 Greetings!
I am setting an intention for an election day filled with integrity, peace and a vision of compassionate and strong leadership for a more peaceful world. Will you join me?
The article in this issue, "Beyond the Election--My American (and World) Prayer" shares my voice and my heart's reflection as we move from casting our vote to casting a vision for our future.
I am delighted to announce the recent release of Dr. Christiane Northrup's latest book: The Secret Pleasures of Menopause. This book has my vote as a must read for woman of ANY age as it sets them up for a juicy post 50-something life and debunks old ways of thinking about the second half of life.
Although I have my own personal Thanksgiving every day, I want to extend gratitude to each of you for taking time to read the Well Being Newsletter. May you have a long list of things to be thankful for as we celebrate the holidays of the season.
In joyful wellness,
Susan Tate, MA, Editor
Director, Washington Wellness Associates

 BEYOND THE ELECTION--MY AMERICAN (AND WORLD) PRAYER
Mother Teresa said: "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there."
There have been many times in these past months I needed to remind myself to be PRO a candidate rather than AGAINST someone. This historic election will come and go but the days that follow will determine the quality, health and well-being of many lives. So, I decided to share this prayer with you.

 THE SECRET PLEASURES OF MENOPAUSE
The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is a groundbreaking book that is long overdue! Christiane Northrup, M.D., delivers a breakthrough message that will help millions and millions of perimenopausal and menopausal women just like you understand that at menopause . . . life has just begun! It is the beginning of a very exciting and fulfilling time, full of pleasure beyond your wildest dreams!
Dr. Northrup believes that it's time for you to step forward and learn to enjoy the best years of your life! Even though studies show that menopause doesn't decrease libido, ease of reaching orgasm, or sexual satisfaction, the majority of menopausal women aren't experiencing the pleasure and sexual satisfaction that is their birthright. It is a long-held misconception that menopause signals "the beginning of the end," and nothing could be further from the truth.
In this fascinating book, Dr. Northrup candidly guides you toward experiencing life after 50 as the most pleasurable time of your life!

LOSE THE CRAVINGS
Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
~Sidhartha Guatama
If you crave carbohydrates
or sugar, you are not alone. When we consume high-glycemic foods, it
causes an over stimulation of the release of insulin.
A little over a year ago, I discovered a program that successfully reduced my craving for high-glycemic foods. This clinically tested 5-day program, recommended
by Christiane Northrup, M.D., totally reset my metabolism. A year has
passed and I am sustaining its benefits. It is also proving to be
successful in jumpstarting healthier eating habits in my clients.
I was so impressed that I have expanded my business to include collaboration with Dr. Northrup through Team Northrup because of its profound health benefits to many of my clients. Are you ready to kick the sugar or carb cravings? Click here to learn more.
