Better than Black Friday Health Tips new on the blog.

Wishing you a healthy happy holiday season.
Health grows like wealth and it’s not something to bargain with. It’s an investment in our most important asset and the return is vitality and longevity. The holidays may have you in a bargain mindset, but remember to keep investing time and money into wellness.

Consider including one or more of these health tips this holiday season.

1. Sleep on a good pillow. If a pillow is more than 2 or 3 years old its time for a new one. Pillows, like shoes, break down over time. 6-8 hours of daily use adds up. Necks have different degrees of flexibility and a pillow must fit accordingly. Some necks are too delicate or stiff for severe orthopedic corrective pillows and some pillows are too flat and only worsen neck problems. If the pillows you’ve tried haven’t worked it might be time to match the pillow with your neck and neck x-ray and learn about what unique pillow structure is best for you. I often suggest the Jackson roll because it fits nicely between the shoulder and head for side sleeping and is a helpful in restoring curves when back sleeping. I also like water pillows. Both products are available at the office, but I have linked them as well.

Yoga for Hunters at Sheep Show 2025 in Reno is in the books. What a privilege to share yoga and talk about hunting at the same time.

Always hunting, seeking, being aware in body and mind. We did yoga with the principals of scout, hunt, harvest. Metaphors in motion.

Already looking forward to teaching my next class.

Anyone with a pen can join this group. We write for all kinds of reasons. Most write for the pleasure of writing, others are working on projects. Many are business women working on blogs, books, websites, classes, even social posts and journals. We write to prompts, discuss the craft of writing and we share in the process.

I love facilitating this group. Sometimes it's one person and often its a group of willing, curious and interesting writers. The stories and messy, off the cuff paragraphs, are fun to write but even more fun to hear. Not everything has to be brilliant. We learn to appreciate the process and how to cultivate ideas. We learn so much from each other. It's subtle. It's an experience as much as a "class."

If you are interested and would like to join me in writing. Here's the November schedule. I can even give you a link to try a session for free to see what we offer. PM for more info.
