Feng Shui For Your Home
Image: Flickr Have you ever walked into a home before and immediately liked it? Perhaps it was light, bright and airy? It was welcoming and comfortable, and you felt great while you were there. You could say this house has good feng shui. If you haven’t heard of this term before, in Chinese it means ‘wind and water’. Feng shui (pronounced foong shway) is the ancient Chinese practice of arranging the layout of your home to promote happiness, harmony and wellbeing. And the great thing about feng shui is that it doesn’t require a drastic rearrangement of your home, often just moving a few pieces of furniture around, placing…

Eating Gluten-Free And Loving It!
When I first started eating ‘gluten-free’, most of the foods I found to eat were nasty, with a capital ‘N’. I tried all kinds of products made with gluten-free flours, and almost everything I tried was seriously yucky. The most brutal lesson for me was at Thanksgiving. I planned to make a yummy stuffing with store-bought gluten-free bread. I figured that with enough butter and spices I could create a delicious tongue-exploding wonder that my gluten-eating family members would think was the best tasting experience of their lives… I would surprise them later with the exciting news of how I made this delectable stuffing from gluten-free bread: Surprise! Well… I…

Friendship Between Two Female Hearts
In my early twenties it occurred to me that friendships are an active experience. It was early summer and I’d sent an email to Katie, my closest girlfriend in college, telling her I thought it wasn’t a good idea for us to live together the following semester. I felt our lifestyles weren’t conducive to sharing an apartment. A week or so later, with courage gained from several drinks at her local bar, she called me in the middle of the night to let me know exactly how she felt. Kate was angry and hurt not only about my decision, but the wimpy way I addressed it with her from…
