Compassion – or Excuses?
We all need to cut ourselves some slack sometimes. But that can get away from us – compassion can seem like a loophole, a cop-out, or a way out. Then, filled with regrets, we may start self-blaming to compensate! However, real self-compassion is not an excuse – nor is self-discipline a punishment. How do you motivate yourself without being too hard or too soft? How do you operate effectively and work towards your goals? Counselling is a safe and neutral place to work out better ways to meet your commitments without hurting yourself.
The Science of Holistic Nutrition
The Science of Holistic Nutrition
Holistic Nutrition is a profession that looks at, not only food and its nutrients (and how they help balance the body), but also the How, When, Where and Why of the individual client.
At the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, we have a curriculum that is a balance of both hard science such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry, and social sciences, (defined by the study of people, individually and in groups, their customs and relationships) in courses such as Prevention, Life-stages, Ecology, and Symptomatology. Symptomatology, with its focus on the individual’s identification of health-concerns and symptoms, is a perfect blend of both the hard and social sciences. This allows the holistic nutritionist to assess the whole person and make recommendations to improve his or her health.
Avoiding Tax-Related Scams
Taxes are done, and hopefully, you did not owe but are expecting a refund – a legitimate refund. So many are reporting emails from CRA about a refund ready for deposit in your account, but the details need to be confirmed – just click here. Scam alert! CRA would not send you an email like this. Alternatively, many are advising that they have received calls from CRA about debt owed, myself included, and if arrangements to pay are not immediate, then the police will be called. Scam alert! We need to be careful and confirm directly with CRA any debt owed.

Benefits of Well-Fitting Partial Dentures
When a person needs a partial denture, it is crucial to have one that fits properly. Metal partial frames are the preferred choice because they are strong and thin. They are more comfortable and enable clearer speech. A good-fitting partial will balance your bite to help you chew better and have a healthier jaw joint (TMJ), plus it will provide support for lips and cheeks. If a partial is not fitting tight around the natural teeth, it will cause damage to the roots of the teeth. On average, partial dentures should be replaced every 7 years.
