In this months Namaste newsletter Deepak Chopra writes a letter about giving. It resonated something within me because I'm dealing and have been dealing with this area of my life for some time now. But, do you know that the very things in your life that you find hard to do is all about fear? The fear of the unknown the fear of the what if's. If you are like me and have a challenge in this area I hope this letter moves you like it did for me to do something about it. The first step to change is to be willing to acknowledge that there needs to be a change. Be Blessed... A Letter From Deepak It has become a truism that to receive love, we must give it. Giving engenders receiving, and receiving engenders giving. The reciprocal action keeps the flow of love alive. Without it, love would stagnate. For so many of us, however, learning to give is extremely difficult. It runs counter to some deep conditioning that we all carry around inside. We may fear that if we give, we will have...

Joshy is doing a whole lot better and so is TT. Our visit with the holistic pediatrician was wonderful. It was surprising to find out that she not only cares for children but she's licensed to care for adults as well. I made appointments for the rest of us this week. The remedies that she prescribed have been working well and as time passes on I am slowly seeing my children come back to life. Life is exactly what holistic remedies give to us; they don't take away from us. The fevers are gone, the coughing is going away and the congestion is becoming less and less bothersome. They are getting better without us using the usual Tylenol, Motrin and cough syrups so commonly used by so many. All of this without exposing my children to harmful side effects caused by using these commonly used drugs, there is another way. Our time spent in the emergency room was long and tiring. They treated Joshy with an hour breathing treatment followed by a dose of oral steroid which his body rej...

This morning I’m getting ready to take my 23 month old to see a holistic pediatrician. The night before last we found ourselves in the emergency room, again. Since we’ve moved my whole family has been battling cold like symptoms. I thought we were better when out of nowhere (at least that’s what I thought) my 4 year old (TT) started coughing up a lung (at least that’s what it sounded like) just the other day. And then a day later she started running a fever. The bug was back with a vengeance. Fortunately for us 2 weekends ago we visited a holistic ob/gyn who also offered care for entire families, so I knew exactly who I was going to call. After speaking with her, one of her recommendations was to treat my entire family because if you treat one it’s more than likely they will get it again because the other members of the family haven’t been treated. I wish that I was in the position to do that but it’s not cheap so my focus was on getting TT well and than find a way to provide the ca...

It's so good to know that when life has you busy and kept away from the world of blogging that you're not forgotten and your friends reach out and touch. Thanks guys for checking in on me, it's been rough but in a good way. I've been pressed, squeezed and challenged to grow on so many levels lately that when I look in the mirror I sometimes don't recognize the woman looking back but I'm determined to finding out. Change is good! A few weeks ago I got to visit Urbanbella for a consultation and purchase some of their wonderful products for natural and transitioning hair. Before I got there I was up in a bunch on what to do with my hair. I started becoming very impatient with wearing headbands. The stylist I had the pleasure of consulting with showed me different ways to style my transitioning hair and recommended the best products for me. Mind you, during a consultation you are only being showed on half of your head different styling techniques not actually gi...

Lately I’ve been on the run and if you catch me I’m sporting my mommy of five tote bag and tee. Lucky Me Tee designs apparel and accessories specifically for moms and kids. From long sleeved t-shirts to tank tops, hoodies and tote bags . Having a durable bag to carry the needs of kids is important to moms. For me I’m usually packing things like school assignments, snacks, pampers, wipes, sippy cups and my own personal things so the bag that I carry has to be able to hold all of that and then some. It’s wide enough, has an inside pocket flap and outside pocket with velcro closure and the straps don’t hurt my shoulders (which is a plus). The inside is lined to which helps for easy cleaning and those unexpected yet expected spills. The tanks are perfect for the hotter months and now that it's getting cooler the long sleeve tee's and hoodies would be perfect to wear to flaunt the number of kids you have. Lucky Me Tee also offers baby tee's so that you could dress your little ...
