Body weight exercises are principally pulling or pushing whereas sustaining correct kind.
The rope can also help you enhance your working speed by training your legs to decrease ground contact time, helping you be mild on your ft, and boosting stride frequency. Stringing Together Crosses As long as you're in a position to preserve a very good rhythm with the first and second jump (as well as the corresponding cross and uncross of the rope), you may be good to go.

As athletes progress of their heat up with the Kbands Velocity Bounce Rope they will begin to extend the pace and depth of their leap rope exercises. Swing the rope over your head and jump over it with both ft on each rotation. Plus, jump roping won't solely give the gamers an ideal cardiovascular workout, however it will additionally assist them to build the reflexive muscles and muscle power that they need to excel.
Once you finally get new shoes it is always astonishing how there's a sudden enhance in vertical bounce peak. Separate the rope as it's coming around, simply before you'd start swinging to the opposite side. Jump In Once you're comfortable with how the rope comes through, you'll be able to try to jump in. Leap the rope as soon as, however try to hold the rope going with facet swings proper after your leap.

Electric Handpieces
are basically two types of handpieces, air-driven and electric.
Electric handpieces are much stronger than air-driven due to the
fact that a motor is spinning the bur as opposed to air. This allows the doctor to remove decay

A good way to find out your fitness level is to get a submaximal graded exercise test. Submaximal graded exercise is any physical activity where the intensity or workload of a particular exercise is increased at a steady rate, but only works your body up to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate.
First, your blood pressure, weight, height and maximum heart rate are calculated. If a doctor is performing the test, she will place electrodes on various locations on your body to measure your heart rate during the test. If a certified trainer is performing the test, he will check your heart rate at regular intervals during the test. The two main exercise tests use the treadmill or stationary bike. Both pieces of equipment can be programmed for incremental load and speeds. The speed is set to a constant, but the incline or resistance is increased at regular intervals. The test ends when your heart rate reaches 85 percent of your maximum heart rate value, according to the 1989 YMCA Cycle Ergometer Submaximal Test.
The benefit of taking the test is finding out your exact fitness level. This information arms you to design exercise programs for general health or as a fitness prescription for any preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure. Your test results also provide a baseline for tracking and evaluating your future fitness levels. Knowing how fit you are also helps you to create reasonable fitness goals while reducing your risk of injury. The tests can be given to anyone at any fitness level without expensive costs. Doctors may also use the test as a tool to diagnose cardiovascular disease or other chronic illness.
The test results assess cardiovascular health and measure aerobic fitness. For the best results, a certified fitness professional or health professional should administer the test and interpret the results. Trained professionals can use the test information as a reference for future fitness evaluations and as a means for prescribing rehabilitative fitness programs.
Pretest preparations for a submaximal graded exercise test include not eating, smoking or drinking any alcohol at least three hours prior to testing. Wear comfortable clothing that is loose fitting and allows for airflow. Bring proper aerobic shoes for running or cycling. Make sure to drink plenty of water or other fluids 24 hours before the test to ensure that you are hydrated. Do not exercise the day of the test and get a good night's rest the night before. You may also need to bring your medical records and any medications you are taking.

