"Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance."
~Brian Tracy
I love this thought for the new year. We took the time to set goals in 5 areas- spiritual, emotional, physical, financial and mental. It is powerful to put pen to paper, and put your goals down. If you are not a goal setter, than it is hard to know and acknowledge those milestones of achievement in your life. I don't like resolutions too much, I like the goal aspect, because it gives you the power to choose and work towards something as fast or slow as you would like, without having to "resolve" to do something particular. Take the time to set goals in these areas, and see if your personal "wheel" doesn't run much smoother this fantastic year of 2009!

Limited Offer....
Peppermint Cream
Every year I make this at Christmas time. I have people that get angry at me the rest of the year because they can't get their hands on any. I have people that literally savor the last few swipes of the cream , and hunt me down until they can get some more. Until I can keep up with the demand, it is only offered on certain occasions and not on my website full time. It is luxurious and will soothe and soften even the ugliest cracked heal. Better than anything it is all natural and tingles with peppermint goodness, especially on freshly washed feet and legs. I have a limited stock and when it is gone it is gone. You can buy it here- Click here: Peppermint Cream (6 oz) - $12.08 : Herbalogie, The study of herbs. -first come, first serve. It makes a lovely gift, and if you pair it with an essential oil roller or wellness oil, I will throw it all in an organza bag for free!

Healthy Family Relationships- Group Call
Healthy Family Relationships
Everyone has dysfunction in their families, and at this time of year it seems, we can become more aware of it!
Do you wish you could enjoy family members in a more positive way?
Do you wish you could change negative patterns with people in your family?
Do you wish being together with family could be more enjoyable?
This is a group call for specifically helping you with family relationships in your immediate or extended family. This time of year can be so joyous, but and it can also be difficult if you have family issues.
Do you realize by just you shifting your energy on a call such as this, it can change the patterns in your whole family?
A group call can be very powerful, and the energy is amazing.
We will work on releasing old negative patterns and false assumptions and beliefs between family members, and planting new healthy, supportive thoughts and feelings that support peaceful family relationships.
Join us for this session!
When: Thursday, December 18th, 7pm PST
I love the Christmas Season and I love the charitable giving and receiving that surrounds us. As my gift to you for desiring to change things in your family for the more positive and peaceful feelings you know can exist, I offer this group call at a highly discounted rate of $14. (That is half price!) My desire is for this season to be more happy and healthy than any other and for you and your family to benefit from this amazing work!
Testimonial:
"Using this work to help heal family relationships has been amazing. The gentle and subtle shifts in my own and my loved ones energy still confounds me. Feelings and beliefs that we have had for years have been literally erased and replaced with positive and loving new ones. We are able to truly enjoy each other like we never have. Thank you! ~RMJ
What is a group session?
A group session is where many people are on a call at once. The benefits are that it costs less than a private session, and the energy of a group can be very powerful. The phone lines are muted until the end where I will address specific questions sent to me via email and leave a few minutes for discussion.
How does it work?
I begin the session by doing a general clearing of energy and then we just let it guide us from there. Energy knows no bounds, and the collective group effort is very powerful! It is a great way to feel energized about the specific topic we are discussing and clearing. Personally, after group sessions I have participated in, I feel full of energy, purpose and positive feelings! I feel clear on my direction, and the collective energy of a group makes it even more so. You don't need to completely understand energy work for this to be effective. After the call you will have more clarity on how it works and you will feel the difference!

The Pox
Well, well, well, the chicken pox have arrived just in time for Thanksgiving. I am actually relieved. I believe it is a natural childhood illness that children with strong immune systems can handle quite well. I personally was 14 when I had them, and my Dr. said, and I quote, " I have never seen it cover someones face so badly." Of course my parents happened to be out of town and my older brother and sister tormented me, but that is another story for another day, perhaps!
So, my oldest (12.5) has the pox. His poor face! It looks like a very bad adolescent case of inflamed acne. He is doing well though. He is great about taking his herbs, drinking his herbal tea and wanting natural fruit popsicles to ease the itch of the ones in his mouth. So, I thought I would post what we are doing for the pox. I am planning on 3 other ones getting it, so I am preparing in bulk!
Baths:
I fill a muslin bag (a knee high, or sock would also do), with Oatmeal, Baking Soda, Himalayan Sea Salt, Althea root (Marshmallow), Comfrey, Echinacea, Calendula & Chickweed. The herbs are for their soothing and antibacterial properties. The oatmeal is to help the itch and the baking soda and sea salt to help them dry out. He steeps in his tea bath and gently squeezes the bag to let out all the good stuff, and then washes his body gently with the bag. We empty out the contents after each bath and rinse out the bag and use new herbs for the next bath.
After the bath we apply tea tree and lavender essential oil directly to the most inflamed and itchy ones, and Comfrey and Plantain Salve to the others. The salve is a drawing salve so it draws out any infection and helps heal the pox faster and with less itching. We want them to dry out, but we want to ward off infection as well.
He sips burdock, echinacea, calendula, spearmint, red raspberry and nettle tea hourly. (see recipe below)
We also give him Echinacea tincture and Infection Fighter tincture as well to help his body internally, and boost his immune system.
He still has a low grade fever from time to time, and it make his head ache, so I rub the headache roller (lavender and peppermint essential oils) on his forehead, temples and back of neck. I also rub Immunity Blend on his spine and feet. He is also going to the chiropractor for regular adjustments, as this helps his immunity and strengthens his body systems as well.
His appetite isn't huge and he loves to have his favorites, which are Miso Soup (seaweed, which is high in antioxidants and minerals) and Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. We also have him drinking young coconut juice to help keep his electrolyte's and mineral levels up. http://http://www.living-foods.com/articles/youngcoconuts.html
This morning we watched a show together, and we are doing a modified school schedule, and of course he loves to read. Sadly he is missing violin and church activities and feels a little cabin feverish. I think I will bust out some games for this afternoon. Any other ideas for fun pox activities?
Rash Relief Formula
Modified from the original recipe by Aviva Jill Romm's book "Naturally Healthy Babies and Children" (one of my MUST HAVE, all time favorite books on health)
(these measurements are for dried herbs. If you have fresh, double the amounts)
1/2 oz. echinacea root
1/4 oz. burdock root
1/4 oz. calendula blossoms
1/4 oz. nettle
1/4 oz. red raspberry leaves
1 tsp. dried spearmint leaves
1 qt. boiling water
To prepare: Combine all herbs. Put one ounce of the mixture in a glass mason jar and pour in the boiling water. Cover and steep for 2 hours.
To use: Take by mouth throughout the day. We like to sweeten it with agave or honey.
* You can also make this blend into a tincture to have on hand for general rash or skin problem relief and for general immunity.
