Brace Yourself (and others)

Participants in a yoga and meditation session go through a guided exercise.

Support.

In the healing process, we generally use that word to mean emotional and spiritual help. At a recent medical conference, I had the honor of helping support bone marrow transplantees.

She’s no Muggle.

It takes place over the same seven years and shows what it was like for the house that has never been brave, ambitious, or smart,” Andrea explained.

Heh, you’re not sleeping. Heh, those thoughts racing through your brain are going nowhere fast. Heh.

A Long Time Ago In Armenia

The trip was exhausting. We were behind the Iron Curtain and at the mercy of the official Soviet travel agency, Intourist. It was 1984. The Cold War was showing no real signs of flaring up or calming down, and my intestines were wracked with what I liked to refer as the commie crud.
