by Janet_Levine It is a rare gift in our busy lives to be able to step back, unplug, and find our core again--and a central purpose of our lives--in such a pristine setting. For the past almost a month that is what I have been doing in Rabun Gap county in the mountains of northern Georgia. I am writing a book on the material that can be found on this blog. The hours I've spent writing here have whizzed by. One evening... 8/7/2009 3:34:51 PM
by Chani The keys to ease back pain and improve posture: Confident, strong, graceful and healthy. Who do you think of when you read those words?
