Homeopathy for Menopause
Not that I’m in menopause yet (well, sometimes I feel 10 years older than I really am), but when I owned a day spa, I knew lots of clients who underwent hysterectomies and hormone replacement therapy that turned out to be unnecessary and more harmful than helpful. After talking to my favorite homeopath, Lisette Narragon, I learned that Homeopathy actually is a safe way to alleviate the symptoms of menopause, without using potentially harmful drugs. So, I asked her to come to Preston Wynne Spa and teach a class on this, and she said, “YES!” It’s queued up for April … Continue reading
The best feeling in the world.

This guy sits around and thinks about how to make raw foods taste good, and the recipes he comes up with are amazingly delicious. Before this class, I had watched a former employee of mine lose a ton of weight … Continue reading
Finally thought of something I can do for Japan.
A friend of a friend of a friend hand-makes letterpress cards, and she designed a special edition featuring a thousand cranes to help raise money for Japan. She is selling these for $10, and 100% of her sales will be donated to the American Red Cross to help victims of the Japanese quake and tsunami. I was so touched when I saw this that I asked myself, “Is there anything I can do to help our neighbors in Japan, too?” And the first answer that came back (invariably, it’s always my Voice of Judgment – the VoJ) was, “No. What … Continue reading
