HABBADA HABBADA HABBADA! You have heard me say it. You have seen me write it on Facebook… It’s on my shirt, it’s on my car, it’s on my wrist band… even my kids are wearing Habbada! So…What is HABBADA?!?! Habbada is a word that my friend Rick Prairie made up to mean “All Things Good ~ And Don’t Worry about it” It has such a great vibration to it that it instantly spread. Rick started making Habbada bumper stickers. Within weeks, people were rockin the Habbada bumper stickers across the country! There is even a sticker on a tank in Afghanistan! Request for more Habbada merchandice started flowing in. So he began to make shirts, wrist bands.. even glasses! Habbada is now an official business that raises money through sales of the branded name Habbada merchandise to donate to local organizations and individuals that needs a little support. They have raised money for an injured soldier returning from war, Baby Easton and many others. Each month Habbada shines it’s Spotlight on a member of the community who reflects the HABBADA motto: “Live it, Love it , Share it!

My first job after earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work was working with blind children and their families. It was my supervisor in that position who introduced me to guided meditation and the metaphysical church that would give me the foundation for the work I do today. Interestingly, as I was learning to close my eyes and “see” the world beyond vision, my clients were also teaching me to see a world beyond the physical eyes. So it is not only an honor to be a guest on author Stephen Kuusisto’s blog, Planet of the Blind, it is also very fitting. Professor Stephen Kuusisto, who has been blind since birth, is the author of “Eavesdropping: A Memoir of Blindness and Listening” and the acclaimed memoir “Planet of the Blind”, a New York Times “Notable Book of the Year”. He has also published “Only Bread, Only Light“, a collection of poems from Copper Canyon Press. Recognized by the New York Times as “a powerful writer with a musical ear for language and a gift for emotional candor,” Steve has made numerous appearances on programs including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dateline NBC, National Public Radio and the BBC. I can completely relate to Stephen when he writes “The world is a surreal pageant. Ahead of me the shapes and colors suggest the sails of Tristan’s ship or an elephant’s ear floating in air, though in reality it is a middle-aged man in a London Fog rain coat which billows behind him in the April wind.” Sometimes we need to close our eyes, or shift our perspective to truly see the...

Hello and welcome to Day 8 of my Virtual Book Tour. It is interesting to me that Day 8 also falls on the 8th of January! I have recently become very fond of the number 8 as it represents to me the infinity symbol. Several people have asked me why I shifted the direction of the infinity symbol in the image on my book cover to look like a figure 8. I can only tell you.. because Spirit directed me to. I have been using the infinity sign in my healing work for some time now and recently in meditations I have been directing people to visualize an infinity sign (or figure 8) running from the base of the spine to the top of the head crossing at the heart center. This visualization has a very powerful healing effect on the people who use it. So it is perfect that today’s stop on the virtual tour includes You, Me and My Dupree Knee ~ Lessons in Transformational Healing with Heidi Dupree. Heidi is the author of The Other Medicine That Really Works. As an author, energy healing therapist, holistic nurse, and Certified Traditional Naturopath, it is Heidi’s passion to be a conduit of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing for others. Her mission to challenge how we think of medicine. In today’s blog post, Heidi interviews me about Enchanted: One The Portal To Love, asking about ego and surrender along with several other interesting questions.