Breast Cancer Reconstruction
Colorado's leading plastic surgeon can help you complete your breast cancer journey.
Dr. Denis Gonyon has helped countless women suffering from breast cancer with their breast cancer reconstruction.
Dr. Gonyon and our team of medical professionals are standing by to assist you.
Breast Cancer Reconstruction Details
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Denis Gonyon understands a breast cancer diagnosis can be devastating, but it is his mission to provide women with respect, care and compassion. He is honored to be able to offer breast reconstruction as an option and believes it is his responsibility to provide women with his cosmetic and reconstructive expertise. He is experienced in several techniques, including implant-based reconstruction and breast reconstruction using fat grafting.
"My heartfelt thanks goes out to Dr. Gonyon and team. When my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, we were overwhelmed with information, doctor visits, and life-changing decisions. Fighting breast cancer was our obvious #1 priority. We knew my wife's physical appearance would change for a period of time; but frankly I underestimated how important it was to start her on the cosmetic recovery path at the same time as everything else. I know each case if different, but for my wife the reconstruction has been one of the few positive activities during her surgeries and chemo treatment plan. Your valuable skills, quality of care, and encouraging words have helped restore her confidence. In the middle of many daunting experiences, the reconstruction process has provided her with a positive focus."
– D.S., Greeley, Colorado
With over 190,000 women being diagnosed with breast cancer every year, Congress has passed the Federal Woman's Health and Cancer Rights Act, which requires insurance to pay for certain breast reconstruction techniques. During your initial consultation, Dr. Gonyon will discuss all of your options with you, and help you determine what procedures insurance will cover to assist you in restoring symmetry and balance to your body. Please call (970) 624-7979 to schedule a complimentary consult at our Northern Colorado office.
Breast Implant Reconstruction
The size of your tumor will determine the amount of breast tissue that must be removed during your surgery. Dr. Gonyon has found, for women who have sufficient breast tissue, immediate breast implant reconstruction provides very good results. With breast implant reconstruction, a saline or silicone implant is placed, and remaining tissue is formed over the implant. This method is less invasive, and in many instances does not require muscle or tissue to be removed. In other breast reconstruction cases it may be necessary to use a temporary tissue expander to achieve the final result you desire.
Dr. Gonyon offers collagen grafts to improve the breast reconstruction procedure and results. With this option, a prepared collagen graft is used to support the breast implant, instead of altering your muscle. This provides a natural-feeling, well-supported breast with a minimum of modification to your chest wall. Recovery from collagen graft reconstruction is much faster than other methods, but may not be fully covered by some insurance companies.

Installing an Vesta, Athena or Melody Using an Under Sink Conversion Kit
This installation hides the ionizer undersink thus minimising the amount of exposed plumbing. A small disadvantage is that in order to alter the selected water pH, it is neccessary to gain access to the Melody unit itself as this cannot be altered above the counter via the tap.
Installation using with the kit is a quick DIY job, with fitment onto the cold water pipe and drilling a hole to mount the supplied tap into the counter requiring only the use of the Self Cutting Tap (see previous article for instructions) and a 38mm core bit.
Tools required:
* Plumbers wrench (for tightening the tap ino)
* Scissors or Stanley knife (for trimming the plastic water pipes)
* Philips 2 screwdriver (for fitting the self cutting tap)
* High speed drill (for providing a route for the cold water supply pipe)
* 38mm Core Drill Bit
* Hammer and punch (for accurately drilling the hole)
* Tape measure (to accurately position the hole)
(Note that in situations where the counter surface is made of granite and there is no easy routing option, this installation may not be possible without the use of specialist cutting techniques.)
1. Place the ionizer above the counter in the position in which you would like to use it. Note the location of the inlet of the ionizer in relation to the counter top and decide how best to route the 8mm inlet hose from the cold water supply pipe to the ionizer – mark the counter where the hole needs to go if required
2. Take the Mains Connection Fitting (also known as a Self Cutting Tap or Self Piercing Valve) and fasten it on a suitable part of the Cold water supply pipe.
3. Drill an 8mm in the counter in the position previously marked out
4. Check the routing to the ionizer – length of hose etc
5. Mount the tap onto the counter top
6. Attach the cold water inlet hose to the inlet fitting in the ionizer. Ensure this is securely fastened.
7. Wind in the tap on the Mains Connection Fitting until it is reasonably tight – without over tightening.
8. Wind the tap back out, again being careful not to over wind.

