' "And I do mean for everyone. That doesn't mean we all got wonderful presents, or lumps of coal.

The Cardinal Grand Cross in late April … [Read more...]
