Wealth and abundance is at the core of a Taobabe mindset.  One cannot be a self-proclaimed confident, sexy, and powerful Taobabe when one’s overriding gut feeling is that of destitution and starvation.  Of course, my well-fed, plump and healthy body will easily dispel the myth that I am starving and destituted, despite my brain’s best...

As a Taobabe; it would be terribly remiss of me if I did not disclose to you certain secrets that are part of the canon of TaoBabe-ism.  We humans are made up of 90% water, and as such, water is extremely crucial for the Tao Babe.  We have to keep water flowing through our system...

I was barely twenty-five when I first heard of ngải.  I had no idea what it was, or what it did.  The only thing I knew about it was that it was a spooky thing some people kept in their homes when they wanted to be granted a favor.  A friend heard that I had... Continue Reading →

I am scared of ghosts and ghouls. There, I said it.  It shames me to no end that I, the great dame of Babe Taoism would have the most cowardly Tao Babe soul of anyone I know, but I cannot rationalize it away.  Truth is, a Tao Babe should not be scared of spooks and... Continue Reading →

I get a rash on my neck when I am stressed out.  A friend of mine gets gallstones, and yet another gets a face full of acne that mars her beautiful countenance.  These are all the manifestations of what I call the Combustibles, which include but are not limited to:  angst, fear, worry, jealousy, rage,...

Okay.  I know what you're thinking.  Taoism is a very old philosophy that some have even managed to turn into a religion.   It is all about balancing the yin and the yang, transcending the self to reach an enlightened state, and to achieve immortality.  So what does an ancient philosophy of living have to do...