Good morning everyone,
As some of you will already know, about 5 weeks ago my dear Dad was diagnosed with last stage pancreatic cancer and given a few weeks to live, we were and still are all devastated and have all in our own way said goodbye and thank you to pop, and the past 5 weeks have been an amazing journey for us 4 children, Graham the Eldest, Me, my younger brother Scott and My dear sister who is the baby, Nikki and our partners as well as our children, and I am pretty sure it will be a stage in our life that we will all cherish forever and long after our dear dad and grandad has left us.
10 days ago whilst visiting my pop with my sister, she asked him a few things and the conversation got around to marriage, (Nikki was due to marry here seeetheart later this year) and my dear dad said, my last wish is to see you married and happy Nikki, I tried to interveen by saying "dad marriage is only a piece of paper" those of you that know me, know that I was telling a great big lie, marriage is so important to me and always has nbeen but I wanted my pop to feel good avbout Nikki when he passed. Anyway despite ,my amazing skills to lie "not" my day said, well I would be happier if you were married.
With that Nikki and Kev decided to get married 1 week later on Wednesday 23rd June 2010, and together we set about organising the wedding. Nikki and Kev decided to ask the vicar who was due to marry them later in the year and she kindly offered the church, they then booked a local pub with a barn attatched to entertain the 35 or so guests and I decided the best place for me was behind my Nikon. Well after a couple of days I asked Nikki and Kev how things were going and Nikki was telling me that nothing apart from the venue was sorted yet, to be honest we were all still in a state of shock, So, with Nikki and Kev's permission I rang around a few friends, I had a list of dress designers and florists and cars and I thiought I would battle through the list starting with my top favs and see who would do them teh best deal. Now I will do a complete seperate post to thank these people but I am crying again typing this but, the first person I called was Shay Harris who is a good friend and an amazing dress designer, within 30 seconds she offered Nikki a free dress as well as dress fitting on her wedding day, then without even having to call, Hampshires top Florist Natalie Gardener who is also one of my best friends called and offered to do all the flowers for free, I then called my friend Tony to ask could he do me a half decent car at a good price, he said no but you can have my best 1930's Rolls for free, needless to say I cried a lot that day too. we were also lucky enough to get our fav MUA Lindsey Snuggs to come along, As I said I will write a seperate blog post later to thank these guys but I am a bit emotional right now.
The Day…
On the day Sue and I went to see Nikki about 10am and spent a lovely couple of hours along with our good friend Lindsey Snuggs makeup artsist and had a great time, meanwhile my dad was being picked up by Angie in the Rolls and according to his parnter the whole street watched him being driven away looking like royalty which was so important to me, my dad deserves so much more but has so little time left and he has always loved nice cars.
Once my dad had safely arrived with Nikki, Sue and I drove to teh Church to meet Kev, Samual and Flynn, we had an amazing time shooting them as well as the guests arriving and once we had done that and the guest wandered into the church The beautiful Rolls slowly travveled down the church driveway which is when I saw my beautiful sister and my very proud dad looking at me out of the Rolls, I sat in the car with them for a very precious 5 minute just enjoying the moment but sadly could not go on, so we all walked into teh church full of hope for the future but full of sadness as well but despite all the sadness we had an amazing ceremony.
After the ceremony we had some amazing time outside the church all surounded by love and lots of admiration for my dear dad who did so well and I am so proud of him for that , none of us will ever forget this day Dad. After the family photos Sue and I went off with Nikki and Kev to visit a local spot for photos before heading off to the barn for a scrummy meal and a few well earned drinks, then came the part I was dreading, the speeches, fortunatly Kevs speech was short and very sweet and then Sam teh best man spoke very well and from teh heart, then Kev invited anybody else to say a few words which is when Nikki stood up to speak, so far so good………Then Flynn who is 9 years old decided to stand up, with tears rolling down his cheeks in front of 35 crying people he told Kevin just how much of an important part of there lives he had become and how much better Nikki's life had been with Kevin OMG this is a 9 year old.
Wow! anyway we then had a couple of hours outside drinking and chatiing when Sue said to Kev, shame we can do a first dance, (we were due to leave the pub at 7) so kev said, you play teh music and we will dance right here, so Sue asked there fav song, and of course it was Perfect Day which just happens to be on my iPhone, so I plugged it into teh Mini, blasted it up and played it, Kev casually walked into the middle of the gravel carpark, arm outstreched and asked his new wife to Dance. it was without doubt the most romantic first dance I have ever witnessed.
It was an honour to photograph my sisters wedding day and one taht will live with me forever,
Dad I love you and thank you for being my dad, we have had so much fun, Sue loves you and the kids both love you, you will leave us a much loved person x
Sorry for the long post but it all had to be said, please excuse any typo's I can barely see my screen.
Thanks to those that have helped me deal with my dad's illness I love you all dearly, and to my dear wife for putting up with all my crap at this time.

