Women's Life Link Be Well, Be Happy, Be YOU!

I have found that when stuck in a rut (a muddy ditch with monsters that grab you and don't let go) if I do anything different than I have the past fifty times, I get a new result.

Oh, crap...this thing is halfway over! And, I wish I could say that I'd reached all of my mid-point goals - not so much, but I haven't given up. At least the challenge has prodded me to move closer to them. I did have a small epiphany this week though. While at my chiropractor's office, I had to use the restroom and noticed a framed quote on a table across from the toilet.

Sitting on the deck with a cup of quality tea, a good book, and a cool September breeze in my face is what I call a perfect way to spend a few moments of peace. There is truly something calming about taking in the scent of a hot beverage that you know is good for you. Because finding new organic products and edibles is one of my passions, I went looking and found a wonderful source for all-natural, gourmet teas.

You know what? I'm the luckiest blogger in the world to have so many beautiful, talented, and professional women contribute to this web site. I realize that most blogs function with one person at the keyboard; however, I wanted to do things a little differently. Although I'd love to think that "I'm all that", frequent reality checks reveal that's not the case.

I was first introduced to dry skin brushing years ago by a friend and have utilized the technique ever since. The first thing you should know is it has nothing to do with the hair on your body (unless your man looks like an ape and needs that type of grooming). Dry skin brushing is an easy, inexpensive way to invigorate your health.

Landing in Philadelphia for Journey trip #33, I hopped into my car and set Betty (my GPS) to navigate me to Scranton. On the phone with my sister-in-law, I realized I’d been there before. You know that crazy Dèjá Vu feeling that washes over you? And then it hit me.

Have any of you seen the TV ads for the BRCA testing? I had read about it in a women's magazine some time ago but just recently saw a commercial. I was really surprised that the testing company, Myiad, has been running the campaign for two years now considering it was the first one I'd ever seen.

Considering all that you can learn about yourself, the act of "looking within" should become second nature. I find it exciting, difficult, and even scary (sounds like a good thriller) to approach the part of your mind and emotions that often get the brunt of your choices.

In the overall picture of my health challenge, this week wasn't so bad; in terms of the short seven day period, it sucked. It was one laced with a horrible head cold and that same old PMS thing that kept me bloated and grumpy last month. The cold at least kept me popping my extra vitamin C, D, B, and drinking a deluge of liquids. I was reminded of how dry my throat was about every 15 minutes during the night from the inability to breathe through my nose.

A part of coaching a woman to achieve true life fulfillment and happiness is to help her see where she is and where she wants to go. I've had to do a lot of self-coaching over the years just to stay sane and moving forward. And, to tell you the truth, I still have many areas in my life that need work. We all do.

Go figure I woke up with sinuses that had decided to work overtime making snot...don't feel so well. But that's OK; I'm going to practice what I preach and utilize some natural products and therapies for my cold.
