The Pineal Gland: Purpose and Function PLUS How YOU Can Help Yours and Others' Be Healthy and "Happy"

Healthy and "happy" things in your head are always good and desirable, right? I'd say so! I'm not really sure why the pineal gland was not a bigger topic in my formal education (occupational therapy, mid 1990s, Colorado State University and before that K-12 in the biggest school district in Colorado. The curriculum came in big boxes to the teachers and they were teaching what was mostly set up for them to educate us about.) I started hearing about it when I started talking to other medical professionals about fluoride and the effects fluoride has on the body.  read more »

Oprah.com and Understanding Spirituality and Neuroscience; GRATE Ideas
Nobody is 'perfect', everyone is 'where they are at', and Oprah Winfrey is no exception. However, I find her 'exceptional' in terms of what she has done with the gifts she brought with her when her life began and in her 50-some years since.  I was creating Lumigrate.com in 2008, about the time she was positioning herself to create her own network.  read more »

My Christmas Message for 2011 - Tradition! Framily! Acceptance and Growth.

Mardy Ross's picture

Last week, I made a trip over the snowy, Colorado Rocky Mountains to visit people before Christmas.  Half to visit friends and fun, and the other half to visit friendly colleagues and have some fun while meeting about various mutual interests.  I got to thinking that I visited with Catholics, Protestants and Jews on my trip.  I am GRATEful for my father's having insisted on the atheistic approach, although my mother and grandmother slipped in some of their Christian beliefs here and there.  read more »

How to Clean Your House

Hello my dawlinks!  Oy vey!  I'm hoping I can stay put for a week or two so we can get re-aquainted.  No sooner did I get home from my trip, did my sister in law call from California to ask for your Yenta's help.  She asked for me to come out there for just a few days; just a few days became a few weeks!  My brother, Hi, may he rest in peace, married himself a wonderful woman.  Once he became ill, she took care of him, and when his final days were upon him and he didn't want to leave his house, she made him comfortable.  We were all lost when Hi pas  read more »

Lent: Faith and Health

The Season of Lent is upon us. Because I live where Mardi Gras originated in the USA., I have huge reminders to prepare for Lent.  Today is FAT TUESDAY (Mardi Gras Day) or the day before Ash Wednesday.  I think I am ready, I've considered it carefully, I have explored the options and I have a plan.

I decided what I can successfully "give up".   I will give up something that will not cause any harm, something I really like, so it will be a sacrifice, and something that will ultimately cause a beneficial lifestyle change.

Thanks Giving

Mardy Ross's picture

Six years ago today, I was sharing a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and significant other in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where I had lived for a handfull of years, and telling them I had been arm-twisted by a previous employer there to help out with a staffing shortage in Grand Junction, Colorado for three weeks.  How did three weeks turn into six years?  Well, if you are lucky enough to have ever been, it's a lovely little city -- the banana belt of Colorado (except we grow apples, peaches, and grapes (so hence winemaking), not bananas!).  I just felt I  read more »
