A Stellar Recycling Program

BySusan Chan

I wanted to share some beautiful images I came across this weekend. Yes, they are discarded cds, ingeniously transformed into an ocean of beauty and magic by architect Clémence Eliard and artist Elise Morin.

Light up My Life

BySusan Chan

I love this time of year. Who doesn’t love ambient stringed lights and a reason to stay indoors and eat warm comfort food? I fondly remember the glow of Christmas lights that hung in my apartment year round when I was well into my late 20s. Ok maybe it was even a little later. Unfortunately…

Smile and say “qi!”

BySusan Chan

The other night, I took a qigong class with Master Yang Yang at The New York Open Center. It was a roomful of diverse folk who were looking for ways to alleviate the stress of everyday life.

A Cut Above the Rest

That’s what I said when I saw (and figured out) what exactly was Lisa Rodden’s works of art. Delicate little treasures that are not only gorgeous but spiritually moving and emotionally imbued. Her…