Partners for Ground-Water EducationRecent Teacher Workshops in Florida and California
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is partnering with the American Ground Water Trust (AGWT) to offer "Ground Water Institute for Teachers," a workshop that educates teachers about ground water and hydrology. The goal is to further the public's interest in and understanding of issues concerning water resources (see related Sound Waves article, "USGS and the American Ground Water Trust Expand Teacher Institute Program").
USGS scientists participate in these workshops by presenting their research, leading field trips, and providing educational materials. Teachers and educators learn about ground water's vital role in sustaining many aquatic ecosystems. Attendees also learn how to include the subject matter in their curriculum.
"Each workshop provides an increased understanding of ground-water-science concepts through a set of hands-on experiences that the teachers can take back to the classroomas reality checks and exciting touchstones for their students to enjoy above and beyond the printed word in the curriculum textbook," said Garret Graaskamp, a ground-water specialist at AGWT. "Many examples of the ground-water issues and concepts presented at the workshops can be used as platforms for real-life projects and assignments in English, civics, statistics, physics, chemistry, and biology courses."
A workshop was held June 9-10 in St. Petersburg, FL, and another June 13-14 in Fresno, CA. The St. Petersburg workshop included field trips to Withlacoochee State Forest, Wall Springs Park, and a cave. Basic information about wells, cave ecology, and sources of ground-water contamination in Florida were some of the topics discussed. The Fresno workshop included a field trip to some of Fresno's water facilities. Geology basics, California water problems, and new water-pump technologies were some of the issues covered.
Even before the formal partnership, the USGS participated in the workshops that AGWT has held since 2000. "The purpose of the partnership is to expand the outreach and enhance the synergy of the previously informal arrangement between the AGWT and the USGS," Graaskamp said. "The partnership creates increased recognition and opportunities among the professionals of each organization to bring forward and showcase ground-water-science concepts in exciting forums that teachers can use to stimulate the awareness of their students to the importance of understanding, protecting, and sustaining our water resources." An attendee at the St. Petersburg workshop gave an example of how the partnership benefits teachers. "I have always felt that ground water is important. Now I feel I have the cool facts that will make students remember why it is important," said Jessica Frankovitch, an environmental science teacher from Florida's Crystal Springs Preserve.
One of the main goals of USGS involvement is to get USGS resources, science issues, and findings to the public. "Teachers are the best link to the public in terms of ground-water awareness," said Ann Tihansky, USGS hydrologist. Teachers attending the workshops receive a science message and a package of USGS materials that are consistent across the Nation. "The partnership is also a way to link teachers to all USGS resources, not just ground water," Tihansky said. Long-term goals are to hold these workshops in every State, to create a teacher network, and to obtain feedback from educators about what they need and what kinds of materials and formats they find most effective.
Workshop topics range from general hydrology in a specific region to technical analysis of ground-water flow and applications of geophysics in ground-water studies. Commonly, local ground-water issues are incorporated into the program. "Ground water is an out-of-sight, out-of-mind kind of resource, so no one thinks about it. But it's a critical resource," Tihansky said.
Along with the Ground Water Institute for Teachers, the American Ground Water Trust sponsors several technical programs aimed at raising public awareness of ground-water issues and sharing expertise among ground-water professionals. These programs include:
The AGWT also has hosted four separate conferences on Aquifer Storage and Recovery and is currently planning its fifth, ASR-5, to be held in Tampa, FL, in fall 2005. Since 2000, more than 30 USGS scientists nationwide have contributed to the AGWT's programs, sharing their expertise and familiarity with local ground-water topics. More than 20 USGS scientists have participated in the teacher institutes nationwide.

Hey Guys,
How are ya'all doing?
I have been really busy these days. Even forgot about the usual Diwali post this year. Hope you guys had great fun. I had a pretty good time myself with the UT diwali group. Got to eat some good Indian food on Diwali night.
Ok, this is a quick post to mark one of these little things that make us smile. I haven't gotten to listen to a lot of tamil songs these days. But, happened to listen to this and got hooked on ever since. Playing in an infinite loop these days. This almost beats our "O Vennila" from Kadal desam.
"Sara Sara" from Vaagai Soda! - Lovely!

The week!!0 comments Posted by Vinodh at 2:14 PM
Last week was eazily the bussiest week ever. Juggled multiple assignments, missed sleep for days and finally ..... my robot did not even win the penalty shoot out competition.
I guess the work itself, is the reward!
Reminded me of my undergrad days, where we slogged for 2 months on a robot design, went all the way to Mumbai (unfunded) and came back with empty hands!!
Oh life, you and your ways!!

