The simple truth about cravings When we try to eliminate certain categories of foods from our diet, usually those we deem "bad" or "fattening", we often experience so called "cravings", intense longing for the dietary items we are trying to give up, and this, I might add, is normal. We are still functioning as if we were hun... More..

LIONESS Many years I spent empty and dry, and hungry, believing that love could be taken away for good, condemned to a life of dull moonlight, and mute stars, and Heavens contained, languishing within the prison of a finite mind, that looked upon itself with disdain, and wept, as if lost in a dark, endless sea of calm, death...

Food & Drink > Pasta, Grain & Rice Recipes Recipes: Lasagna: 22 of 34
LASAGNE BOLOGNESI Well, I didn't mean to come across like that. I was frustrated about something else that day and it had nothing to do with non-traditional Lasagna recipes. Today, when I came back to see how my Helium articles are doing, I realized my Lasagna recipe hadn't been well received, even though it is impeccable an... More..
Health & Fitness > Therapy & Counseling What is mental health?: 13 of 19
MENTAL HEALTH The mind, body, spirit and emotions are inseparable. Like players in a team, they can be isolated and observed separately, but we cannot expect to fully understand their role unless we take into account the whole team. Psychotherapy cannot be purely mental or emotional, detached from body and spirit: integratio... More..

I CANNOT FIND MY SOUL... I cannot find my Soul this morning, I'm looking everywhere, inside, outside, within, without... to guess I do not dare. I closed my eyes last night and saw It bright and clear, but someone must have stolen It because It isn't here. I sent the Butterflies to look for It but they came back alone. I ask... More..

But it wasn't until I wished to share mySelf that He came into being. I made Him in my own image because I wanted someone to play with. And I gave Him My own free will, that He cou... More..

BASIC FACTS ABOUT DAIRY PRODUCTS Dairy products may have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, as a result of one of the most effective advertising campaign in history (i.e.images of celebrities adorned with a milk moustache), but their restored fame seems destined to be short lived. Why? The simplest, most obvious reason is t... More..

Beach Water rushes over me and I swim faster, trying to silence the loud noise that pierces my brain. Memories of games I used to play come back for a moment like waves in a calm, distant sea, and then disappear, too quickly. I know, I should be swimming where the sea is deeper, colder, greener. But my tail won't slow down e... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Finding love: 130 of 174
FORGET-ME-NOT It occurred to me today that the gap between us unfolds our dreams on parallel courses, as if we had the whole of creation to find one another and the wait, the struggle, the doubt, were clever games we play, to prolong our bliss further, deeper into infinity. Perhaps a hummingbird, mesmerized by the tenderness... More..
