Day Trip Getaway
by Aubree Lynn, Producer/Stylist My mission for this particular article is to encourage day trip getaways and or staycations. We, the working class folks, have busy lives. We have to fit everything into our 40-plus hour work weeks and many times forget about ourselves in the process. You do not have to travel far […]
The Price of a Good Life
by Mrs. Freud “Of course I want to live a good life,” is the astonished answer of anyone I have ever asked if they aspire to live a good life. However, in my 15 years as a psychologist as well as life coach, I have come across many instances where significant resistance arose as soon […]
Girls and Boys and all Their Toys
As the mother of two sons I watched how my boys played and thought nothing of it. Although I did not see them gravitate toward dolls or dishes, I thought they must be playing the same as girls only using different toys. Instead of dolls they had G.I. Joe and action figures, instead of […]
Yellow is for Depression
The news on health benefits of ingesting turmeric (Curcuma longa) just keeps accumulating. Using the original research that validated this root crop as an effective anti-inflammatory, many researches are building from there to test whether the anti-inflammatory properties will affect a wide range of conditions from heart disease to diabetes, from cancer to skin […]
A Changing World, the Weather and You
by Mrs. Freud Time is moving faster and harder. Even the weather is not like it used to be. Kids don´t know how to behave anymore. Politicians: don´t even get me started.

Between the Lines: summertime, and the living is easy…
Summer reading, also called beach reading or vacation reading, used to signify mindless entertainment, flipping sandy, salty, sticky pages while adrift on a sea of leisure. Now, though, it’s broader, more symbolic of unencumbered time to read purely for pleasure. For some that might be the latest thriller or romance—a page-turner that will captivate the […]
Artful Voices
by Concetta Antico Every once in a while we feel the urge to say something but the words won’t come out. Thinking, feeling and speaking artfully can create great change if you live and empower how you live, the lives of others, the choices you make and the quality of your life here on earth. […]
Intuition – A Hunch Worth Following Up On?
by Mrs. Freud The dictionary of psychology gives two definitions of intuition that leave the inquisitive mind none the wiser at first: intuition is said to be a mode of immediate understanding and knowing without conscious thought or judgment. The origin of this understanding is described to be either a) somehow mystical or b) the […]
What Now?
That Kind’ve Summer “The world is beautiful because of you.” “You are the reason for joy in the world.” OK, thanks. Clearly brightening up our days, these and about a dozen more cheery messages, chalked on the bridge going into Balboa Park, are ours with which to resonate. Yay, they mean ME! Who IS this […]
