To ‘let it go’ or to ‘let it be’? That is the question… The Beatles were on to something quite remarkable with their notorious track. As a proud adherent of the yoga, spiritual, natural healing, self-help, and holistic communities for most of my adult life, I often hear the term ‘let go’. This phrase is…

Here’s my latest bloem (blog/poem)… The stomach is the new brain, it hears everything your mind is sayin’, assimilation of your imagination, so be kind in your thoughts. I know you thought that your just was for digesting the food you’re ingesting, but you’re in for a treat… it starts with your teeth. You heard…
