When I recently opened an e-mail from Oprah, I noticed she had “discovered” the Daily OM and its co-founder, Madisyn Taylor. Since the Daily OM has carried several of my CDs (The Healing Journey, Calm as the Night, Blessings to You and Reflections: A Guided Meditation), I was thrilled!

What does scrapbooking have to do with “Women as Healers”?  Well, a couple of weekends ago, I spent some time with dear friends in a small town west of Minneapolis. They told me about how they LOVE to scrapbook and how scrapbooking retreats are now the “in” thing!!
