L-Carnitine....The Energizing Nutrient
L-Carnitine is an amino acid-like and vitamin-like nutrient which is found naturally in the human body. The highest concentrations occur in the heart and skeletal muscle. The primary role of L-Carnitine within the body is to carry long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, the "furnace of the cell". Within the "furnace", the fatty acids are broken down and energy is produced. Thus, L-Carnitine is essential for the production of energy from fat!

Echoes of Silence
In "Weird Failures" Robert Rabbin points out that we externalize failure and then try to solve the problem. We give speeches, rattle our sabers, downsize, cut spending, send food, sell arms. Yet the problems remain. Is this because we can't sit quietly without anxiety, doing nothing? Have we forgotten who we are? Have we turned away from the Spirit which gives us radiance? He encourages us to remember that in order to be the change we want to see in the world, we must face ourselves and know ourselves as we are, in essence.
