Well, my first session with my life coach is now done. I just got off the phone with her. She explained to me the answer to the question many people have. . . “What is a life coach? What does she do?” I loved her definition of “A life coach helps pull out of you what God has put into you.” Don’t you like that? Here is a bit about what my hour with her entailed.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to work with a “life coach.” My personality is to “get things done” (though I also procrastinate on some things. . . you can ask my mother!) But the idea of paying someone to tell me what I already knew I ought to be doing, well, let’s just say it wasn’t really appealing. On the flip side, I knew the accountability could be a very good thing. It has been many years since I have been “forced” to sit down and take the time to look at my hopes and dreams and truly listen to what God was saying. Last June Mary Yerkes, a certified Christian life coach (who also lives with rheumatoid arthritis like myself) asked if I would be interested in her services. I took the plunge, … [Read more...]

Acupuncture can be an alternative treatment option that can be very beneficial in relieving some pain & possibly other symptoms of a disease or condition. According to Wikipedia, "Acupuncture is the procedure of inserting & manipulating filiform needles into various points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes.

October 25, 2009 By 2 Comments

You may love the scents of the reed diffusers, but they quickly dry & up get expensive to replace. Here is an easy way to make your own or make up a bunch for special Christmas gifts. You can get cute bottles at your local craft or $.99 store (or Google "wholesale bottles") & tie a pretty bow around it. Just pour some unscented mineral oil into your bottles & then mix in 1 tsp of your favorite essential oil scent. If you don't have reeds, cut off the points of some bamboo skewers you use for BBQing & you are ready to go. Now you can have lav&ar in the bedroom (for easy sleep) & peppermint in the kitchen (to wake you up!) … [Read more...]
