The Carnival Of Healing

This is our first time for hosting a carnival and I was impressed by the quantity and quality of the submissions. We left the subject matter wide open within the broad guideline’s of the carnival and received submissions ranging from How to wake up to a discussion on how to avoid loneliness and achieve aloneness.

The last Carnival was hosted by  Eric Grey at Deepest Healing with a wide range of posts related to healing with a good selection of posts related to Chinese medicine.

The next Carnival #116 will be held by Coaching 4 Lesbians,  a blog featuring wide ranging advice on living a happier fuller life.  Please contribute to continuing this long lived carnival by contributing a post. The best way to submit one is using the carnival submission form.

You can always check out the Carnival of Healing archives for ideas.
