Very wise words

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
Enough money within her control to move out...
And rent a place of her own
even if she never wants to
or needs to...
Something perfect to wear if the employer
or date of her dreams wants to See Her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
A youth she's content to leave behind....
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her Old Age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
A set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
One friend who always makes her laugh...
And one Who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
A good piece of furniture not previously owned
by anyone else in her Family...
Eight matching plates,
wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal that will make
her guests feel Honored...
A feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to fall in love without losing herself..
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT
RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP...
When to try harder...
And WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change the length of her calves,
The width of her hips,
or the nature of her parents..
That her childhood may not have been perfect...
But it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
How to live alone...
Even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can't,
And why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
Or a charming inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
A month...
And a year...

This is excellent therapy because it increases dopamine and endorphins which are natural pain killers.

People in Ontario who suffer from chronic pain say that the dance therapy they’re receiving as part of a research project is greatly improving their quality of life.

by Steve Nubie, Off The Grid News When it comes to herbal remedies, many of us are familiar with the benefits of Echinacea or purple cone flower as an antibiotic, willow bark as a pain killer and aloe as a topical anesthetic and treatment for skin conditions. But that’s common knowledge compared to…

If you have chronic pain or chronic disease "Mind over Medicine" is a must to read. I had the pleasure of attending one of Dr. Lissa Rankin's workshops a couple of years ago in San Diego. She is an amazing visionary physician.

Davis Suzuki wrote in ‘The Sacred Life’, ‘condensed molecules from breath exhaled from verbal expressions of anger, hatred, and jealousy, contain toxins. Accumulated over 1 hr, these toxins are enough to kill 80 guinea pigs!’ Can you now imagine the harm you are doing to your body when you stay within negative emotions or unprocessed emotional experience throughout the body?

Humans experience an array of emotions, anything from happiness, to sadness to extreme joy and depression. Each one…

Yikes there are some scarey statistics here.

Over the years, the use of narcotic pain killers to treat chronic pain—in particular chronic low back pain—has risen steeply. In the past, usage of narcotics was limited to acute situations of severe pain (i.e. trauma or post-surgical pain) because of the potential risk of addiction.

I have not heard of this before but it might be worthwhile checking out.

It doesn't just reduce depression and heart disease, many studies have now proven that it reduces pain by changing your brain chemistry. And I know many people say they are in too much pain to go out walking and hiking but it is just as effective to sit in a garden or a park. And don't forget to kick off your shoes and get the amazing vibrations from the earth. It all helps to reduce pain and restore balance.

If city residents all went to a park for a half hour weekly, there would be 7 percent fewer cases of depression and 9 percent fewer cases of high blood pressure.

Interesting article. I had no idea that color therapy had such a long history.

Color therapy is a holistic, non-invasive form of healing. Using color meditation and being aware of your environmental colors can be deeply beneficial.

This really helps. I have been doing Tai Chi for about 6 years and have been able to postpone knee surgery all that time. It is very low impact and also great for balance.

As effective as physical therapy, study suggests, plus it might also improve depression

The second one works very well for me and I take it all the time. Keeps the inflammation in check.
