2008 to be Breakout Year for USDA Organic Personal Care Products
The Organic Consumers Association (OCA), representing more than 500,000 members, is pleased that consumers will have more choices than ever before of high quality USDA organic personal care products, such as soaps, lotions, crèmes and balms in 2008. Organic synthetic-free personal care products which comply with the USDA's National Organic Program's (NOP) strict standards for organic food, will be more widely available as manufacturers have begun to catch up with consumer demand. Personal care companies may represent that they are NOP certified "organic" and display the USDA organic seal, or "made with organic," so long as such products are certified to meet the NOP standards.

Seasons Among the Vines by Paula Moulton
"I am a farmer living in California," Paula Moulton says. "To most people the mention of 'farmer' conjures up pictures of a man dressed in dungarees with a piece of hay dangling from the side of his mouth as words like 'darn,' 'dangit,' and 'little missus' slip from his tongue. The truth is I do not fit this picture at all. Instead, I'm more likely to be seen as a gal raising money for a charitable cause and dancing around at the benefit in an evening gown and a pair of sexy stilettos – yet I owned acres of land that I cultivated with my own manicured hands – on top of that I am a business woman, a mother, a widow, a winemaker and an author. This is my story in my own words..."

The Homeopathic Revolution by Dana Ullman... Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy
There is a good reason that 11 American presidents, 7 popes, Charles Darwin, J.D. Rockefeller, David Beckham, Tina Turner, and Mother Teresa have used and advocated for homeopathic treatment: homeopathy works!
The majority of people in Western society seek out conventional medical treatment, but an amazing and impressive number of cultural heroes and celebrities of the past 200 years have been treated with and raved about homeopathic medicine. Through a cutting-edge explanation of homeopathy as "nanopharmacology," Dana Ullman's Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy presents a strong case for this internationally respected, but often misunderstood, medical practice.

Making Love Sustainable Part 7 by Wendy Strgar
"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life." - Elizabeth Gilbert
Sometimes we give up one kind of balance for another. Our work lives take over our personal life, new families take over old exercise routines, and sometimes our love life can take over all of it. Losing our balance over love can be fun. Actually that in love, out of control craziness of deep connection can be like a drug, blurring our vision so that the world has a rosy hue and commitments to any thing other than our beloved are hard to keep.
