Here is my totally short and rational top 20 wish list for 2014 (in random order): 1. I wish for truly affordable quality healthcare for everyone. 2. I wish for the green party to get some officials elected in the…

I made a pledge to myself to go out and celebrate tonight. BUT: This is also a day to reflect and set intensions. I decided that 2010 will be a good year. I decided to spread out positive energy. I…
