Fort Collins, Colorado is known for many wonderful things: top city to retire in, tons of bars and restaurants to enjoy, pet-friendly businesses and parks, CSU, music and breweries - but the Howe murder too?! A first in our cozy city's history, and the townspeople made it clear they weren't fans of evil crimes...

But wait, there's more! We also hear wild stories and experiences from a local Mason who attends in our 100-year old Masonic Temple.

We share good news about animals during these challenging times in human history, and we cheers with delicous drink and food.

Thank you, Fort Collins Public Media, for helping us produce this episode!

Collin Ruiz has a Masters Degree in Nutrition, is an online health coach, a wonderful single mother, a great friend, and she also spent 2 years in federal prison as an innocent woman. Her story, observations, and life philosophies are a must read in the "page-turner" book titled Buddha Behind Bars.

Collin chose to approach this tragic life chapter with a Buddhist perspective, taking vows and going to a "monastary" vs a prison, being present, observing, and growing as a soul. Life after prison, a halfway house, and probation could bring some people's lives into a spiraling stress case, but not Collin. Today, she has taken all that she learned from her experience, and is helping others seek personal freedom from their mind, body, and habits.
