Hello everyone!
As you can see, I have been very busy with this blog!! My blogrolls are now on a separate page! At the linkbar, click "Do Right Blogroll" and go to town! I have to thank MommyDoodles for providing the insight for this to happen. Now I can give you more or what you're looking for - the path to health and happiness - without me having to worry about how many blogs I can fill a page with! No more distractions!
Ok...so, where to begin...ah yes, with my regularly scheduled routine!
Went to both jobs on Thursday & Friday. Both days were an arduous task because I had to get juices for LT46's next phase of our Legacy Project. I had to go to both jobs and then lug @ least 4 huge bottles home! Gotta love NYC...cabs are everywhere and for some reason, the fares were pretty decent (considering).
I know all of my new viewers are wondering, "what is LT46? Legacy Project? What's that?"
I created a post in Oct 2008 explaining the Legacy Project that I share with my Leadership Team from Momentum Education, LT46. Click here for that post. Now we have gone into "Phase IIa," by showing a movie at the shelter we raised money for. Here is a picture of the flyer that was put up at the Shelter:
It was a great event! About 70 people - men, women and children - attended. They all enjoyed the movie as well as the pizza and beverages we provided. I got the beverages, which consisted of apple juice, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and pear juices and water- all organic, of course.
I got 3 large apple juices, 7 bottles of the other juices and 3 one gallon bottles of water. I made a conscious choice to buy these kinds of juices to see if there would be a difference to their behavior (in comparison to drinking soda or juices with a lot of processed sugar in it). I am very happy to say that the crowd was very plesant and patient and kind. Even the children were relatively calm (I loved to hear the children give ask their parents where the juice came from!) and there were moments of virtual silence during certain parts of the movie. I'm not going to attribute all of this to drinking organic but I KNOW that if I had offered soda, it would have been a madhouse at that Shelter.
What made the event even more special was twofold. First, Liz Murray came to speak to the guests and I'm sure it was great (unfortunately, I had to go to work so I had to leave early). I know Liz personally and she's an amazing lady. If you would like to meet her for yourself, check this out:

The other thing that made the event amazing was seeing my family. You see, my brother and his family live in a shelter. It was an amazing coinky dink that the shelter LT46 chose to support was the same shelter that my brother and his family are in! I got to see my neices and nephew and it was so great! Right before I left, I explained to one of my friends that my brother and his family will have to stay in the shelther a little longer due to unforseen circumstances. Well, I must say that today, my sister-in-law had a healthy baby boy and right after I spoke to my friend, I called my brother and he said they would be out of the shelter very soon!!
The next day, I taught two Yoga classes - one private and one at IYI. On Monday, I taught another Yoga class.
Before this weekend, I wrote up a post on the Uterus Diaglogues on Yoga and Fibroids. It was a general post and I will write something more specific really soon. If you would like to read my post, please click here. If you are affected by Uterine Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts, I ask that you become a member of this site and share their experiences, past, present and future. Sharing is caring. My friend and fellow IIN graduate, Simone Turner is also a part of this network. She is a Holistic Health Counselor that also specializes in Women's Issues, more specifically fibroids. Tell her that "Drea from IIN" sent you!
Well, that's it...for not. I have a lot of catching up to you and I must admit, I'm becoming addicted to twitter. Hello My Twitter Friends!!
Enjoy your night. Until the next time...stay strong, stay healthy, and fight dis-ease!
