Twelve Tricks for Making It Through the Holidays
By Cathy Eck Since holiday time is here, most people spend time with family and friends. If you don’t celebrate holidays then you’ll be going to see “Big Eyes” and “Unbroken” at the theater with all the Jews like me.

Improvisational Comedy, a Different View of Projection
By Cathy Eck Improvisational Comedy This is my 100th post on Gateway To Gold….Wahoo! I decided that this post should be an all encompassing post.

Turn Off those Channels…And Listen to Your SELF
By Cathy Eck Other Worldly Channels I bet you thought I was going to write about turning off your TV. Hell no!
