Hugs Heal Hate: Blog March
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
When my friend Robin Renee invited me to participate in a worldwide Blog March, I was an enthusiastic YES!

By

Have you noticed days in which things don’t go as planned, people don’t follow through as they have agreed to do, you find yourself behind a construction truck when you are already running late, clients cancel, or a certain world leader embarks on yet another chaos inducing decision, taking the rest of us along…

Today’s ‘speaker/spark’ as the presenter is called was Paolo Propato. Besides being a skillful healer, he is also a from-the-heart speaker who claims not to be particularly articulate.…

By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Back in my take on the world, the heck with the consequences 20’s, I was a bit more of a physical daredevil than I am now in my fabulous 50’s. I still work out regularly, and earlier in the week, I had taken the risk of riding my bike in the rain. It didn’t start…
