Jamie Oliver TED Talk
Hello all! Blogger Slacker Returns 🙂 I’ve had several conversations with people lately about food. Not just about what to have for dinner, but why we are choosing what to eat. Local? Organic? Free Trade? Healthy? Not? What really matters and why does it matter? Food is more than just about fuel for the body, although that is certainly important. But the food choices we make impact others and the health of the planet, as well as our own health. During this conversation about food and choices, this really cool TED talk by Jamie Oliver came up, so I wanted to post it. In looking...

For Part II, I’d like to focus more on the energetic and spiritual nature of healing in general, but distance healing specifically.

Read MoreDistance Healing Part I
About half of my practice involves working with clients of all ages at a distance. I’ve recently received more questions about “what is it?” and “how does it work?” so I’m going to do a few basics here.
