2025/04/07

Hi Everyone! This year I have been really blessed. I have had two wonderful vacations during our winter. The first I mentioned last month, to Oaxaca, Mexico and then a week ago I returned from visiting Southern Italy and Sicily with my twin 13-year-old grandsons. It was a wonderful trip, the weather was sunny and 15 or 16 degrees Celsius every day. We saw wonderful sights, climbed Mt.

Bioenergy versus Biofield; their effect on cancer

2025/02/28

Hi everyone! I am writing this blog on the first warm day over the last few weeks (8 degrees Celsius 😊), Not sure one can call that warm, but the snow that has been piled high for more than a week is starting to melt! Not really my kind of weather, having grown up in South Africa, but I guess it is expected at this time of the year in Canada. I feel very lucky that I was able to… Read more »

Small Habits

2024/05/11

Small Habits, Big Results Another interesting idea came to me from an advertisement for M.K. Arman’s book “Small Habits, Big Results: The Power of Consistency and Persistence.” The ad read: Reading 20 pages a day equals 30 books a year. Walking ten thousand steps a day equals 20 marathons a year. Never underestimate the power of small habits. I have not read the book, but it sounds promising. However, I would add “meditating” to the list, as meditating for 20… Read more »
