This website invites you to explore some key topics – to journey through the “lands” of Healing, Politics, Spirituality and Inspiration. Though these subjects are not uncommon, I think you’ll find some new perspectives here, as I tend to dig a little deeper than most.
So put on your mental hiking boots and get ready for some adventure. I hope you find the ongoing excursion exciting, challenging and rewarding!

Site Overview
Exploration can be internal as well as external. Years ago I read a book entitled The Archeology of Knowledge (by Michel Foucault). It taught me to think about what things mean – to go digging into my assumptions. As I explored, excavated, and evaluated, my view of things would often change. My VISION (perspective) underwent ALCHEMY (transformation). Hence the site name: Vision Alchemy.
Below are descriptions of the four sections of this site: Healing, Politics, Spirituality and Inspiration.
Healing
From conventional medicine to far-out alternative therapies, I’ve searched far and wide for answers and relief in my 15 years of dealing with fibromyalgia, chronic pain and anxiety. A key learning: we’re all different. What works for one person may not help another. Here I offer some options to explore.
Politics
Not your usual political blog. Sick of sound bites, name-calling and whining? Visit here to explore issues in a more civilized manner. Considered deeper questions like: How should we organize our societies? What is most important in life and what do we do when we disagree?
Spirituality
What happens when an atheist tumbles down the spiritual rabbit hole? A wide-ranging exploration of traditional religion, New Age approaches, and more. Including the big questions of what is consciousness and reality!
Inspiration
What keeps us inspired to keep going when things get difficult – especially when we don’t have a strong support network? Books, films, music, poetry, artwork, and more! Here I share some of my favorites. Have a smile – my treat!
