Depression Is Not My Friend
Let’s be real, depression is not anyone’s friend. Does anyone think depression is their pal? There’s that whole tortured artist brouhaha about needing drugs/mental illness/angst in order to create aaaaaart. Yeah. I call BS on that. Indeed, the main Source needed to...
How Can You Celebrate the Holidays If You Hate Them?

What’s the Deal with Ayahuasca?
Dear Meli, I have a friend who has been like a spiritual teacher for me. She's turned me onto all kinds of great practices, books, teachers. etc. Lately she's into something new - Ayahuasca. It's a drug she uses to hallucinate and learn things about herself. She says...
