If you were to ask people what Thanksgiving Day means to them, they would say it is a day to gives thanks, and they are right. So on this Thanksgiving Day I hope you have much to be thankful for and little to regret or grieve.But even as I write that, I believe it is only half right. It isn't Thanks Day but rather Thanksgiving Day. Included with those thanks we speak of is the idea of giving....

When I worked for an ad agency years ago, I would meander up the street to Beefy King. Beefy King is a fast food restaurant in Orlando that's been a big hit with locals since 1968. They make real roast beef, too, not the pieces & parts stuff of corporate giants. Black Friday is always one of their busiest days. I used to go there to help out.

While the environment plays a big role and one that we will want to dwell on at some length we have to recognize up front our own internal risk. Where does this risk reside? It is buried deep within our chromosomes [DNA]. A bewildering array of complex and expensive tests are making their way in to the...

Walking into the living room, I caught a few brief few minutes of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer on the public television channel. He was lecturing from his book, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life, in which he expounds the views of Lao-tzu expressed in the Great Way. I would have watched more but my husband had the television remote control and he switched the channel to his football...

Growing Bolder Note: This a fabulous 2007 wrap-up written by Roger McGuinn's wife Camilla. As always, it's a fascinating tale that starts in the present and occasionally "timeshifts" to add context to the present. October 10, 2007: Roger was invited to sing a song in tribute to Elton John at Carnegie Hall. The song he sang wasn’t as well known as most of Sir Elton’s tunes, but Roger...
