Every day we are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals.
They are everywhere, all the time, and they’re a big part of
why we get sick.
Every day we are bombarded with thousands of incoming
messages — advertising, email, voice mail. It’s like
drinking from a fire hose. Our fast-paced world often

The Hidden Cost
of Heartbreak
By Aurora Winter
Heartbreak robs us
of joy and vitality. It steals our enthusiasm, our energy, and
our dreams. It kidnaps our creativity and drive. It undermines
our relationships, our health, and our ability to focus.
Heartbreak hijacks our clarity and productivity.
Yet heartbreak
is like a thief in the night — sometimes the real villain
goes undetected. Heartbreak has so many culprits. The usual
suspects are: divorce, death, a breakup, job loss, pet
death, and family or financial crisis.

True Wealth
By Aurora Winter
Most of us are focused on making more money. If we had a bit more money — or
a lot more — things would really be good! Then we would do all those
things we have been wanting to do. But first, we really have to slay the financial
dragon. So we put off taking that family vacation, put off starting our screenplay,

things next year.

Coping with Pet Loss
By Aurora Winter
Our pets are such an integral part of our lives. They

with delight. The daily walks and feedings. The
snuggling, cuddling, brushing and purring. Whether it's a
dog or a cat, a horse or a bird, a pet is more a part of the
fabric of your everyday life than most friends and family.
