Healing Arts

Rick Russell, West Australian artist, writes, "I may not have cancer, but it is something that manages to touch almost everyone's life in one way or another.  I recently lost one of my good friends to lung cancer - he was only 2 years older than me."  His art is highly symbolic and includes Frogs, Goddesses, Butterflies, Celtic borders.  You will want to order his extraordinary Peppermint Wood Walking Staffs!  Even if you aren't a walker.  He is just beginning to market his art, so at this moment Rick's staffs and paintings are reasonably priced.

Menopause

Help for Menopausal Women and their Family!

I wish I had had a computer when I was going through peri-menopause.  All I'd heard about was hot flashes.  I had none.   I said to my then 16 year old daughter, "You don't know what it's like living with a teenager when you're going through menopause"  She replied, "You don't know what it's like being a teenager with a menopausal mother!"  It's hell.  Unless you seek help.  This link will educate not only women, but also your family who has to live with a Menopausal Woman.
