Arthritis Joint Pain can be your curse or your wake up call and a blessing. Guess who gets to choose? Three letter word – sounds like Casper the ghost’s favorite word …
What causes arthritis joint pain in the first place? For most it is simply a side affect of aging, a result of lifetime wear and tear. The most common form, osteoarthritis, shows up as joint inflammation and swelling, joint pain, stiffness and decreased range of motion. In case you think these are good reasons to be a couch potato, think again.
Move it or loose it – Joint lubrication and flexibility.
My dentist once told me to “only floss the teeth” I wanted to keep. Isn’t that a horrifying image? I’ve been a flossing daily ever since. Same thing goes for “only moving the muscles, bones and joints” you think you’d like to use.
Walking specialist Mary Anne Dunkin puts it another way, “walking strengthens muscles, which helps shift pressure from joints and reduce pain. And repeated walking Read the rest of this entry »
Instead of junk mail I’d like to celebrate “National Card and Letter Writing Month” with some good news, please. I’d like a card from someone who knows and loves me. Or a note from someone who would like to know and love me. Heck, I’d settle for any piece of mail that does not threaten or guilt me into …

When I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer last year I scurried about to find new tools for my self-help toolbox. Yes I needed more energy. The stress of the “adventure,” plus the radiation treatment, was exhausting. But I was also looking for somethingS to change my insides – my mental, emotional, spiritual and molecular makeup.
Dr. Andrew Weil & Kimba Arem’s self-help Cd offered to “revitalize your body & mind with proven sound healing tools.” Right on.
Self-Healing with sound & music is a two-disc package. Disc One explains the science behind the sounds. Chapters include: “How sound affects our physical and emotional health,” “The Principle of Entrainment*,” “Vocalizing Vowel Sounds for Self-Healing” and “Interacting with the Chakras through Sound.” Fascinating.
Disc Two is the sound and music – about one hour of bliss. The track names are appropriate: “Water Way,” “Spinal Ebb,” “Peace Journey,” “Angels of the Deep,” etc. This disc is now a part of my nightly Read the rest of this entry »

Join us for Fruit & Veggie Day!
I really look forward to Mondays these days. It feels GREAT to be taking good care of myself and filling up on the “good stuff.” (Do you know that country song?!) It is also a treat to have a day off from cooking, prepping and cleaning up. I figure this activity gives me at least two hours of FREE time - me time while re-energizing, healing and thrilling my body. What a GREAT way to start the week!
Adding into the practice today … I am taking the day off from T.V. and radio.
Was just reading that “TV viewers are 47 percent less likely to walk 10,000 steps than nonwatchers. And, scientists now know that for every hour of TV you watch, you reduce the number of your steps by 144.” Source: Fit to Live: The 5-Point Plan to be Lean, Strong, and Fearless for Life
With an extra two hours in my day I think I can fit in a little extra walking … hmmm. What else?
What about you?
