Tips and Things
Know Breast Cancer
Welcome to Know Breast Cancer, a national breast cancer prevention project aimed at educating women about real breast cancer prevention.
Although
there is a huge movement around breast cancer awareness, little is said
about how women can prevent or stop breast cancer before it starts. |
The Book Corner
"The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer: A Practical Manual for Understanding, Prevention & Care"
by Sat Dharam Kaur, N.D. Robert Rose
A beautifully written personal
guide that offers a clear understanding of both the environmental causes of
breast cancer and the subsequent daily habits we must each follow to
significantly lower our risks of a breast cancer diagnosis.

Monthly Musings

Dear Magic Friends,
Welcome to our December 2009 edition of Magical Moments. I wrote this last December and loved it so much I am recycling it for your reading pleasure.
Oh the
holidays!
Two of my girlfriends and I get together
with our husbands every December to celebrate
the holidays, have dinner and exchange
gifts. My friend Kim loves to cook for all
of us, so we always go to her house and allow
her to pamper us, which she does in great style.
With everything going on in the world
today, and all of us knowing that we absolutely
DO NOT need another gift, we decided this year
to re-institute our version of a holiday swap,
which we had great fun with many years
ago. It goes like this...
Instead
of giving each other store bought gifts, we each
rummage through our homes and select something
we love but are ready to part with. It has
to be something in great condition, that is
meaningful, and something the giftee would
really, really love. You then just wrap it up
and give it away.
A few years ago, when
we did this swap, I gave away a necklace my
mother had given me that I had worn a lot and
enjoyed, but did not feel I needed to keep any
longer. Kim loved the necklace and I was
happy it was no longer sitting in my jewelry box
collecting dust.
As the gift giver a lot
of thought goes into selecting the perfect gift
that ultimately has more meaning than store
bought gifts. Receiving a giftthatI knew
had special meaning for my dear friendmakes
itextra special. Like the set of dishes I
received that had been a wedding gift from my
girlfriend's husband to her on their wedding
day. I love those dishes. Every time I use
them, I think of her and smile.
It's hard
to say who gets more enjoyment out of the swap -
the giftee or the gifter! I'd like to
think it's a pretty even balance!
And the
price is so right!
Happy Holidays
to you all. Remember to take time during
this month to rest and replenish, and as my
first coach Cheryl Richardson would say,
implement "extreme self
care".
♥Magical
Musings♥
Q. What one or two things you could
do for yourself this month that would help you
decompress from the chaos of the season?
MAY LIGHT AND JOY SURROUND YOU this
holiday season! I hope it will be a time
of many blessings.
Magically yours,

Healthy Eating-Debra's Olive Oil Vinaigrette
Debra Stark of Debra's Natural Gourmet in West Concord, MA always has the best recipes that are delicious and healthy. Here is another one she shared with us at our Fall Retreat that is especially fabulous and she says healthy for you too.
"I always have this dressing in my
refrigerator. I store it in recycled
glass jars, my favorite kind being the 32-ounce juice jars. Because olive oil gets solid when cold, you
have to remove your jar from the fridge and allow dressing to come to room
temp, about 15 minutes before you want to use.
Shake well, pour and return jar to refrigerator. It keeps for weeks.
Makes 6 cups
4 C extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 tsp sea salt
1 C lemon juice
2 tsp black pepper
1 C raw apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dried basil
10 cloves garlic, pressed in garlic
press
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp dried thymeEnjoy!
Mix everything in a jar, glass bowl or
large, 8-cup measuring cup. I like to
mix with a fork. Alternatively, make
dressing in a blender, in which case you don't need a garlic press. Store in the refrigerator. Your dressing will cloud up and become
semi-solid because of the cold. Not to
worry.

Women on the Edge of Evolution Teleseries: The Sacred Task of Midwifing the Integral Feminine
There's
an impulse being felt by millions of people around the world: the
yearning to reclaim the feminine. From ancient prophecies to modern day
manifestos, the 21st century is heralded as the time when the
integration of both masculine and feminine energies, values, and ways
of knowing and being will constellate and give birth to the next stage
of our collective human journey. But how will this integration take
place? And what's the significance of our role as women in this
process?
According to Claire Zammit, in order for this
reintegration of the feminine to catalyze our next evolutionary stage
of development, it must be consciously evolved and expressed through
women at the integral level of consciousness. This "new feminine" is
unlike anything we've seen in our history. Women who are living on the
edge of evolution, that is, those of us who have the privilege of being
freed up from the task of merely surviving and are able to participate
in the process of pioneering new structures in consciousness, have a
sacred calling to lead the way.
Join Claire Zammit and Katherine Woodward as they offer us an opportunity to awaken the integral feminine in
yourself and midwife it into our world.
Teleseries can be downloaded here.

When We Learn to Give, We Start to Live
How many
times in your life have you said, "Someday when I have plenty of time and
money, I will ..." Each of us comes to a point in our life where we stop and
think, "What am I doing with my life? Am I living my life's purpose?
As I
approached my 60th birthday I realized that someday was today. It
was time to do the things I dreamed possible. My lifelong dream was to be a
philanthropist, to devote my finances, energy and talent to benefits others.
With co-author, Joy Macci, we conceived of a book designed to inspire the
reader to discover their unique gifts and begin giving them.
The Luxury of Life Project is based on the
book, Enjoy Luxury of Life: Your Secret Keys to Giving and World Wealth. We bring together individuals and
organizations with the common goal of improving the quality of life for others.
Giving starts with a simple act. Everyone can give a gift of kindness, words of
encouragement or acknowledgment to someone each day. As you give to others daily,
watch your life change.
The true
luxury of life is through giving to others. Give one gift each day. Invite
others to join you. A community based on giving brings love, vitality, and
meaning. Imagine a world where everyone gave a gift every day. Imagine the
benefit to future generations.

Solstice
by
Greta Bro, 2003
In the cycle
of early winter
When night
yawns wide
And the
membrane between worlds
Grows porous
and thin
Kernels of
inspiration
Release from
holy sources and
Seek the
voluptuous folds
Of the fertile
dark
Fleeting
moments of clarity
Mark this
sacred event
Where Heaven
and Earth unite
Ancient
passageways unlock and align
Granting
access to subterranean growing fields
Far below the
frost line of survival mind
Here tucked
safely away from doubts and chatter
Vision swells
and germinates into blueprints of knowing
Highways of
instruction so powerful that in time
They thrust
the individual irreversibly
out of fear's
quick sand of complacency,
And plant her
feet steadfastly
On the road
to the new world. To learn more about Greta, click here.
