Holiday stress

The holidays can cause stress for even the most organized person so we all need to take a step back, a deep breath and keep moving forward. The biggest thing to remember is there are only so many hours in a day and sometimes you just can't do it all.

So, how can you avoid getting totally overwhelmed? Here are a few suggestions.

Keep a running list of the things you need to get done. Prioritize the list and work top to bottom.

Be realistic with what items you place on the list. You can't possibly do it all in a day or two. Start early.

During the holidays (and the rest of the year) take a break and do a little something nice for yourself.

Giving is always a good thing. You can give your time, money or possessions but don't feel pressured to do so.

Remember that the world won't come to an end if every little detail isn't perfect. Have a good time and enjoy your friends and family.

Happy Holidays!

Food recalls

Is there some reason we seem to have to have a major food recall every two years? Not to mention the smaller recalls that are much more frequent. Think about it.

Spinach 2006

Beef 2008

Eggs 2010


Maybe this is so the alphabets can justify their jobs. Or, is it to make you want them to irradiate your food?


This is why we raise our own chickens. No salmonella worries here.


Don't let this give eggs a bad name again. Remember this...

The Incredible Edible Egg...

are you singing the commercial now?


On a serious note, eggs are a great source of protein and they should be included in everyone diet. Go to your local farmers market and pick some up!

Great site for vaccine information

This site is a great resource for vaccine information no matter which side of the fence you are sitting on.

Most of you know how I feel about vaccinations in general so I won't go there today but if you are looking for more than the typical mainstream media vaccine hype, this is the place.

Back to school

Are you ready for summer to be over and the kids to be back in school?

It can be a very stressful time for everyone involved.

Here are a few tips to make the transition a little easier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Put the laundry away in "outfits". This makes it much easier for the younger kids to get themselves dressed.

Pick out tomorrow's outfit tonight.

Have the backpacks loaded and ready to go the night before and in a specific place.

Set aside a space that is just for school communication. There will always be things that need to be reviewed and signed and if there are routinely in the same place it is less likely that they will be misplaced. It can be a folder, basket or a magnet on the refrig.

Try to leave one night per week completely open so that there can be some down time for everyone.

Try these few things and see how it goes.
Good luck and happy school year!

If you are considering allowing your daughter to receive the Gardasil vaccine please read the following list of possibe side effects before you make your decision.


Gardasil’s serious side effects now include Guillain-Barre syndrome, lupus, seizures, anaphylactic shock, chronic fatigue, paralysis, blood clots, brain inflammation, blurred vision and blindness, convulsions, demyelinating encephalomyelitis, multiple sclerosis, pancreatitis and various digestive disorders.

I can't imagine that the benefits outweigh the negative possibilities with this vaccine.

I won't name names but............

I just had a client tell me that she is doing everything she can to get healthy... she promised. So, I started down my list of "Are you really doing everything you can to get healthy" questions. Well, low and behold she is still drinking diet pop and it's one of the very first things that I ask my clients to quit doing.

ARGH.... no wonder people are not getting well.

Please if you drink this stuff do some research. It is so very harmful and the powers that be want you to not understand that. They have demonized regular pop (not that it's much better) so that they can keep pumping the chemical down your throat.

Do you have Candida and maybe aren't aware?

Candida

Sounds harmless to most people but when you understand what an overgrowth of candida can do to your health it may surprise you.

We all have candida..... no matter what but when it becomes overgrown it can do considerable damage to your over all health and well being.

How does this happen?

Here are the main culprits.....

Standard American Diet (SAD)
Taking anti-biotics
Using the birth control pill

I don't have time today but I will post the symptoms if candida overgrowth soon.
Till next time.

No Expectations, Endless Possibilities

No Expectations, Endless Possibilities



We expect things in life. We expect things to be as they were in our childhood, the way we were brought up. We expect things to be the way we want them to be, the way we feel things should be. We expect things to be the way we want them to be in our love life, our careers, our families, our vacations and our relationship with others.



"The greater you expect things to be, the harder it is to deal with things that do not go your way!"



Already, I can sense resistance!



Having no expectations is one of the greatest lessons we can learn. This is not an easy concept to wrap your mind around.



In my practice, I see this everyday:



The 30 year old female who gives up other interests, activities, and friends, now that she is in this new relationship. She is expecting that each new relationship is "the one." She feels incomplete without a relationship and she is expecting that he will change into the man she wants him to be.