Hey Guys,
Hope you are doing great!
This is a customary post to mark my birthday, last friday. This is when I try to look at the year gone by and my plans for the future. And, thank you all for the wonderful wishes. Had a great day.
Can't believe I'm 28 already. I was thinking about all the other paths, my life could have taken. The possibilities seem unbounded. We only to live a tiny slice of the range of possibilities.
I think, it finally comes down to the choices that we make and in a way, people we meet.
Read a quote somewhere - "Who you'll be in 5 years depends on people you meet and books you read!!", I guess, I'm in pretty good hands!

The magic of Memory0 comments Posted by Vinodh at 2:53 PM
Or the lack of it!!!
This is a short stub of an epiphany, that I had in a morning waiting for the School shuttle.
How amazing is Memory! Of course, I'm talking about our memory. In the brain(may be).
The concept of content addressability is so awesome. - I can sing a really old song, from somewhere in the middle, with incorrect lyrics. and very likely you'd recognize. This is so darn expensive (computationally). Ask Google - how it would love to have CAM.
We often forget an even more bizarre phenomenon - Forgetting itself.
How painful would it be, if we remembered, every single fight that we ever had? Some how we've evolved to forget the unpleasant things, in the same time remember the important ones.
Just knowing that, it wouldn't matter as much tomorrow, helps.

- Research is going well too. Started a Fun project to generate puns/jokes automatically. Will kill you guys with my auto PJs sometime.
Now, coming back to the title,
There are days when I struggle.. in such pressure.. when I need some support, some pillar to lean on. Times when I long for a good friend, to share and discuss.
I had such a bad week a while ago and was really looking for a break...
And then, on a friday, I got an email from a friend, inviting me to a AOL satsang for Guru Poornima.
Like any other invitation, I didn't RSVP.
Then, later in the same afternoon I landed on a random webpage, with a PDF - DiaryofaDisciple, an everyday journal of a disciple of Swami Vivekananda. It was a eazy, light, happy read and he went on and on about how a Guru knows his followers and gives them what they want. He says, one needn't even ask. Just wanting is enough!
Then, it struck. I realized the Calling!!!
I had to change plans for the evening and made sure I was there. Helpful friends gave me a ride to the place far far away. And well.... I got my questions answered. (kinda)
I have this knack of meeting some really amazing people in the most unusual circumstances. The good evening, turned greater awesome when a gentleman, offered a ride home. Ah, the simple things that we discussed in the car.. well, some things are better left unsaid.
Life has its own way of sorting things out!!

Love, Laugh, Learn and Let go..6 comments Posted by Vinodh at 4:00 PM
If you want a quickie of what last-week's AOL Yesplus workshop was about, the title says it all.
The longer version is..
I took the course because, couple of folks, who I highly respect have been recommending this for a while and boy, am I glad that I did?? I had the most awesome time with some of the coolest people I've ever met.
This would probably be the only "spiritual" course, where you run around trees in the parking lot, dance crazy steps and do impromptu skits. I still wonder how it was possible, to make such a serious course, so much fun. It was a good blend of great breathing techniques, the famed SudarshanKriya and some freakish games.
What I liked most is the philosophy of simplicity itself. I tend to clutter myself with a lot of stale stuff. The forgotten saying - 'forgive and forget' restated:: Life is so short to carry around all the emotional baggage. Shed the weight. Travel light. Simplify life! - good concept, I should try.
The course was pretty deep with pranayamas, kriyas and meditation. But, if you just wanna nibble at the surface, you can takeaway a simple view:: Be happy - no matter what! Keep your mind at peace, at any cost! (Does this seem selfish? May be ..)
The homeworks were eye opening too: Make 3 new friends a day, do a nice thing to your parents. I was kinda surprised to see, how friendly strangers are and how even small actions can make someone's day.
On the whole, I got to reflect on myself and the workshop was hugely helpful in calming me down and I learnt some cool breathing techniques.
Until nexttime, be intensely happy

