I have a confession. When I first came across Owning Pink last spring, I was turned off. Not by the content, but by the color. I’m a tom boy. Not a girly girl. I was the little girl that refused to wear pink. My mother was resigned to paint my room yellow because I wasn't doing pink. My theme song is Dar William's "When I Was a Boy." Like her, I would much rather climb a tree or play in the mud than be caught in pink. Own Pink? Own Purple maybe, but not Pink.

Lauren Sheehan is breaking through the barriers of inauthenticity and masks through Feminine Rhythm. As she quotes on her site, "every time you come in contact with the ground you are sending a shock-wave of energy into the earth proclaiming who you are, what you believe and what you desire." I think you might agree that Lauren's message is not only emotionally inspiring, but physically motivating as well. Let's start moving with intention and hold Lauren's story in a safe space. - Megan Monique

At the Vancouver Peace Summit 2009, the Dalai Lama said, "The world will be saved by the western woman." He also said,  “Women have a special capacity to lead us to a more peaceful world with compassion, affection and kindness. And there is no more important time for that than this moment.” And I think he’s right.

I have just started to read the book, MESSAGES: Signs, Visits, and Premonitions from Loved Ones Lost on 9/11 by Bonnie McEneaney. It is a powerful testimony to the many ways that our loved ones communicate with us after their death. The ways in which they reach out are different and varied -- but the result is a peace and knowing that those we love continue to be very much a part of our lives.
