Have a safe and blessed Easter

 Greetings!

Easter is early this year, and maybe you feel like you need a rest and the four day break couldn't have come at a better time.  We hope you'll take some time to relax and wind down and do something nice for yourself.
 
Easter is a special time to us. As you may know we are Christian.  Good Friday and resurrection Sunday are significant events in the calendar for our family as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the healing and forgiveness that brings to us all.
 
I've had a good tip from Paula about Easter eggs.  If you're on a gluten free and dairy free diet at the moment, you can get eggs at KMart Armadale.  Myer didn't have any, even though their website says they do.  Twiggs and Crave in Armadale, near the new IGA in the Woolworths complex also have some dairy free eggs.  If you're on the Keto System for weight loss, you might want to call by and pick up a few Keto Bars as a substitute for a chocolate egg.  Anticipating temptation and having a plan is part of the battle. :-)  You'll be halfway there if you can do this.
 
For a nice relaxing bath that will sooth your aching muscles if you've been out in the garden working or playing sport, add 6 teaspoons of bicarbonate soda and 6 tablespoons of epsom salts.  They are on the supermarket shelf for about $2 each.  Add your favourite essential oils for a nice fragrance and put on your favourite music.   
 
Sometime over the weekend, take a moment to breath in and fill your lungs up, then breath out and relax.  Do this a few times.  You'll be surprised how something so simple can help you feel  better.  We're often so busy, we forget to breath deeply, taking shallow breaths.  Have a nice big stretch and give thanks for something you're gratful for.
 
 Paul has been a great seminar with some new research and break throughs in the treatment of allergies.  I'll tell you more about that shortly.  For now, we just wanted to drop you a line and wish you and those you love a very blessed and safe Easter.
