We've said it before, but we can't say it enough...our hearts go out to all those affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech, and indeed all those who are missing loved ones today due to violence. Very soon, we'll be bringing you some interesting conversations about this tragedy...

Two segments today:

Is your home in desperate need of some serious shalom (it's Hebrew for "peace")? Well, I'll be the first to admit that -- as a full-time wife, mother and journalist...at NPR -- I could use a little Kum Ba Yah every now and then.

Ok, enough of my business...get it together Michel!

Listen in as we speak to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, family counselor and host of Discovery's Shalom in the Home. He talks about establishing (and maintaining) peace in your house...and even in his house! We also explore how the culture we live in might sometimes pose an obstacle to this...

And, again, Can I Just Tell You?

Part of me is worried that this is dated but then a part of me says...yes, it is still relevant. It's my last word on Imus. With all that's going on in the world, the question is, when and how do we decide to focus on the little hurts that coarsen our daily lives? Who gets to decide what matters?