Hello again.0 comments Posted by Vinodh at 7:49 PM
Oh well,
Long time indeed. How are you all doing?
From my end...
The crazy semester finally ended. Getting back to academia after 5 long years was not as eazy as I thought. The Industry had 'spoilt' me. But, I shouldn't complain. I had my share of fun in Bangalore. I should have expected this and made room for the initial ramp-up. Once I got into the groove, things started rolling. At the end, things got better and sem went Ok. And one of my papers got accepted to an IEEE conf (this will be my 2nd pub).
The good news is - there is a big tamil gang in UT and the bad news is most of them are like 4 yrs younger. It took a while to stop them from calling me - 'vaanga-ponga'. But still fun gang.
Summer break now. No big plans. Will be on campus doing stuff and taking a minor course in psychology.
And btw, I've registered for Art of Living course this week and looking forward to it.. all excited.
as always, be your super-self

Hello folks,
Greetings from Austin!!
I've reached Austin and settling in well. Moved in to an apt close to the campus, got a Phone, bought an old bike for commute, registered for courses... and the classes start tomorrow.
2011 has been awesome so far. On new year's day, I got a complimentary upgrade to business class, thanks to BA. :)
Austin has been very kind. - Apt hunting was ok. not tough; Weather is cold, but not severe.
Life is good in general - Making new friends, learning new things, cooking new stuff.
All is well here, except that I miss my morning Filter coffee and Masala dosa.
Until nexttime,
Be awesome,

Physical 'abnormality' – One leg shorter than the other following a motor bike accident many years previously causing pelvic imbalance and subsequently spinal degeneration.
"I've always put the pain down to a road traffic accident I had about 27 years ago and since that time I've had to take painkillers virtually every day. The accident left me with one leg more than ½ an inch shorter than the other and this is what I thought had to be the reason for my back pain, and my GP was of the same mind.
Every year for the past 20 years I've had to take at least 3 or 4weeks off work because of the pain, and every morning I had to exercise just to be able to get moving. I also had to keep a lumbar belt near me because I couldn't lift anything without wearing it.
For the 5 years before my recovery I had been seeing an Osteopath once a month, but the relief only lasted 2 or 3 days and then the pain would start again, slowly but surely.
I now have no problems with my back and I haven't taken any painkillers or seen my Osteopath for 3 years. Confronting the emotional and not just the physical side of my problems has left me pain free and a lot calmer."
N.B. 4 years later and Jimmy remains fit and well. He brought a friend for treatment last Summer and mentioned that he had moved over 350 tables and chairs on his own in the school he works in as a caretaker and had no problems whatsoever. Soon after he recovered he threw away his back belt and all his other 'crutches'.

Twitter Adds Tool for Sharing Photos
Twitter is trying to fit a thousand words into its 140-character tweets.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco microblogging company unveiled a service that allows users to publish photos using its website and mobile applications.
The idea, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said, is to simplify photo publishing and photo search.
"We want to remove the friction from adding photos to tweets," Mr. Costolo said during at The Wall Street Journal's "D9: All Things Digital" conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
The new service comes as Twitter expands its product offerings as part of an effort to broaden its appeal to Internet users who use social networking sites, such as Facebook. Recently, it has developed its own versions of key tools like mobile apps — or purchased companies and officially rebranded the product. Photo sharing is another step in that direction.

Texans sign receiver Bryant Johnson
The Texans have agreed to a contract with veteran receiver Bryant Johnson.
After practice Monday, Johnson worked out for the team's pro personnel people and impressed them enough to get an offer.
The coaches have been disappointed that no receiver has stepped up in camp and preseason to claim the fourth and fifth spots behind Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones.
The Texans will announce their roster moves on Tuesday. They have to be down from 90 to 80.
Receiver Devard Darling, who suffered a knee injury, is going to be released after he works out an injury settlement.
Johnson (6-3, 216) is 30 and a former No. 1 pick by Arizona in 2003. He played his first five seasons with the Cardinals, one with San Francisco and the last two with Detroit.

