The historic lineup of events, external and internal forces, weakness in direction and misdirection here at home may be about to collide. The first step to being prepared is to know and understand.

For women already diagnosed with breast cancer, recent amazing research indicates that food itself can be powerful medicine for preventing cancer recurrence and extending lifespan.

Join us for a highly informative conversation with Dr. Christine Horner,surgeon, speaker and author of Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Horner’s Program to Prevent and Fight Against Breast Cancer, who will share her wealth of information and practical guidance on how to keep your “girls” healthy by steering clear of these frequently overlooked diet and lifestyle habits.

In segment two, Bonnie Gayle, co-creator of Sex Butter sensual/sexual products and Body Liberator joins Laurie for some staggering figures about self-image and how she’s going to work on this challenge with women and men.

My first guest, Paul Tukey, is a writer, filmmaker, activist, and founder of Safe Lawns.org. He tells the story of Hudson, Quebec, where a persistent local doctor got the town to ban lawn pesticides, and of a school in Ohio where pesticide drift sent 47 students to the doctor. He has the facts on 2,4-D, an herbicide widely used in northern Canada, where so many farmers die of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that it is referred to as “old farmer’s disease.”

But first he tells the story of his conversion from lawn-care professional to a passionate advocate of organic lawn-care. That conversion came only after his own health had deteriorated to the point where doctors told him that the chemicals he was using would kill him if he didn’t quit. But what he didn’t know even then was the effect those chemicals might have on his son.

My second guest is Cristina Milesi, a senior research scientist at California State University, who is affiliated with NASA’s Ames Research Center. Cristina has used satellite images and complex modeling techniques to produce increasingly accurate estimates of the number of acres devoted to lawn in the U.S.—it is only when we have some idea of how big this number is that we can have any sense of the scope of the problem. Cristina’s work extends to the ecological impact of that acreage; in this interview she talks about water use and carbon sinks.

When you think about the the kind of problems faced by Paul Tukey, multiplied by the acreage of lawn we have in the U.S., it looks like we need to make some changes.

He also discusses another unique presentation: The Legacy of Black Magicians — sharing history from slavery in Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, and to the present day.

On this week’s show, I have a delightful conversation with Kim Klein, a passionate fundraising consultant and blogger who will get you thinking about new actions to take to build your non-profit’s individual donor base. It’s no longer prudent for any non-profit to treat individual fundraising like an afterthought – and we’re talking about you if you hastily assemble spring and year-end campaigns that look the same as the past few years. Your lack of imagination is recognized by donors.

During our discussion, Kim also describes what sustainability is, and encourages nonprofit leaders to be more thoughtful and vocal about the role of public funding. Kim is the author of several books, including Fundraising for Social Change, now in its 6th edition, and also, Reliable Fundraising in Unreliable Times.

This is a fun, thought-provoking show, and we hope you laugh as much as we did during the interview!

And, finally a great big thanks to the readers of Maps of Fate for catapulting the book into #1 best seller status within hours of it’s April 17 release!

Suzanne and Joanne share a few of the many “God-wink” incidents that seemed meant to be. Suzanne interpreted some of them as being ‘thin place’ signs from her mother and a beloved aunt who both have died. These events were very faith-affirming and helped Suzanne and Joanne cope with the fear and anxiety of living with a life-threatening illness. Suzanne now says “count every day is a blessing and cherish the ones you love.” Both women discuss the impact of their faith as the greatest gift their mother gave them and how their faith was strengthened after what both women went through during the transplant process. Suzanne helps us understand the miracle of organ donation, both from living and deceased organ donors. She tells how she prepared for the surgery by getting into excellent physical shape and this also helped her heal more quickly. She also prayed and elicited the support of friends around the country. Be inspired by this conversation between two loving sisters who shared a transformation experience of kidney donation. For more information, please visit www.thereluctantdonor.com

How can this be? We explore the possibilities with Professor Cochrane to see how regulation is at the heart of the problem, and that 1,000’s of pages of more regulations in the Affordable Care Act will likely only make things worse. Introducing more competition—both among insurers and providers of health care—would be a better solution.
