The aim of this week’s newsletter is to remind us to see the goodness in everything.
FYI – We have the answers!
High 5’s to All!
Take a few minutes out of your busy life to watch this inspiring teacher at work. His students are all special needs and see how he reaches them and helps to uplift and inspire them. The results are quite remarkable. If only we would all remember to tell children and others what they do ‘right’ and not what they do ‘wrong’ how different the world would be.

Healthy Food for All!
We could take a ‘leaf’ out of their book….
A homeless shelter in Atlanta decided that their residents desperately needed access to healthy food—but instead of sourcing out, encouraged residents to grow their own.
Organic vegetables and community gardens are typically associated with well-meaning, tote bag-carrying, volunteer at the Coop (and never miss a shift) types. But good, local, nutritious food shouldn’t be expensive, and shouldn’t only be enjoyed by people who can afford it. A homeless shelter in Atlanta decided that their residents desperately needed access to healthy food—but instead of sourcing out, encouraged residents to grow their own. Now, the shelter is home to a huge rooftop garden planted by the residents themselves, which is expected to yield hundreds of pounds of great quality greens.

Wendy Rose-Williams
Journey With Us For An Evening of Bliss
Wendy Rose Williams started her comprehensive journey into natural therapies in 1983. Although traditional forms of Bodywork and Massage were the main focus of Wendy’s career in Natural Therapies, in 2010, she graduated from Nature Care College in NSW with a MeditationFacilitator’s Certificate, and through this time-honoured discipline, her long-term interests in the mind/body connection to health, vibrational energies, and sound, have lead her to further studies and a new European qualification in the modern healing art of Sound Massage (PHI) – a practice of creating Sound Resonance with therapeutic Tibetan Singing Bowls, based on ancient knowledge,wisdom, and practices from the cultures of India, Nepal and Tibet.Since then, Wendy has combined her love and interests of both Meditation and Sound Healing into her own intuitive practice of Tibetan “Sound Meditation” which continues to motivate and inspire her to new paradigms, including present studies towards Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator certification.
The essence of Wendy’s life-long learning, work and ambition has always been to honour, assist, and empower the body/mind/spirit to maintain and heal itself!
Wendy’s motto: Life is a gift, First meditate on it, then breathe!

Thought Of The Week

HEALTH TIP – CELERY
It is wonderful to find that by eating an everyday garden vegetable you are helping your body to maintain good health.
Celery is a strongly alkaline food that helps to counteract acidosis, purify the bloodstream, aid in digestion, prevent migraines, relax the nerves, reduce blood pressure, and clear up skin problems. Celery contains compounds called coumarins which are known to enhance the activity of certain white blood cells and support the vascular system.
Celery’s rich organic sodium content has the ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and holds them in solution until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys. Celery is a well known natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body. Celery also has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it an essential food for those who suffer from auto-immune illnesses. To read more click here….http://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/celery
