Yes readers, it has finally happened. I am taking my first vacation in a year. I have taken time off for illness and pressing concerns relative to my other employment, but never to have a little "me time". I will think of some new ideas and topics for the remainder of the year and come back ready to dive right in. Until then, please peruse any of my previous articles for your reading enjoyment. Just a reminder, we will be finsihing up our exploration of healing rituals and moving into other social and political issues of the modern world.
