It’s nice to be back in California after a very exciting trip to my old college campus to do a keynote, my hometown to talk at a bookstore and the nation's capitol to do an in-house training.

This week we heard about yet another school shooting ( The U.S. is # 1 in that category) where the killer was described by other students and neighbors as a "fairly quiet and good kid who pretty much stuck to himself.” A student who hid in a classroom while the shooting occurred told reporters,” He was a nice guy who I never suspected could shoot anyone.” Yes there were reports of problems at home, but enough to make someone kill?

If you are troubled by depression, anxiety, irritability, poor sleep, memory loss, or cravings, your stressful thoughts and emotions may not be the main reason for your condition. In fact, your problems may not be in your head at all but in your neck, according to nurse practitioner and author Karilee Shames.
In an interview Shames told me that many of the “brain” problems women are challenged with today actually start with the thyroid. Shames explains, ”When your thyroid is too low or too high, your brain function becomes worse. The brain drives the mind, and the thyroid drives the brain.”

Boy, have we gotten busy with work. Our reasons range from economic necessity to expressing our inner voice's mission to having a creative inspiration inside that just needs to be manifested NOW.
Either way, with the ability to access our computers 24/7, many of us forget to balance our work time with our personal time for exercise, family time, spiritual practices, relaxation and plain fun. My fiancée reminds me when I am slumping over my computer too long with something like, “Hey honey, watch that slump asana. You’ve been going a long time." Of course when a project that excites us or sparks our life's mission includes exercise, creative or physical pleasure, then we get to combine it all -- but many folks are sharing that their families, bodies or communities are neglected due to the scale weighing too heavily on work and not enough on other aspects of life. Our soft addictions don't allow us to put down our cell phones or iPads and stay off our laptops.
I suggest to balance our work/life by changing our life from one of default to one that is proactive by design.

Let’s get our kids moving their bodies NOW!
Three cheers for the study and article in USA Today by Amanda Gardner, HealthDay, "Experts: Recess improves student behavior." It's about time! I remember when my very bright, energized, and engaged son stood up after sitting at a desk for several hours and got scolded. I told his teacher, 'These kids need to move once in a while to keep their brains active." She disagreed. I am sure happy to see experts now waking up to how important it is to give our kids time to move throughout the day.

When it comes to relationships, intimacy, and communication, sometimes I am more invested in "being right" than I am in "being close". What is happening in these moments? How do I reconnect with my partner... and with myself? I am reminded of the Song of Solomon...
"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine."

[photo credit: photoxpress.com] We have all heard about the recent alarming stats on childhood obesity -- namely, that obesity rates among youngsters and adults in the United States have skyrocketed during the past decade. In 1994, 11.3 percent of children ages 6 to 11 and 10.5 percent of those 12 to 19 were obese. By 2008, those figures had risen to 19.6 for the younger kids and 18.1 for the older ones. The surge triggered escalating rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and other health problems among youngsters. Traditionally, these conditions had affected mostly adults.

Life is not meant to be an out-of-body experience. But often it is.

Below is a short quiz designed to both help you determine your body awareness quotient (BQ), and to raise it.
