I had the pleasure of meeting Moby this past weekend in Los Angeles at the 24th Genesis Awards, an event honoring major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works which raise public awareness of animal rights and protection issues. If Moby was at one time self-righteous in his activism, he certainly has changed his colors.

Christiane Northrup is healing women around the world. While trained traditionally at Dartmouth Medical School and Tufts New England Medical Center, Christiane found the courage to speak up and voice the knowledge that was coming to her through her intuitive wisdom.

Once upon a time I thought it was a place to where people could learn about a lot of things, be exposed to different ideas, learn how to solve problems, think critically, collaborate, work as a team and have fun. As a former teacher, I also used to think it was a place to foster children's innate love for learning. However, now with the way things have been going, I wonder if school is school just a place to get accreditation for the job market?

Researchers have shown that females have a brain that is more oriented toward interconnectedness, global thinking, and as a result, more compassion. But I wonder, does this compassionate view sometimes keep us from speaking up for ourselves?

While feminists made “woman” a hard and fast rule, could it be time to reopen the case?

While it is wonderful to hear someone say, “You look great!” – talking about the overall essence of a person -- I think it is out of place to greet a woman with the first comment being about her weight.

Teaching is one of the most important professions around. Imagine if every child you know hated going to school, saw no point to learning, and sat in front of the TV watching “reality” shows as an alternative to studying or showing up at school. What would the future of our country look like then?

School districts across California have cut funds for textbooks, increased class sizes, and shortened the length of the school year.
