A New You for a New Year?
How do you deal with a new year? Do you make resolutions? To help us ring in 2010, Scott Shafer talks change with Sylvia Boorstein, co-founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California and a teacher on Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation.
Tim Hammack: Chef
Today we're revisiting some of our favorite Turning Points from the past year, starting with a rising star in the culinary world. Tim Hammack left a dream job at a premiere restaurant in Napa Valley for a gig cooking in a tough neighborhood in Richmond.
Mauricio Escobar: Park Ranger
As tough as life on the streets of Richmond can be, it's nothing like living in the middle of a real civil war. That's where the subject of our next Turning Point grew up. Central Valley Bureau Chief Sasha Khokha presents the story of how Mauricio Escobar got from El Salvador to working as a park ranger in Yosemite.
Jackie Sloan: Horse Rancher
Not everyone flees Los Angeles for the wilderness -- some find their own kind of tranquility right in the middle of the city. When Jackie Sloan's toddler developed epilepsy, the family was plunged into a whirlwind of seizures, hospital visits and therapy. Horse riding was one thing her daughter loved, and over the years, Sloan grew to love it too. Now, after a career in corporate law, Sloan is running a horse ranch for special needs children. Rachael Myrow presents her story.
