November newsletter -- join us for our Health & Gift Fest, plus more!

Join us for our Health & Gift Fest on Saturday!

We've been having a lot of fun putting together Saturday's Fall Health & Gift Fest.

It's  10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lake House Health & Learning Center, and it's definitely not your ordinary holiday fair. We've assembled artisans, chefs, writers, health professionals and others with beautiful jewelry, hats, purses, photographs, eco-journals and much more.

Find the whole list of artisans and events, plus pictures, here. And join us -- no admission, just a donation of non-perishable food for the Racine County Food Bank. You'll find us at 932 Lake Ave., just across from Gateway Technical College in Racine.

How to make a meaningful holiday?

Every year I ask myself, "What would make a meaningful holiday for me?" And I ask my clients. And I ask anyone else, too.

The more answers I get, the more thoughtful I can become about creating a good and positive holiday for myself.

Meaning is the antidote to chaos, worry, exhaustion and panic. Here are my thoughts for 2010 as we more toward the holidays.

You ARE worth the time.

I just discovered the work of Jan Philllips and her video, "You Are Worth The Time," and I am completely, completely charmed.

You can get a free download of "The Art of Original Thinking" here

She says, "The act of creating is a healing gesture." I like that. I also like this video with lots of food for thought. Enjoy!
