HeartWings Healing Hearts, One Pillow At A Time by Melissa Allison-Lee
HeartWings Healing Hearts, One Pillow At A Time When I was first presented with the design for HeartWings several years ago, the idea came to me through a dream. I have always kept a notebook by my bed for just such occasions when inspiration or guidance might come to me. If I saved that for the morning the idea might be gone, the moment lost. I clearly heard, “HeartWings” and wrote the words down as I sketched … Read entire article »

Fava Bean Season is Upon Us by Jean Johnson
Fava Bean Season is Upon Us 30 May 2010 by Jean Johnson If you have Hippie Kitchen you’ll see this picture on page 52. I choose to show off the fava beans in their pods rather than the actual dish because they have been so maligned. Typical instructions in American cookbooks are to do not pass go and double peel the beans–first shucking them from their long pods and then resting each individual bean from its own … Read entire article »

HOW I GOT STARTED PAINTING by Sharon Kay Baker
About 10 or 12 years ago, my husband and I were coming home from a drive up Mt. Lemmon, when suddenly he said to me, “You’d be a great painter!” I was dumbfounded. “Why on earth would you think that?” I asked. “It’s the way you respond to nature…to colors…to light and shadows.” As I recall, I simply snorted and changed the subject. Before hubby and I met, he had been an occasional painter and he still had a whole … Read entire article »

Contagious Love Experiment by Josh Stieber and Conor Curran
Let me start at the begining… I was in middle school when I saw 9/11 on the news. I saw the hole in the Pentagon firsthand. For months afterwards, I’d wake up early before school to watch the news and better understand the situation. I understood that there were people out there who wanted to destroy my country and hated my religion. My religion (church, religious school) promoted war and I made a deal with God … Read entire article »

“Cosmic Math” by Greg Allen Morgoglione with Alice the Canine Messiah

Because you are gorgeous!!! by Franka De Mille
In modern life there are few examples of ‘solidarity’ in the everyday. We all lead such separate lives and society is set up to make us fight for survival on a daily basis. So we get too busy or pre-occupied with our own lives to notice, or have time for, those around us. However there seems to be a wonderful opportunity to create a kind of Cyber-solidarity with those we meet online. Gone … Read entire article »

Jamie Oliver Should Be Our Kids’ New Hero
Recently my husband posted a video, about what Jamie is doing, onto a social network. It caught my eye and I watched the few minutes the Huffington Post had on their website. Then I watched his TED talk. If you haven’t seen a TED talk, I suggest you do. They are amazing to say the least. He has a new show on ABC that Ryan Seacrest set up for him called “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution”, which airs … Read entire article »
