What to do when you see a mouse in your new house

There's that question again

I have been asked the question so many times, and my answer is always the same. Why did I make my Panties for Peace® in the style of the thong? Because that is what I wear!

As a child of the 60’s, I have lived through the transformation of panties, and I must say that the backless style of the thong has saved me from the creeping up, wedgy problems I suffered for years… and panty lines are no longer an issue!

The Power of Touch

This Happy Monkey loves to hold hands, so I am glad for the countless studies about the health benefits of touch. Touch, they say, triggers the release of endorphins more powerful than heroine, and if you close your eyes and sit still, you can feel the vibration.

And I think this is more than science. I think touch creates a synapse to that universal energy that lives and breathes and connects us all to each other.

I have been so blessed by watching videos from the Free Hugs Campaign . Seeing strangers all over the world accepting hugs from other strangers is absolutely amazing… I can almost feel the energy.

Last Fall, when my teenager and some friends made Free Hugs t-shirts and went to our local mall, I was a bit skeptical. I did not want the kids to get into a situation that they could not handle… but I let my fear go ...then I let her go. She came home talking 90 miles a minute about the people who wanted a free hug and those that looked on in horror. Both experiences were so powerful, in a teaching sort of way.

Go for it… reach out and touch somebody's hand, and even better, give someone a hug. You may be healing yourself in the process.
