Dear Friends,
Comments seem appropriate now, considering that the election frenzy happens everyday. I watch Bill Clinton talk and I wonder what karma he is paying off while the former first lady argues her points that she is best qualified for the presidency. I see Mr. Clinton yelling at reporters, hugging Hillary, falling asleep on the podium during a Martin Luther King Day ceremony. William Jefferson Clinton, former president, walks through the crowds, shaking hands, patting people on the back. It is a confusing picture for me. I still see Monica in her black tam, smilling up at Bill. I still see Hillary Clinton on the morning TV shows trying to support her husband who said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
I like Hillary. I like Bill. Call me "karma crazy" but I just wonder if the Clintons are back in the White House again what and how many boomerangs will they have to catch, or drop or hold onto. It seems to me there is enough to do in being the President of the United States of America without this mired past hanging around in the shadows of the Oval Office. Maybe we should have short memories, maybe we need to forgive and forget, maybe we could realize we are just human beings with virtues, flaws and imperfect choices.
This is going to be a difficult decision for me this year. Hillary Clinton gives lots of answers I like but she has tons of political and personal history of conflict and confrontation. Edwards is gone; the person I would like to have voted for in this year's election. Mr. McCain is Republican but my husband says we don't have enough money to vote for him. Obama's track record is pretty short - so I might just have to go "karma crazy" again and vote for the Clintons. It might be this is their time to have one more chance at paying off their dues and as Hillary said, "Clean up after the Bushes" again. At least there are a few more months to think about it; in the meantime I better get enlightened and go register to vote!

Book Review - What's Your Dosha Baby?
Dear Friends,
What's Your Dosha Baby by Lissa Marie Coffey is this great little book about lots of wonderful information to help you balance your life, know love and live in harmony with your environment.
This is a large task but Ms. Coffey gives you this amazing test so you can find out your dosha. Dosha, as a part of Ayurveda, is the ancient way from India which looks at the elements in your personality and tells you what personality type you are based on the traits in your dosha. You can be either a Pitta, a Vata, or a Kapha or a combination of all three. Each type has a particular way of loving, eating, and responding to likes and dislikes. The closer you create a lifestyle true to your dosha the more harmonious, healthy, and loving your personality will be.
Ms. Coffey says: "Ayurveda is India’s 5,000 year old “Science of Life” and it is the art of living in harmony with nature. Your dosha is your Ayurveda mind & body type. There are three doshas in Ayurveda: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. We each have all three of the doshas in our physiology, just in different proportions, so your dosha is unique and personal; it is like your fingerprint."
My husband Steven and I read What's Your Dosha Baby and took the test. We laughed so hard when we realized our doshas matched the personality models in the book like a carbon copy. With this realization, we were better able to understand our compatibilities along with our challenges. It is like looking at our lives in a very fun way even though it might require some serious insights. When I finished the book and the test, I knew I had just finished "a layered cake" of life changing knowledge that could easily be digested.
Go buy this book for yourself and your friends. It is available on http://www.amazon.com/ and on Lissa Coffey's web site, http://www.coffeytalk.com/. Ms. Coffey is a relationship expert and a lifestyle designer who appears frequently on major television shows. She also has several other books published plus another two I would recommend called Getting There with Grace and Dosha Yoga with C.D. When you read this book, let me know what you think!