Imagining March:: A Month Map
Hooray for March! I think this month perhaps receives more adulation than it is due just because we are released from the grip of January and February. Even with bad weather this month we know we can at least say, "It won't be long now!" Spring is just around the corner.
It's no secret around here that I like setting goals. But I haven't always been one to set weekly or monthly goals. I'm actually trying to do more of that this year. I haven't made THAT a goal, but it's just something that I'm trying out as I go.
Inspired by Kimberly Wilson, I have begun making self-care lists in my journal/planner for every week. I have a regular list of to-do's for my life as do all of you, I am sure. Most of those to-do's are things I need to do for people other than just myself, from getting groceries to turning in school assignments. I always get those done. I am accountable. But, I have found, writing a list of little things to do for myself throughout the week helps me be accountable to me for some TLC or as I like to refer to it a la Parks and Recreation, my "Treat Yo Self" list.
I have other personal things I do, like working out, but that is more maintenance and work. I'm talking about the things that keep life interesting and sweet. So, every week I have a list with these:
New Recipe
Hot Bath
Fresh Flowers
Artist's Date (a la Julia Cameron)
Pen a Love Note (a la Kimberly Wilson)
Read for Inspiration
I may not check everything off that list, but it is a nice reminder to give it a try. I hope I get at least one week out of the year where I accomplish ALL these things! That will be a good week!
For March, I wrote down a few things I'd like to try to do this month too:
~ Continue to press hard with my Spanish studies
Spanish is all on my own time; I am not taking a class for this, so it's easy to let it slide. It's hard when it feels like you are only making incremental improvements, but I am not going to give up. I have wanted to speak with more fluency for too many years. I'm not going to get there without real work.
~ Plan our summer trip to Washington D.C./New York City
Spring break is next week. I am going to be making some more detailed plans for our trip!
~ Write at least one letter
I continue in solidarity with the U.S. Postal System. :) My weekly love note (listed above) is just that: a note. It could be a card in the mail, an encouraging text, or friendly email. I prefer it to be pen and paper, but if I run out of time, I'll use digital means. But I also like to write longer letters to friends and I hope to do that this month - perhaps another spring break activity.
In thinking about letters, though, I have decided that my definition of "long" letter is shrinking. I find that I have given up on hand-written correspondence when I try to make my letters too long. The task becomes too daunting and though I like it, it is something I find I need to make too much space in my day for. When letters were the primary means of long-distance communication, they were shorter. Of course, people wrote more often back then too. But I feel like that is the way to go for me. I don't need to try to bring someone up-to-date on everything happening in my life. I just want to have a small conversation and just open a window between my world and theirs. I hope this will help me do more of this thing that I enjoy so much.
~ Attend 50th B'day Celebration Bash for my brother-in-law
~ Take advantage of a few new opportunities for connections at church
~ Date Night We don't have anything on the calendar yet, but I plan to remedy that this week!
Goodness, it already seems crowded!
Do you have any interesting plans for this month in which glorious spring arrives? It feels very festive, doesn't it?

Blue Frog Therapies with Ben Taylor as owner and practitioner. His objective was to create nourishing, restorative and deeply valuable treatments that focus on the whole person.
The story began during Bens' adventures. Whether it was during his practice of Chi Kung in a peace resort in New Zealand, his experience of living in the Caribbean, volunteering in Africa, in retreat in temples in Asia, train-hopping across the USA or meditating on the beaches of Australia, Ben encouraged his own mindfulness, observed and immersed himself into culture and absorbed and composed what he considered to be most important to health and well-being. Ben followed Buddhism for five years as a member of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order, has been a carnivore, vegan and vegetarian at times and continues to meditate daily, retreat yearly and adventure when he can.
You will find Blue Frog Therapies in the Breathe treatment rooms at Millers yard. Nestled in the middle of York, yet hidden from the city-centre bustle, it's a sanctuary during the day, evenings, and weekends. With Ben's more than 10 years' experience, you can be assured and confident of your comfort.
A carefully warmed room and oils. A thick fleece layer under brushed cotton sheets. Time to consider and to tailor your session. With your comfort assured and Bens attentive and mindful nature you can be confident you will be taken care of. Complement your session as you wish, making a massage more relaxing or concentrate on aches and knots. Make your meditation calmer or more focused. Draw attention where it is needed.
There is ample parking close at hand and Millers yard has a cafe, dance studio and meeting rooms.
Choose a treatment, combine different therapies together or keep an open mind as Ben will offer you time before the session begins to discuss and consider all your options. This will not reduce your treatment time.
There's more on Ben below….

"Pretty in Pink"
oil on panel
So nice to paint with a colorful palette. The gray Winter months get long but the sunsets have not disappointed.
Not sure if I am done with this one yet. Sometimes you just have to walk away and go back later and look at it with fresh eyes.
