Bali, Indonesia – At dawn, as the first shards of light dance over the rice fields in the seaside village of Seseh on Bali’s west coast, Putu and her husband Made, who like many Indonesians go by one name only, spend an hour reciting prayers and distributing small palm leaf baskets containing offerings to ensure the health of the coming harvest. Later in the day, their 11-year-old daughter will attend a class for “sanghyang dedari”, a sacred trance dance for girls that is designed to counteract negative supernatural forces.

As moms, we focus a lot on births, but death isn’t something we talk a lot about. It’s not like we share death stories over coffee like we do our birth stories. And we certainly don’t talk about whether we want a traditional vs. green burial at playdates! I recently shared that this past year I’ve been able to witness and support loved ones through both birth and death, and I was awed by the beauty in both. I came away with a strong feeling that while we stop inhabiting our bodies one day, the real self always remains. Death…

Posted: 1/24/2024 | January 24th, 2024 I love Oaxaca. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was a special place. I’ve been back countless times since my first visit a couple years a go (and even ran tours there!). Oaxaca is a city of colorful buildings, scenic rooftop restaurants and bars, street art, historic Spanish colonial churches, cobblestone streets, and picturesque parks. It’s also one of the gastronomic centers of Mexico and a hub for making mezcal in the country. While there are lots of neighborhoods to stay in, almost everything you’ll want to see or do is adjacent…
Legal experts say even someone with Trump’s wealth will struggle – and he may need to sells assets.
Credit: @MythinformedMKE As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s evidentiary hearing about her alleged misconduct went so poorly for her that leftists across America are losing their minds. Willis is facing disqualification from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade (her lover). TGP revealed several devastating tidbits throughout the proceeding, including Willis’s lover Nathan Wade admitting he paid for all the vacations he took with Willis with his business card (she reimbursed him in cash for expenses) and her lying in court documents regarding the start of the…
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Yellow and green feathers radiating from his headdress, Davi Kopenawa strode onto the parade route with a mission in mind. All around him, the city of Rio de Janeiro was pulsing with music and merry-making: It was February 12, and the world’s largest Carnival celebration was under way. But Kopenawa was not in town to party. Rather, he had travelled more than 3,500 kilometres (2,000 miles) from his village in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest to spread a dire message: His people, the Yanomami, were in trouble. For decades, the Indigenous Yanomami have suffered at the hands…

“Biggest audience since the moon landing.” That was the headline when Nielsen released viewership numbers for Super Bowl 2024. About 123.7 million people in the US watched the game, more than any other game since Nielsen started keeping track and, yes, close to the 125 to 150 million people in the US who watched the moon landing in July 1969. Despite the scores of streaming options and other things to watch, people still tuned in to watch live—to see the Kansas City Chiefs win in overtime, to see Taylor Swift, to watch Usher, to see Martin Scorsese’s alien-invasion ad, to…
