Today I read a reporter’s query on Peter Shankman’s HARO(Help a Reporter Out) which cracked me up. It said, “In search of stressed our parents.” That’s like, “In search of people who breathe” in my world. See earlier post if you want a laugh on the whole stressed-out, crazy busy topic.

This is the 3rd post of a three part series on Eastern Medicine – featuring the Chi Master in China in the Bill Moyers series – inspired by learnings at one of my favorite girlfriend getaways (click here for a favorite girlfriend getaway site): Green Valley Spa in St. George Utah.
This is part of a series on eastern medicine for major novices. First, readers, please accept my apologies for the gap in posting.
