Give an activist enough energy and a platform on which to stand and they will change the world. ~Shifu Ed
What if change was essentially a movement of energy? It is. What if social and personal change was as well? What if it was a matter separate from philosophy, psychology, religion education? What if all these are manifestations of how energy flows through them? The Chinese believed this. The movement of energy through humanity and nature formed the groundwork of their theories of medicine, martial arts and human relations.

Celebrating the Lives of Our Pets

“Pets are beloved members of the family,” says Kerry Potter, owner of Dying to Bloom, a natural burial boutique. “I was walking my own dog recently and watched another family play with their dog, tossing a Frisbee back and forth.

Be Heard. Make a Difference. by Jadyn Turner
As young adults and teens, we need to start taking action on issues where we want to see something changed. We can’t just look at these issues and say someone else will do it. We were given a voice so now as teens need to use it, especially on issues that affect us more than they affect adults such as school shootings.

We don’t go to school to worry about whether or not we will come home that day or see our parents again. We are the ones in the classrooms, so we need to be the ones to make the change.
Chiropractic Profile: Dr. Paul Lentini

Dr. Paul Lentini has been practicing chiropractic care in Rockland for over 22 years. He originally started in practice 3 years prior in Long Island. His first experience with chiropractic care was for a baseball injury to his lower back. The first adjustment he received was from his brother who also is a chiropractor due to this injury. What lead him down the path to becoming a chiropractor was the desire to help people live without limitations and pain. From a simple standpoint, Dr. Lentini is a mechanic of the skeleton, helping joints regain their full range of motion and, at times, removing interference from the nervous system. Our bodies can then express themselves without limitation or pain. When our bodies are functioning optimally, we can do anything.
