Members' Corner
Movie Review and Recommendation
By: Carol McCormick
..........
 Last Saturday night, I was moving too fast.  Out of balance with too much Yang energy, I took a nasty fall.  This forced me to Yin - receiving healing energy and physical help from others in order to accomplish simple tasks.  As part of my recovery on Sunday, my husband, Jerry, brought home the Redbox DVD Unconditional.   
  
I highly recommend this movie as "love medicine!"  No expensive cost nor pharmaceutical side effects.  The movie's message of friendship and faith, based upon the real life story of an African American man, is phenomenal.  Good storytelling without special effects, it makes the viewer care deeply for the characters.  I especially liked how it showed the importance of community in helping people recover from trauma.  Plus, it inspires the viewer to care about poor, fatherless children and work to end generational cycles of poverty.
