BREATH LOVE

One of the most fun and rewarding projects of the last year — helping Lauren Chelec Cafritz bring her vision for a breathwork guide into being. Lauren is such a fantastic teacher and human being — and shares all her wisdom and many years of experience in breathwork healing in these pages.  If you have a chance to meet her at a signing, or attend one of her talks or retreats, you’ll come away a different person. Lighter, easier, more joyful. Say goodbye to all those unhelpful stories dancing inside your head. Yes. Just say goodbye.
Her website, Experience Breath, can be found here.

He Speaks

The Washington Post Style Section turns 50 this year. In a special edition celebrating the edgy, groundbreaking, award-winning features section where I worked for just over a decade, a piece of mine from 1995, an interview with John Kennedy Jr., was chosen to be reprinted. I wrote a lot of profiles for Style and I never thought this one was my very best. And it’s a bittersweet read now, remembering what a gentle and dashing and funny guy John Kennedy was. He died just a few years later.

Hank Stuever, the TV critic at WaPo, who has written his own motherlode of classics for Style, wrote a introduction to the special section — where you can also find links to a number of great stories, scenes, profiles, exposes and just fantastic writing that will keep you entertained and laughing all day and night. Somebody should get around to putting some of these in a book.

What the Eyes Don’t See

More great news . . . In addition to the NYTimes Notable Books of the 2018, What the Eyes Don’t See has been named a “Best Book of the Year” by NPR’s Science Friday. Here’s a nice round-up of praise from 2018 reviews:

“Intimate and subjective…Hanna-Attisha’s quest is full of drama and suspense…She’s a breezy, charismatic raconteur prone to feisty character descriptions…crusading figures from public health lore, turn the book into a condemnation of groupthink and a clarion call to live a life of purpose.”

“Amid the crisis that unfolded after the water switch,heroes emerged. WHAT THE EYES DON’T SEE is a thoughtful, at times blistering meditation…weaving her own famil
