2008 is going to be Great!

That is our family's new motto. Our entire family has been going through so many health issues. I am a RN with chronic pain issues. This offers me a distraction. So, if I find products that work: I offer them in my store!

This year is about Family Health -->Relaxation, Caring for Self, Fun time together (Wii and Xbox take care of that one), and providing tools to help with our personal and family wellness goals.

We have struggled with cancers, spinal injuries, spinal surgeries, radical cancer and radiation treatments, chronic pain, teens with anxiety, cardiac issues.

In the process, I have developed my own lab with many tools for all these conditions. I have on my site a designated place to ask questions regarding various health problems and issues.

Preventative Health is vital to attain and maintain to its fullest capacity. I provide tools to target your goals: Make short-term goals for yourself and your family. Journal your results, develop a buddy system to start and maintain your fitness goals.

Ipods are a necessity if you go to the gym or walk, run! Accessories are available to attach them to your arm and forget about them. Music and Humor are great daily necessities to lift the spirit.

Relaxation tools are a MUST! Stress is one of the biggest pre-cursers for any illness. It weakens your defense system. So, keep it strong with a healthy diet full of natural foods. Implement small changes but make sure they last. Hydration is a big one that is not addressed enough. Stay hydrated with water. The more water you drink, the less crap you drink. Also, make sure it is pure water.

I have a lab full of essential oils that I have found to be instrumental in temporary relief that eventually leads to healthier results and accelerates healing.

Finally, play with your family. Grab those teens or buy and play Wii or XBox with them. You have to catch the time on their terms, usually, as they get older.

Humor Every Day! Our family would and still does : sends humourous emails ...every day....to uplift the spirit! We have tried to maintain that regularly. Find ways to get those endorphins working for you in a positive way!
