Why Should You Use a Menstruation Cup?
Let us start here with how ladies today are the target of what I call “the medical industry”. It is the most powerful industry in the world, bigger even than petroleum, but seems to have a similar ethos; that of pollution. It is not the atmosphere the medical industry pollutes, it is our bodies. And…

How the Bat was Created
Mohawk / Ojibway Story A long, long time ago, as usual the sun started to rise in the east, in the morning. But this time he came way too close to mother Earth and got tangled in the top branches of a very tall tree. The more he tried to escape, the more he got…
The Illusion of Control
When I swim far out into the Ionian Sea, here in Corfu it flashes through my being that I could drown. My vulnerability rises up… My body could be consumed by the deep blue lake that feels to heal with every immersion I take… This place of healing could also be my grave… I didn’t…

Are You Stuck On The Personal Development Treadmill?

Just like running on a treadmill, you’re working really hard and getting nowhere, or at least not as far or as fast as you’d like! “I have read dozens of books, attended countless seminars, took a six week class…

Don’t Forget to Play!
I think that playing games, rather than being a waste of time, can actually teach us valuable lessons in running our business. Business is a serious affair – yes?

What Price Does Prejudice Cost You?
There are over 6 billion people currently trying to live on this planet, and untold species besides us. We have come to believe that we are the most important species here on earth, and yet, as we go about our daily lives, we reject the vast majority of our fellow men as we deem them…

A Short History of Female Sanitary Care
The Sanitary towel as we now know it is a relatively recent innovation. But the problems of “the monthly cycle” of course started with Eve in the Garden of Eden. What she did we can only guess, but there appears to be evidence of ladies turning to anything from grass to lambs wool, but in…
