Greetings!
Ok. I'll give it to you straight.
If you want some sanity, a feeling that you are not out of control. If you are looking for how to cope with all that is being thrown at you and your friends. If you feel this edge that won't soften and you just know there is something that's really close that will melt the edges enough to let you burst through...you are in luck. I know just the thing.
I know you are expecting me to just tell you that thing...but you should know me better then that by now. There has to be a story. A parable. I know, I should have been a kindergarten teacher.
You won't believe this but the story is actually about my first training bra. Bear with me...it will make sense. I didn't need one, but all the girls were wearing them. We didn't have a lot of money when I was a kid and this was an expense that was non-essential, but my mom took me to the store and bought me one anyway. It was a size 0 and it was in a box and it was all lacy. But not the nice French lace of today...really scratchy lace.
Anyway...I had my mom buy me this bra so I could feel like I fit in (I was always a very different and sensitive little girl) but what I found out is that I couldn't breathe when I had it on. They didn't have me try it on in the store so it probably didn't fit. And worse then that, it itched like I was being bit over and over by little bugs.
So I was now straddled by two very different things. On the one hand I wanted to fit in with all the other girls and this seemed like an important way to do this at the time. And on the other hand, my mom had just spent this money on me and I didn't want her to feel like she wasted it.
So I started playing games. When I got to school I would have my shirt arranged in such a way that the girls could see the strap of my bra. After enough folks had seen it, I would go into the bathroom and take it off and shove it in the bottom of my backpack.
I would put it on again when my mom got home from work so she could see me wearing it, then make a fuss about needing to take it off after wearing it all day...so she thought she got her money's worth.
This shows two very different things with one common lesson. I was out of my integrity. I was trying very very hard to be part of a community on the one hand. And trying very very hard to be a good member of the community on another. But no matter how hard I tried, I failed at both because in both cases my light was dimmed. I was not being myself or true to my needs as an individual.
Where am I going with this? Besides itchy training bras are horrible?
So much of our dis-ease is because we are out of our integrity. Look inside, take a moment right now and find one area where you are not acting from a place of strength and therefore reacting, acting, engaging from a place of imbalance. Look at your actions, and those reactions they cause. How could you have acted differently? How could you have FELT something differently? How can you engage differently?
This is the trick. The lesson. This is where all the imbalance is coming from.
This is where illness begins. This is where depression begins. This is where arguments begin. This is where anger begins. This is where loneliness begins.
I have been doing my fair share of looking inward this year. I have made my inventory and taken great strides to right the wrongs. I have looked deep and faced my fears, the deep ones, the ones covered in shame and regret and I have dealt with them, scraping myself raw.
And then, instead of retreating...because that is what I love to do....instead this time, I took a step. Just a small one. Then another. Then another. And these steps were towards people, towards community, toward something new and unfamiliar but fun and authentic.
And no folks, this was not easy. But I am here in the middle of it and extending a hand and asking you to try. Try something new. Try it with someone new, or someone you haven't seen in a while. Try it in little bits and get used to it and then try to push a little more.
And soon you will find that the sanity you were looking for. The control. All the pieces that feel out of whack will fade, or heal, or merge...and in the space that is created you will find yourself. And that control will slacken and in it's stead will be open heartedness that trusts, and intuition that feels and responds...and my friends...in this Age of Aquarius...at the end of the Mayan calendar that is what we are moving towards.
Open hearted connection that leads to peace that leads to joy that leads back to connection.
I'm sorry for the long opening but I have been hearing from so many of you and I have been going through it myself. The energies are very hard right now, but they are simply challenging us to be our very best. And the challenge is to find each other and open up to the experience. The challenge is to see the past for the past and let the future unroll naturally, and be here now.
Thank you for letting me explore the possibilities of our current situation with you. It's hopefully as healing for me to get this out as it is for you to read it.
Honor your path and the steps it leads you on. Allow your integrity to be your guide. Keep an open heart and life will begin to feel like a glide.
As always an energy attainment may help make dynamic shifts in this process. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
With Love...a fellow journey woman...

Money Saving Packages
| |
 Get 'em while they're hot!
I have been working really really hard and I wanted to get a few massages, but when I checked it out the price was too high to get more then one. And then I realized it was pretty close to the same price I was charging. If I can't get excited about paying for more then one...how can I assume you will?
So. With great excitement I unleash a new way of doing business.
You are invited to buy 4 treatments at $85 each (My price hasn't been $85 in over five years). The total cost for the package is $340. It gives you 4 one-hour treatments. They must be used within four months or you lose them though. This is a good fit for folks who want to come in at least once a month. Or folks who want to really work on something and come in frequently. Not for the once a season folks.
You can just tell me you want the special package when you come in, and I will remind you about it if you forget.
If you want longer, it's $45 per every half-hour we go over, if I have the time.
I really hope you take me up on it...I feel like it's the perfect antidote to the energy that's been going around.
Happy fall. Happy healing. Happy money-saving packages!

Ever wanted to LEARN to run?

 Did you ever hear about my Asthma?
Another short story. A few years ago you may remember I had Pneumonia. It never seemed to heal then turned into adult onset asthma and my ND kept telling me to run. I cussed under my breath and kept doing yoga. A year later she said it again and I cussed under my breath, but later that afternoon a patient came in excitedly and told me all about her couch to 5K class, a class designed to get people effectively off the couch and running...without having any prior experience.
I cussed out loud and realized I couldn't avoid it any longer. Well, that was officially a year ago and much has happened, in addition to the fact that I now consider myself a runner. Yes...Me...slow e....a runner.
Oh. And I no longer have asthma. :)
Beth...the inspired leader of this venture is starting some new classes and I wanted to help her fill them with a crop of newbies.
Please, if this even sounds a little interesting to you...check it out. It has changed my life.

Nicotine Problem?
| |
 I gotcha
I have several of these in stock and can order more if I run out...but if quitting smoking or however you get your nicotine is on your list of potentials for a new years resolution....you could get a jump on that and call it good before New Years!
(You don't need an appointment, though I know you want one...Just let me know when you'd like to come grab it or I can put it in the mail for ya!)
