The past few days have been exciting around here–I live in one of the 30 communities in and around Boston that were under a “boil water order” since a water main break late last week forced the city to divert water to an untreated reservoir.  This morning, after only 4 days, the water main was…

Just the other day I wrote about the latest “most important foods to eat organic” lists–the “Dirty Dozen and the “Clean 15.” Well now the My Paper Crane blog has gone and made a free printable PDF, the most adorable way ever to keep track of which fruits and veggies you must buy organic and which you can…

I’ve just learned that today, May 4th, is Star Wars Day–get it? (May the fourth be with you!) Love that! In honor of that force that illuminates and supports and creates all, here are some inspiring, wise Star Wars quotes.

Do you get enough “me” time?  Start your morning with this quiz to see if you’re running yourself ragged and forgetting to take care of yourself in the process.  Friday morning is the perfect time for the quiz, because if you don’t score as high as you’d like, well, it’s the weekend — a perfect…

I just got back from a quick grocery run, and because April 30 (tomorrow!) is Oprah Winfrey’s National No-Phone Day, I took a curious look at the drivers around me.  At a red light, I looked to my right.  A young woman was talking animatedly on her cell phone.  I looked in my rear-view mirror. …

“The poet Muriel Rukeyser said the universe is composed of stories, not of atoms.  The physicist Werner Heisenberg declared that the universe is made of music, not of matter. And we believe that if you habitually expose yourself to toxic stories and music, you could wind up living in the wrong universe, where it’s impossible…
