2. Heifer International: The Pay It Foward Entrepreneurial Charity The saying goes, "If you want to feed a man for a day, give him a fish. If you want to end his hunger, teach him to fish." Heifer International is the perfect example of how this wise saying works. The give the fish to get someone started, but then...
3. Peyote Bead Work: Turning Glass into Cloth peyote blogs A decade ago, before I had done Peyote bead work, I attended a local bead show. It was for jewelry makers and most of the wares were pile and strings of beads, I wouldn't have thought there could be do much in the world, let alone in...

7. Cell Phones: Love Them; Use Them in Good Health! We live in a electrical and wireless world. That isn't going to change. I don't want it to change.

8. Oatmeal: Ultimate Comfort Food I love just a plain bowl of oatmeal. I insist on the Old Fashioned kind that has to be cooked on the stove. When you eat the Old Fashioned must cook kind, you can see each piece separately in the bowl and if you eat slowly enough, you can feel that i...
9. Mabel Stark: Tiger Whisperer And she first did it before women even had the right to vote. Her life was defined by her passion for her tigers, her unsurpassed talent with them and her love for only one man, one of her five husbands, but the one who she loved almost as much as Ra...
10. Macular Degeneration: The Blindness You Can Prevent I go for yearly eye checkups and no one has ever suggested I get tested for Macular Degeneration.

11. The Louvre: Essential, Little Known Tourist Tips Paris had never been on my 'places to go' list. I believed the stereotypes about snooty French who didn't like Americans. Boy was I wrong.

15. Margo Arrowsmith's Bucket List Announcing to the world what I am going to do. I have, for years, 'kept my light under a bushel', afraid to say my goals to myself and certainly to others. What if I didn't succeed? Then everyone would know. However, this reticence has also held me...
16. Jury Duty: Serve It With Honor I was enjoying reading a collection of humorous essays by a North Carolina journalist. I was enjoying myself until I got to the one of getting out of jury duty. What is it with people?!? Before I start this lens, I beg your indulgence. I will make s...
17. You are Cordially Invited to Share Your Family Legends Years ago a guy I was dating told me the story of his uncle who had a shrunken head of a Nazi soldier that he brought back from WWII.

18. The Girls by Lori Lansens "I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to a beguiling moon. I've never used an airplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that. I've never driven a...
