Dear friends and family,
The November issue of CATALYST is here! Click on that lovely owl to the left. Anodea Judith talks to us about the chakra system. We consider the future of jazz. Alice Toler recollects an unusual childhood in the Bahamas as the cocaine cartels were moving in. We learn about the Eastern seasoning hing. (You can read about staff writer Katherin Pioli's all-natural wedding in my column, too!)
Below are my abundant picks for the week ahead. I wish I had three of me. Enjoy.

Inspired by a group of Dine (Navajo) women she met at a Park City rug show in the 1980s, Utah-based artist Linda Myers began donating food, clothing and basic medicine supplies to the Dine community.