The 75 year old grandmother, who expects her children and grand children to all be with her on every single holiday.



The 23 year old college grad who expects to have all the computer companies knocking at his door to employ him because he was at the top of his graduating class.



Are you ready to forget about what you think you want, and learn more about the endless possibilities that are available to you?



1. Allow change to happen freely.

2. Let go of old ideas.

3. Embrace new ideas, no matter how different they are from yours.

4. Conflicting thoughts are not a threat. They can be a window of opportunity.

5. Go into EVERY situation with an open mind.

6. Follow a new idea or opportunity where IT leads you, NOT where you want it to go.

7. Take a new situation, one day at a time.

8. Be available mentally, emotionally, spiritually for an approach that may be different than yours.

9. Find the positive in EVERY situation that is presented to you. Why was this situation brought to me?

10. Learn the lesson the Universe is tossing your way.



Progress is not possible unless people embrace new ideas, mind sets, skills and expectations to match the opportunities afforded by the introduction of something new to them!



By allowing yourself to be open to ANYTHING that is new to you and giving it a chance, you can find your life going in the direction of new adventures and endless possibilities!



Try it today!

Mother's Day

Here's hoping that everyone had a great Mother's Day.

Ingesting worms on purpose?

I have read several articles in that past week about this new craze that really isn't new.

Apparently, people in Hong Kong are ingesting intestional roundworms to lose weight. Now I have to say that this just totally gives me the creeps and I can't imagine being able to actually swallow a worm. Sadly, they are doing a lot of damage and the Hong Kong government has issued warnings to get folks to stop this practice.

This was something that I have read about in the past and was popular in the early 1900's as a weight loss tool.

I am an advocate of anything alternative and natural, but this is one "remedy" that was better left in the history books.

This one takes the cake!!

If you have ever used an ear candle, please make sure to read the entire article.


www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4790

The FDA has told 14 of the 15 known companies that manufacture ear candles to cease doing business immediately and are now regulating the candles as a medical device.

This is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

If you are as outraged as I am, please sign the petition at the bottom of the article.

We need to get this reversed.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Keep Swimming !

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl,
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy view,
"I shall drown," he cried, "and so will you."

So with a last despairing cry,
He closed his eyes and said, "Good-bye.
"But the other frog, with a merry grinSaid,
"I can't get out, but I won't give in!

I'll swim around till my strength is spent.
For having tried, I'll die content.
"Bravely he swam until it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.

On the top of the butter at last he stopped
And out of the bowl he happily hopped.
What is the moral? It's easily found.
If you can't get out -- keep swimming around!

What is a Naturopath?

The term Naturopathy originated in the late 19th Century but the art had been traced back through Germany into Greece, to Hippocrates himself, and beyond. There have always been people who understood that healing will occur naturally in the human body, if it is given what it truly needs --- proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest. For these people, the emphasis has not been on finding a disease and killing it, but rather on helping the body establish its own state of good health. In today’s world these people are known as naturopaths. True naturopaths recognize that allopathic health care is sometimes necessary. They also know that many people can achieve and maintain good health through the use of Naturopathy.

When determining the root cause of a client's issues, true naturopaths do not diagnose or treat disease, but instead focus on health and education. They teach clients how to create an environment that is conducive to good health, enabling their clients to make their own choices and be very proactive about their health and well-being.

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year!

The Year of the Tiger is upon us.

Have a great time ringing in the new year.

Have your resolutions fallen by the wayside?

We didn't put any time frames on the changes we plan to make this year. Just day by day doing the best we can. Our main goal is our diet so we are using up the things that we want to eliminate (because we just can't waste) and hope to have our new "diet" phased in completely by March 1st.

We won't be following any one plan entirely but a collection of things based on our tastes and of course not making the shopping too difficult when we are unable to get to the mainland. The overview is this.

High quality protein
No starch - pasta - potatoes
No high sugar content vegetables
Phasing out coffee altogether

We plan to follow a strict pattern for a month and see how we feel. Eventually we will slowly add somethings back in to see if we notice any difference.

Not really a resolution... more like a science experiment!

Happy New Year

Well, all the hustle and bustle of the holiday's are over and hopefully everyone survived the chaos. We are lucky in that we can keep things very simple and so there isn't much in the way of stress during this time of the year.

If you have chosen to make any New Year's Resolutions I wish you all the best in keeping them!

Happy New Year!
