Chattering Mind

Today’s New York Times has a New Yorky take on what’s happening in the homes of those who want their children to eat highly healthy food, but whose careers necessitate employing babysitters who may not share their whole foods philosophy. You’ll cringe because the story brings out a painful class divide quite evident these days–we’ve…

Tomorrow, we’ll discuss Spiritual Materialism. Today, we’ll attend to three new products in the most recent Isabella catalog. Labels for your water bottles: Put love in every sip by placing a sticker with the word LOVE on your water container! (Dr. Masaru Emoto alleges that this can actually make water crystals healthier.)

Upon collecting 3,600 pledges, the group is hoping to tell U.S. auto makers that E.A. members will pay more for environmentally friendly vehicles–if U.S. makers create them. My bet is that the E.A. will get more that number of digital signatures.…

What a great moment of the year to encourage the children in your life to build fairy houses, pint-sized outdoor residences for the spritely nature divas and spirits that bless the earth, commune with frogs and bugs, cobble shoes, and maybe hide your house keys. Boys and girls love to craft natural fairy homes like…
