The latest edition features even more variety of natural health and sustainable lifestyle services PLUS our annual organic section. Pick up your copy at more than 250 locations throughout Niagara.
BIG HEARTS! Many thanks to all the natural health professionals who donated their time and expertise at the annual Pamperfest Feb 13th at the Niagara Regional Native Centre in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Women from shelters, crisis centres, and various women’s programs throughout the region were treated to a day of pampering ----------------- Very important advice from www.snopes.com Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this to '10' of your friends, sign this petition or you'll get bad luck, good luck, you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it, whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to! The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mail addresses to use in SPAM E-Mails, or to sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that tell you to send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus ...... that's E-mail tracking! They're playing on our conscience! These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease 'how would you feel if that was your child' .......E-mail Tracking!!! Ignore them! Don't participate! If you have been forwarding the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM and so do your friends! You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause - YOU ARE NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to the White House, Congress, UNESCO, UNICEF or any such organizations. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition. AND MOST IMPORTANT: Don't forget to delete other people’s email addresses on the e-mails you forward and use BCC when sending to multiple names

------------------------------------------- HEALTH TIPS
GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR
Try this method when it rains heavily. It is useful...even driving at night. Most motorists turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad. In the event you face such a situation, put on your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and your visibility in front of your windshield becomes perfectly clear, as if there is no rain. You still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling. You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "kickup" if you are following a semi or car in the rain , and "blindness" from passing semi's spraying you too.
"The best way to create peace in the world is to create peace inside ourselves." Michael Moon
In the habit of whining and complaining?
We energize our problems when we dwell on them or talk about them or worry about them. When people tell you their tales of woe, interrupt them and redirect the conversation to an area in their life that works. People often listen to these tales of woe and then twenty minutes later they wonder why their energy is so low. If you find yourself complaining or whining or dwelling on negative issues when you talk to others - STOP DOING THIS. You are just digging yourself deeper into a hole and it will be harder to get out. Instead, focus on the good things in your life and your loved ones’ life. One of my old co-workers summed it up best: What you feed grows. So be careful what you feed!!!
