I value personal privacy and give others lots of space for it. I am interested in exploring consciousness and I meditate as a daily practice. Since 1992, I publish <strong>Florida<\/strong>&#8216;s mind\/body\/spirit magazine. While I like to contribute to making the world a better place, I am not an activist.
