Personal welcome: I've been in touch with you by e-mail, and this is my first newsletter format, so I hope you don't mind that I'm sending it to you. Please let me know what you think. and what you want to hear about. I want to give you news and views you can use about how to be healthier and happier, and how you can share that wisdom at such a critical time on this planet with major changes in climate, food, and health care, as well as government and the global economy. (You can unsubscribe - click at the bottom.)
It's for people with Vision who are "on the go" who too often say, "I have to let self-care go!" I'm here to remind you, while we are working on our Big Ideas, we'll achieve our goals faster if nourish ourselves: energize ourselves with healthy food, move our bodies, rest when needed, nurture supportive relationships, connect to our spirit, and do the work we love that rewards us financially.
I try to walk my talk. So I included three personal items: my invitation to speak in China about creativity in education (see my new video); wellness coaching as a promising career as I graduate from my second year of Integrative Nutrition; and my upcoming trip to Europe to experience healthy lifestyles. You can follow my travels on Facebook and Twitter and my blog at www.JanetLuongo.com. |

Janet's New Video and Opportunity on China, Transformation in Education. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check the story out on my video about Sharon Crain, who is a bridge bween the U.S. and Chiina for 32 years. She invited me to China to lecture on creativity in education, since they are hungry for this topic and she says she was inspired by my book, 365 Daily Affirmations for Creativity. Many changes are afoot.

Wellness Coach: One of 5 Top Careers Ahead of the Curve
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ U.S. News and World Report listed wellness coach as only one of 5 top careers that are "ahead of the curve." It couldn't be a better time, considering the problems with our health care system, to offer coaching and education in prevention to the millions of Americans who want to lose extra pounds, and to be more energetic and healthy. I am pleased to say I am graduating from my second year at Integrative Nutrition. I was certified in 2008 as a holistic health counselor and now have a TV channel on youtube, do individual and group counseling, and speak to audiences on wellness. Contact me if you would like to know more about the career of wellness coaching and my training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, (see coupon below for $1500 off tuition). |

FEATURE ARTICLE: French Women Today: Still not Fat?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm going to find out this July whether French women (and Europeans in general) today still are not fat. My husband Jim and I will visit friends we met years ago when we lived and taught in Switzerland near Geneva, just on the border of France. Our hosts there live full and purposeful lives teaching, building a school in Tanzania, working an extensive vegetable and flower garden, traveling, and keeping up with their three thriving grown children. We'll see a couple in Eitzen, German, who own a farm, raise horses and other animals, and extend generous hospitality to international friends. Other friends in England include writers, journalists, expatriots. All enjoying good marriages, travel, culture, nature, meaningful work and lots of good food and wine - but they don't seem to get fat. Europe has half the health care costs of the U.S.
In general, Europeans , compared to Americans...
- spend twice as much on their food
- spend half as much on medical care
- take more time to cook and eat
- eat smaller portions, more slowly
- enjoy conversations at meals, not TV
- ban American genetically modified food
- eat less processed food
- treat their livestock better
- are more physically active
- take much more vacation
It's time I did more current "research." Follow my blog in July on www.janetluongo.com to see more details on how Europeans eat and live today that makes them so healthy. |
