I've spent a couple of hours this morning listening to two separate interviews on Hawaii Public Radio. Get youself a cup of tea or whatever, relax and listen.

#l. Karen Armstrong speaks about her progression from a disillusioned young nun into, in her words, a "freelance monotheist." I don't know what that means. But she's one very smart lady. To listen to this please highlight and click on:

(On that web page click on the underlined title: The Freelance Monotheism of Karen Arrmstrong)

#2. For my second little "gem", I'm offering you a chance to listen to a woman, M.J. Ryan, who has written a book called "AdaptAbility", which seems appropriate to our current crisis (employment, etc). Lots of us feel we're living in tough times that we didn't ask for. She has some excellent information. To hear this highlight and click on:
