A Woman of Wisdom: Naomi Tutu Nozizwe–Mother of Many Lands

Naomi Tutu is the third child Archbishop Desmond and Nomalizo Leah Tutu. Growing up the ‘daughter of …’ has offered Naomi Tutu many opportunities and challenges in her life.

A Woman of Wisdom: Tama J. Kieves Dancing Through Transition ~ Loving Yourself

Tama began this journey through the anguish of being unhappy and miserable in her chosen work as a lawyer. As an honors graduate of Harvard Law School, she made great money, had a view office, her own secretary but felt so empty and lost. She thought there had to be something more.

But really, that path was not safe, as she realized it would kill her. And that’s her message to others: it will kill you if you do not listen to the voice of your dreams. Particularly in times like what we’re experiencing now, as everyone is being practical because of the economy. Read More

Are You a Tree Person? An Interview with Jean Shinoda Bolen

“A tree person may have been a child who kept treasures in a tree, or had a sanctuary in one, or climbed up to see the wider world, a child for whom trees were places of imaginative play and retreat…. A tree person met up with Nature in childhood or as an adult, and like the four-footed ones who retreat to lick their wounds, may still heal emotional hurts by going to where the trees are. …. A tree person can become a tree activist at any age.” Read More
