Don't believe all the media scare studies. They are sponsored by Pharma to sell more pills! That is marketing, NOT science.
Music
"New Age"and spiritual. Carlos Nakai, Loreena McKennit, Enya, Clanad, Liam Lawton as well as traditional Irish stuff. John Lennon! I love many Broadway tunes, the one thing I miss about being a married suburbanite is season tickets to the theatre! Evita is one of my favorites because she broke all the rules and took life on her own terms. Wicked is awesome, but those who buck the system don't always get a happy ending!
Movies
Robinhood! Chocolate! Lassie! Benji! The Incredible Journey!(The original. Not the Disney remake with the snarky fat joke at the end!) Braveheart! Rob Roy! Baghdad Cafe! Hairspray! Real Women Have Curves (although "real women" don't necessarily HAVE to have pronounced curves either, all women are "real women." Reds! My favorite movie line of all times is from Reds. Jack Reed asks Diane Keaton (his love interest in movie) if she wanted to come with him to Russia. With typical female angst, she said "As what Jack? Your lover, wife, comrade, friend, peer??? What Jack??" He looked at her calmly and said "Thanksgiving is coming up! Why don't you come as a turkey?" If only women would learn, men are what they are!
Television
I like mostly PBS. (Although it is increasingly coming under corporate control!) Ugly Betty! I don't really watch all that much t.v., I find myself feeling so much worse the wear when I do. Really is it about encouraging consumerism at the expense of our mental, physical and spiritual health!
Books
The Thorn Birds Women Who Run With Wolves (Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes) Big Fat Lies(Glen Gaesser) The Nature of Prejudice(Gordon Allport) A Course in Miracles. The Celestine Prophecies. The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Fat?So!(Marilyn Wann) The Diet Myth!(Paul Campos) Love!(Leo Buscaglia) Hoopa Shoopa Donna (By Suzanne Stempek Shea - The Polish American "Amy Tan.") Circle of Friends.(Maeve Bichey) The Sociological Imagination(C.Wright Mills) You Just Don't Understand (How socialization causes women and men to miscommunicate- Deborah Tannen) Skinny Women Are Evil (Monique - of course "skinny" women are NOT evil, evil is the system that provides people privilege on body type alone) The one I haven't written yet.
Heroes
Anyone who stands up for their beliefs against the odds. Those who don't go along with the crowd. Those who have the courage to heal. Those who have the courage to LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO TALK TO ANGELS!!!

About me: I am a person who refused to sell my soul! You can take that figuratively or literally depending on how well you know how the world works! But we are all selling our souls aren't we! We are letting a corrupt group of power-elite control all our institutions and ruin the country for their own benefit!
