Thanksgiving 2012
It’s Thanksgiving. It’s always good to review the reasons to be grateful around this time. Funny, but it’s really good to do this daily.

Mazel Tov…and now what do I say?
This weekend is my 13 year old daughter, Rayna’s Bat Mitzvah. (For any readers not sure what that is, it’s a Jewish Rite of Passage for kids turning 13 in which they lead prayers, and read a passage from the Torah – that’s the “Old Testament” – a …
In the Fire

The Practical Reiki Companion is HERE!
In response to student request, I’ve created a workbook for Practical Reiki students and teachers. It’s called The Practical Reiki Companion, and it’s now available!
