Relationships and Religion
Religion can be a very sticky subject for a lot of couples that date inter-religiously.
I know many women who will only date Jewish men if they are Jewish, or Catholic men if they are Catholic, but personally, I think it's more important to date for love rather than religion. I have never been one to think that religion mattered much, as long as both people's values were respected and celebrated.

Slow Sex Movement Guru: On Romance and Sex
"I think that when you actually have raw intimacy, it isn’t sex, it isn’t romance, and it isn’t spirituality — it's just a pure connection."
This is the first in a four-part series of interviews I had with Nicole Daedone, who is emerging as the leader of the slow-sex movement and who founded the OneTaste urban retreat center in San Francisco.

Mindfulness: It's Not Just For Spiritual Woo-Woo Types
Imagine taking a morsel of food, say, an almond, and savoring it very carefully, giving it your full attention. If someone told you that doing everything you can with that kind of attention would help reduce your stress level at work, relieve bodily symptoms like back pain, and keep you from bad habits like smoking, you might think they were nuts.
Yet that’s exactly what the practice of mindfulness does say practitioners like Buddhists, and increasingly, there’s clinical research to back it up.
