Moby's New Book, Gristle

I had the pleasure of meeting Moby this past weekend in Los Angeles at the 24th Genesis Awards, an event honoring major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works which raise public awareness of animal rights and protection issues.

Fearless Women

What I have come to discover is that each time a woman shares her truth about her insecurities, questions, doubts, addictions, abuse, etc. -- and as well shares the truth about her joys, ecstasies, discoveries, mystical experiences, spiritual beliefs, and feelings of power – it heals another woman.

The Biggest Killer of Loving to Learn: School

Once upon a time I thought it was a place to where people could learn about a lot of things, be exposed to different ideas, learn how to solve problems, think critically, collaborate, work as a team and have fun. As a former teacher, I also used to think it was a place to foster children's innate love for learning. However, now with the way things have been going, I wonder if school is school just a place to get accreditation for the job market?

Losing It: How Men and Women Differ in Expressing Anger

Researchers have shown that females have a brain that is more oriented toward interconnectedness, global thinking, and as a result, more compassion. But I wonder, does this compassionate view sometimes keep us from speaking up for ourselves?

When Calling a Woman “Skinny” Isn’t a Compliment Anymore

While it is wonderful to hear someone say, “You look great!” – talking about the overall essence of a person -- I think it is out of place to greet a woman with the first comment being about her weight.

The Entrepreneurial Teacher

Teaching is one of the most important professions around. Imagine if every child you know hated going to school, saw no point to learning, and sat in front of the TV watching “reality” shows as an alternative to studying or showing up at school. What would the future of our country look like then?
