Carry on Women!

 March 2012 In 2006 two things happened. One was that Natascha Kampusch escaped from captivity. She had been abducted years before and held prisoner – originally underground. Later, several similar cases repeated this theme. Elisabeth Fritzl came out of captivity in 2008 in Austria and in 2009 Jaycee Lee Dugard was found safe and well after 18 years of being …

Evolution and Emergence

November 2011 I always like to read what Bruce Lipton, the author of ‘Spontaneous Evolution’ is up to. This month his newsletter is in the form of a video which I really liked.
