I often cringe not just a little when I hear people offer glowing wishes for Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. No, I'm not an old curmudgeon or Grinch in the disguise of a wholistic therapist. I'm a traveler on many paths of healing - personal, professional, global and spiritual.I also hasten to add immediately that I would never discourage someone from bringing in the light and cheer of positive attitudes and wishes for joyous experiences on the occasions of holidays, points of transition, and other opportunities for smiles, warm fuzzies and celebrations. And I'm not just pointing out, as Tom Lehrer did in one of his pointedly comic songs about being kind to each other during American National Brotherhood Week, that we should be happy that it doesn't last all year.What bothers me is the gloss and glitter in our holiday decorations and well-wishing cards, internet communications and festivities, that seems to transfer into superficially glittery thinking about life, the universe and everything. By focusing on being happy happy, we set ourselves up with unreal expectations on the one hand, and create negative attitudes about the shadowy, plain, undecorated parts of our lives...more

Water may be the key to life but when it's soaking your basement or creating a bog in your yard, you probably wish you had a little less of it. When water is accumulating where you don't want it, French drains are a good solution to move it to a safer place. A French drain is simply a trench that is filled with gravel and a perforated pipe then backfilled so that it matches the surrounding area. Some people may use only gravel or sand in the trench but French drains work much more efficiently when a pipe is included. Water travels along the path of least resistance and a French drain is much more porous than the surrounding soil so it creates a freeway of flowing water away from the problem area. Some French drain uses include moving water away from foundations, relieving water pressure from retaining walls, and dispersing water that has accumulated from neighboring land that has a higher elevation.The gravel in the French drains make it easy for the water to pass through. The perforated pipe permits easy passage but also provides a small storage place for the water underground and the perforations allow the water to disperse along the length of the pipe. Some pipes have round...more
