If you’re like me, you must be anticipating the newness of Spring as the season approaches. With our long winter’s nap nearly behind us, we can start to grow and blossom like fresh rosebuds. Now is the time to take advantage of the opportunities to be renewed and healthy – like getting outdoors, being active, enjoying fresh, smoke free air, living cleaner and growing stronger. It’s like a second ‘New Year’, a second chance to make 2019 the healthiest, and most rewarding year yet. What changes will you be making this Spring and who will be making the changes with you?

Release the Emotions with Tapping
Imagine that our minds and bodies are like a swimming pool. Each time in our life when we have been hurt, fearful or traumatized; we add a “ball” to our pool. Too many balls in our pools, and we may start to experience anxiety and overwhelm; we may be quick to anger or tears or a myriad of other non-serving emotions. For some, these trapped emotions may show up as physical ailments. Gently release the emotions attached to the balls in our pool with Tapping/EFT and enhance your emotional wellness. Ease or eliminate pain and stress. Create peace, joy, calm, confidence & clarity.
Do’s and Don’ts of Dating
In today’s distracted world, where people are panicked when they don’t have instant access to their electronics, face-to-face meetings can be a foreign concept. When getting to know someone, it is important that they feel you are giving them your undivided attention. Cell phones need to be on silent and put away while on a date. Exes are not discussed. Communication needs to be real. Texting and emailing are not appropriate ways to get to know someone. Take the time to call them and have a real conversation. Do an activity on your date where you have ample time to get to learn more about the person. Mini golf, bowling, the zoo, or walking through craft shows are some suggestions that allow you to get to know one another without pressure.
