A WOMAN, A STORY, & A LIFE IN-BETWEEN: CAT & MOUSE BY TIFFANY BLAIR

I’m proud to announce that my cat has become quite the little mouser. Since the nights have gotten chilly (and since I brilliantly bought a 100+ year old house), we’ve had several of the little fuzzballs make their way inside to get out of the cold. Finn is the namesake of Ice-T’s character on Law […]
WISDOM FROM THE WOODS: LIFE LESSONS – LOVED BY JIM SHOCK

It’s not that I wasn’t loved. I simply lacked proof. Being born was easy. Staying alive was the chore. Learning to inhale life without hyperventilating has been an ongoing labor. My childhood is a blur of anger. Mostly because my parents tried to nurture nastiness in me. Fortunately, they were grossly incompetent in that respect. […]
HUNTER’S JOURNAL: BEAR HUNTING, A NEW FOUND RESPECT BY TONY BARNER

Rules are set for five percent of people that don’t have any morals, and it seems like the only people that get talked about are the five percent. In other words all we hear and all we focus on are the negatives. The folks that bear hunt with dogs have been given a bad name […]
FUTURE DOC: LIFE FORCE BY DR. TIMOTHY PENCE

It is the intangible and widely variable factor of “elan vital”…. or life force that ultimately governs the healing process. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, supercede the physical factors. To the extent in which one can communicate and participate with others and with one’s notion of a supreme being, appears to be the greatest insurance […]

A WOMAN, A STORY, & A LIFE IN-BETWEEN: HALLOMOJO BY TIFFANY BLAIR

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, but my costume last year was such a bust that I haven’t been able to get into the spirit for 2013. You see, last Halloween I dressed up as Frida Kahlo, the celebrated Mexican surrealist painter whose inspiring life and dysfunctional marriage were adapted into a movie in […]

SOUND OF THE TOWN: CHRIS THILE AT CARNEGIE HALL BY SUSANNA ROBINSON KENGA

A perfect Autumn evening, all things golden on this day-into-night, the leaves raining down, all of us now wearing boots and scarves, our colors all loden and aubergine, and we traipse to the hall to hear what musical delicacy is put before us. I was busy at home, sewing bronzy lizards around the feathered brim […]
FUTURE DOC: AUTONOMOUS BY DR. TIMOTHY PENCE

When evaluating a patient using Future Doc methods, among the earliest determinations to be made is whether or not that patient’s nervous system is regulating properly. The nervous system works similar to a computer and its connections, whereby it receives and sends out data in order to control or regulate function. A glitch in the […]
