CALM KIDS, RESILIENT FAMILIES by Alisa Farr

Spending the last 8 years of my life deep diving into restoring my own body, mind and spirit into balance, I have witnessed the huge benefit not just for myself, but the benefit it has had for my kids and family. While offering them bits and pieces of my practice in order to help them manage their own stresses, I began to realize that there was a need to be filled in offering them their own practice in a simple and easy way.

As a mom of 4 + 2 kids, I know firsthand, how important it is to equip our kids and families with these time honoured wisdoms and techniques, in conjunction with science based research.

Do you have any of the following?

SPOTLIGHT – Sofia Simeonidis by Tom Kernaghan

Image

“Together we are strong,” “be a helping hand,” and “never lose hope” may not be the sort of words one usually associates with a customer loyalty program, or its operator. But then, Sofia Simeonidis isn’t like most people I’ve met. Her focus, after all, is on our happiness and our financial well-being.

Sofia is an Independent Lyconet Merchant Marketer, which is affiliated with myWorld, a vast network connecting businesses to customers who can earn cashback and use interchangeable loyalty points wherever they shop. It’s about everyone getting the most out of the shopping experience — on both sides of the ‘register’. The program is powerful, but it’s Sofia’s warm personality that really shines as she extols the benefits of living well and shopping smartly.

Sofia served as a treasurer and bookkeeper for the ISCO (Intercultural Society of Central Okanagan), the Kelowna chapter of Toastmasters, and the parental advisory of her children’s school. Her sunny nature is matched by her ability and determination. In the words of one of her local clients, “Sofia displays a level of creativity, wit, and analytical thought unmatched by most. Her research skills are phenomenal, and when Sofia is on task, nothing will stop her from reaching her goal.” Socially, many will know Sofia from her online trail-walk videos, which she begins joyously: “Good morning, world!”

SPOTLIGHT – Debra Kelly by Tom Kernaghan

Debra with Flora Farm hearts

Debra Kelly — Storyteller & Motivator

“We’ll figure something out.”

We say these words all the time, but when Debra Kelly said them at the end of our first chat, to schedule our second one, I sensed they flowed from a hard-earned knowingness that runs deep beneath her friendly and confident demeanour.

Debra is a storyteller, speaker, and real estate agent who lives here in the Okanagan and in Cabo San Lucas. I can say I’ve never met a person in whom the seemingly disparate aspects of life seem so well integrated into a way of living. Now, that is. Back in 1993, Debra’s purpose, passion, and pleasures had yet to blossom from the soil of pain, fear, and darkness she found herself pushing through as a single mother and expat in Mexico. Her money was dwindling, her hope was flagging, and her determination was screaming — but her aim (especially for killing scorpions) was improving.

She has a kick-ass memoir for you to read. Having just finished Wait a Year, an Amazon international best seller, I can see where Debra’s confidence comes from: damn, she’s been through it! As a fellow storyteller who loves a cracking good tale about life’s trials, travails, and triumphs, especially one with dark humour, I can say this book will delight you, move you, and leave you wanting more. And I can see how Debra’s story will motivate others to find their voices, set healthy boundaries, and design a better lives for themselves.

Using the Mind & Body’s Natural Abilities to Bring Balance by Daneaya Ziolkoski & Carla VanVoorst

With all of the craziness that has been happening in our world in the last year and a half, maintaining a healthy immune system is key for all of us. As I’m sure you know, there is an option to receive an injection, and with that comes the potential for side effects.

I’m not here to debate this with you, but instead I am here to offer a solution for those that may be experiencing unwanted side effects.

As with all pharmaceuticals, there is the possibility of unpleasant side effects such as pain, redness, swelling at the injection site, fatigue, upset belly, headaches, chill, fever, and other, more severe reactions. These reactions are your body’s way of dealing with something foreign.

When a body has been under stress for a long period of time or there are other health issues present, these side effects can become much more serious.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why I am talking about this, here, and what that has to do with energy medicine. And those are very good wonderings!

Are you in it to win it? by Aly Pain

Image

“I don’t want to do it your way!”

“Just because you didn’t grow up with (fill in the blank) doesn’t make it wrong!”

“Why can’t you just love me for who I am?”

Insert your whatever else your throws out that has your body tense and prepare for what’s coming next.

Arguing helps your teen develop critical thinking/analysis, strategic thought, independent thoughts and beliefs as their brain is densifying to handle more complex computing. Their emotional brains are more raw and sensitive until early adulthood when the densification is complete.

Even if you knew that, it’s REALLY HARD not to get hooked by your own fight or flight response that quickly puts you in the offense, or defense, whichever feels more powerful.

5 Key to Living Your True Potential

Image

I came across a quote today by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich that stated this “Well behaved women seldom make history” and it got me thinking of the all women I look up to in the media as well as in my own life.

All the women that I admire did not get there by playing it safe; they took risks, asked for what they wanted, they did not wait in the side lines for an invitation, they weren’t afraid to say “no” to what is not serving them and “yes” to their dreams, and most importantly they were not afraid of ruffling a few feathers along the way because it meant that they were honoring themselves. I mean, even Oprah has probably pissed off a few people and that woman is practically a freaking saint!

I’m not saying that you need to become a complete badass by leaving your family for some guy named Rick that rides a Harley or start partying like you’re 20 years old again but it’s time you say goodbye to the “good girl” persona. The woman in you that knows you are playing small is screaming at you to let it go, she is begging you to start living up to your true potential!

Not Just My Opinion by Courtney Kafka

It has been a while since I last wrote an article. Things have been all over the place for me as of late, so I apologize.

The sun is at last shinning in the city I now call home and has inspired me to step out of my subject writing and provide you with outside sources of information about Bowen Therapy.

I am of course a huge believer in it. But then again I’m biased and I know it. So I went digging for some other research on the effectiveness of Bowen Therapy, or Bowen Technique. In the hope I could find something that was more based off some actual research.

Here it goes:
