CM's Final Posts: You Can Fill the Space
Eighteen years ago, I wrote an article for a magazine that got me called in for a taped interview with a Fox TV morning news anchor. Being an effective communicator and a skillful public speaker was a dream of mine at the time. And still is.
After some 30 minutes of prep with the station's hair-and-

Websites to Visit, Blogs to Read
Here are some blogs and websites I like. It's not a complete list. But it's a start.
The first is called New Moon Journal and it is written by Michele Bailey-Lessirard, a life coach, collage artist, and "shamanic astrologer." On the opening page of her site, you'll find a little slide show of her am

Still Posted at My Desk
"Take off from here. And don't be so earnest,
let others wear the sackcloth and the ashes.
Let go, let fly, forget.
You've listened long enough. Now strike your note."

And Finally, This:
Place your burden
at the feet of the Lord of the Universe
who accomplishes everything.
Remain all the time steadfast in the heart,
in the Transcendental Absolute.
God knows the past, present and future.
He will determine the future for you
and accomplish the work.

Don't Pierce Your Belly Button
I caught the following conversation between two pretty women in the ladies' room of a Manhattan restaurant. One of the women was pregnant. And she said, "So my acupuncturist made me take the ring out of my belly button."
"Really?" her friend exclaimed.
"Yeah, he said, 'Let's give this baby a chance.

Just so you know, I like to dye my hair. Sometimes highlights, sometimes dark, sometimes something in-between. And like many health-conscious women, I found the harsh chemicals they rubbed into my skull every couple months to be a little troubling (not to mention how that nasty synthetic smell used to keep both boyfriend and my pet parrot on the far side of the couch). Well, Aveda to the rescue. I’ve recently started going to an Aveda salon where the dye is 99-percent chemical free. At first I was skeptical of how it might look. I mean, how could modest plant-derived dye possibly be as good as that scalp-scorching chemical stuff? But the color is amazing, and I walk out the door with shiny healthy hair that smells like lavender, not some 8th grade science experiment gone wrong.

I use henna and have for several years. I like the smell (although not everyone does, it’s kind of like freshly mown hay … but more intense), and I love the red colour. *And* it makes my scalp feel super clean for several days, helps keep the frizz under control (at least a little) and is shiny and soft and good. It will dye your ears orange, though, if you aren’t careful about spills!>

My hair is curly and steel gray without the assistance of dye. I also have two sections of my hair that fight taking dye and become natural “highlights” because of the way that difficult part fights taking dye. Would the aveda natural stuff work for me?>

I wuld call an Aveda salon and check – but I’m pretty sure Aveda dye performs on all hair. It’s also up to how good the colorist is, I have a great colorist here in SF. Good luck!>
