I invite you to tune in to my new radio series on Heart Beat titled Beyond “I Do”: Getting Married Consciously, inspired by my own upcoming June 2010 wedding. I am having a great time speaking with experts in the field to understand the significance behind what many call the ‘most anticipated and memorable event of one’s life’.  Beyond “I Do” goes deep into the significance of what it means to experience weddings as a rite of passage while examining the history, ceremony and psychology involved beyond just choosing cakes, dresses and bridesmaids.

I had to investigate why people kept telling me “this is the most important and special day of your life”. ” I know I am not alone in this quest but I had the intense desire to find out for myself what this rhetoric is all about.”  I am definitely having meaningful conversations with exceptional guests and I am enjoying it as it brings clarity, excitement and further meaning to myself and others asking similar questions”.
