Featured "Guest Voice" article for JessWeiner.com, author and Self-esteem expert “Have you always been such a “natural” at speaking to large groups?” Still, after the umpteenth time being asked this, I empathetically reply, “No, I used to be so shy simply thinking of calling a friend on the phone made me feel queasy.” It was during the pivotal time of junior high school that I decided to

Sophia’s Tales Doris-Anxiety-Stuck in Life 1    It’s a glorious mid-summer day so Nana leaves the windows and doors open to     freshen things up a bit. The forrest-green screen door remains closed while the     heavy, red outer door is wide open. This seemingly flimsy screen door is the kind     that slams shut with a snap momentarily after the lacquer-finished,     slippery-    edged door

Yammies Free of Gluten, Dairy (opt.), Nuts, Soy, Corn This is one our family’s favorite side dishes. It goes great with breakfast food like eggs and sausage. Being a root vegetable, yams are naturally grounding and balancing for Air-types. This is also indicated by their sweet flavor, which is also a balancing characteristic for Fire-types. Earth-types will more than likely enjoy yams greatly,

Do you think Type A personalities are more attracted to yoga than other types? Does this ad offend you--or make you laugh?

I'll begin by saying, I don't remember where I read this, but it was very insightful. About a month ago I had a bit of an epiphany. I was reading a great book and among many great lessons nestled this one; to some people balance is doing less, for others it is having many things going on simultaneously in their life. What!? This shattered a paradigm that I had been neatly building for a few

SQUIRREL! I was in the car with my husband Jon the other day, we were discussing the innate differences between boys and girls.

What I am presenting is a thought expanded from an Edgar Cayce reading. This, for the most part, is not something that is to be proven or dis-proven. Rather, it is a thought presented in order for us to consider the miraculousness of the universe and the likelihood of some greater intelligence.Edgar Cayce was an early twentieth century prophet. He had a psychic gift since a young age- as many

Elderberry Syrup Echinacea has long gotten the kudos for protecting us from common colds and the flu. As I have recently learned and experienced, Elderberry is much better as an immune system booster. This is not to dethrone Echinacea entirely, it still has itʼs place in herbal pharmacopeia. Elderberry syrup is very easy to make and the affects are well worth the minimal time and expense to

Now with Memorial Day on the heels of our past, summer is in full swing for most of us.What do you do on a regular basis that keeps you grounded, regular, or even sane? Do you take a daily walk, spend an hour to yourself in the morning before heading off to work, or tinker with your "toys" in the garage in

Chili is often thought of as a fall or winter meal. It helps warm the body and leaves a hearty feeling in the tummy. Spring is a wet, cool time. Many people come down with the sniffles or a cold- and some experience seasonal allergies. Chili is actually a great remedy for such symptoms. Why? you might ask. Well, chili has naturally medicianal warming and drying qualities to it which

All great things in our individual lives and in the world began as a thought. It is up to us to decide and to be aware of who we allow to plant thoughts in the fertile ground of our mind and whether we want to cultivate them. Be aware of the thought weeds- ready to overcome this precious territory! You be the thought gardener; plant and care for the seeds that you wish to grow and harvest!

Also, love conquers all- remembering

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds) Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's. A grandfather is a man & a grandmother is a lady! Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small Texas town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on. As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family.. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were

I just have to tell you all this funny story- a little laugh therapy!This morning I was doing my breathing exercises and getting ready for savasana. We recently got a new kitty who is about 8 months old and is still making quite a few kitten discoveries. Apparently she was observing my belly breath movement as I was counting and deliberately breathing into my belly as I lie relaxed on my back.

Some of the best reading for me is going through quotes of people- famous and not. As poems and aphorisms cause me to think, so do these dense nuggets of knowledge, faith, experience and love.Here is one that eloquently states what I have felt and believed for quite some time.All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.EpictetusMore on EpictetusI could be

Well after I sent it out, I thought, why not put it up on my blog!?

There are so many things I want to write about and will, but I want to put a bit different spin on things. Information is prevalent on the internet. When I want to research something in regards to health and wellness I want to find a good resource and something that offers a different perspective from the standard that make me think. I aspire to provide this.So I will continue to write on

The topic of soy and whether (or how) to eat it is a complex one in my mind. I have often wanted it write about, but did not know where to begin. Then, I received an e-mail from a wonderful person with whom I have been corresponding and it flowed!With her permission- here is a summary of our e-mails and my studied opinions on soy. ***This is not meant to be

The day after we put our dear kitty to sleep I thankfully had a massage appointment. It was hard to allocate the cause of my aching shoulder and head and stuffy nose to a cold or lamenting the passing of this wonderful being. I think both.Most of the time I talk with Lynn while I am on her table. We share similar beliefs in health and wellness and perspective in life and I appreciate what she

Many people regard their animals as children, especially those who do not have the non-furry kind. My husband and I are such a couple; carrying on about what one of the kitties just did, how cute they are, how they act or resemble one of their human parents and so on.The strange thing about this maternal and paternal relationship to an animal, is that it is inevitable that the parents out-live

Here is a new look at the words trapezius and its abbreviated version 'traps'.The trapezius- muscles are often referred to as 'traps'. This large pair of muscles are responsible for raising the shoulders, drawing the shoulders towards the midline, and pulling the shoulder blades down.Many people experience tension in

Last year I completed my Advanced Yoga Teacher Training for Yoga Alliance Certification at the 500 hour level. It was a wonderful two-year exploration with a terrific group of women.In the second year each of us was to present a project. The guidelines were broad- on purpose. We were to simply present a topic to the group that was fairly new to us and that would be something we would later use

Last Spring I began to expand my Yogic horizons by exploring new classes. I was attracted to Bikram Yoga first of all because it is a style of yoga and secondly, because it is done in a heated room- ahhh. I went a couple of times to a great studio called Bikram Yoga Bloomington in Minnesota. At that time I was in my second and last year of 500-hour yoga teacher training, so I was already

Today is Christmas day, and our family, like many others, spent the last couple of days in the presence of relatives. Those of us who celebrate the Christmas holiday (in the traditional way or not) would likely opt to take a chunk of the Christmas Spirit with us and revisit the happy, cozy feelings at any time in the coming year.I really enjoy seeing the family members that I only see on special
