Create a Life
you Love
|
| Greetings!
We're into the busiest season of the year and I hope you are enjoying it. We had a fabulous time with our son and his girlfriend who flew in to see us for Thanksgiving.
December could be a dangerous month for those who are watching their diet and weight. Here is an article about one beverage to avoid at all costs, plus one superfood for energy. I am giving some talks locally that are free and open to the public about Creating a Long and Happy Life, and Creating a New Life at any age - see details below.
Consider giving a gift to help someone you care for create a life they love - see my suggestions - a book of affirmations, and gift certificates for anyone who could use some guidance in these difficult times - an Envision Workshop, or a counseling/coaching session in nutrition, weight management, balancing life, or in career transition and job search.
If you know anyone who would benefit from a $500 Scholarship to study holistic health and personal growth as well as start a new career in a year - please pass it on.
If you want to donate to your favorite charity, here's a creative suggestion - you could offer them a talk by me on Creating a Life You Love, similar to the one I gave in Nashville, Tennesse and Xian, China that was a big hit.
Or maybe you yourself want some TLC - see my programs below.

 ONE BEVERAGE TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS (From Dr. Mercola)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soda
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Plus, drinking all that sugar will likely suppress your appetite for healthy foods, which pave the way for nutrient deficiencies.
Soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States over the last decade, which is not surprising considering that most school hallways are lined with soda-filled vending machines.
Schools often make marketing deals with leading soft drink companies such as Coca-Cola from which they receive commissions--based on a percentage of sales at each school--and sometimes a lump-sum payment, in exchange for their students' health. School vending machines can increase the consumption of sweetened beverages by up to 50 or more cans of soda per student per year.
If you routinely drink soda--regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.

ONE SUPERFOOD FOR ENERGY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Medical News Today. www.medicalnewstoday.com. Aug. 2006  If you could eat foods that were tasty, nutritious and helped reduce your risk of disease, what more could you want? The August issue of Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource offers its 10 top picks for healthy foods. Here's one that is seasonal and local!: Apples: Apples are a good source of pectin, a fiber that can lower cholesterol and glucose levels. They're also a good source of vitamin C -- an antioxidant that protects your body's cells. Vitamin C also keeps your blood vessels healthy and aids in the absorption of iron and folate. |

 Who are your parents, really?!
Film showing of 51 Birch Street, a movie listed as one of the top 10 films of 2006 by the NY Times. It tells the story of how documentary filmmaker Mike Block was mourning the death of his mother, only to find his father falling in love with a new woman (Carol) and planning - at 83 years old - to marry her and move away!
Carol is my stepmother. And Mike passed away this August. I will lead the discussion afterwards, about family relationships, secrecy, and true love. Guaranteed to be stimulating and give us plenty to talk about!
