The Promise" Silently beneath the ground, A seed lays still and cold;Yet there within the tiny seed,Is promise yet untold.The promise of the springtime,Of fragrant sweet perfume;Is there within the tiny seed,In the promise of the bloom. Think spring, be prepared to bloom!by Allison CoxseyTHINK SPRING, BE PREPARED TO BLOOM!It is easy to love Spring. Throughout the ages, humans have taken a natural delight in participating in Spring's approach and joyously welcoming her arrival. Spring is the season of birth. It is the season when life and inspiration and creativity arise from her season of hibernation.We need to welcome the spirit of Spring into our inner beings.
We need to take delight in the beauty and wonder and magnificence around us. We need to be joyful in being alive to experience life and all its gifts and treasures. So many of them have your name on them but are you ready to receive them? Is there room in your soul for them or is your soul in hibernation, still needing to be roused from its slumber?Sometimes it seems difficult to empower the Spring within ourselves. What are we heavy laden with which inhibits us from breaking forth into a new dimension of life, of playfulness, of wonder, of adventure, of exploration, of creativity? Why won't we SPRING FORTH into newness and joy?What might you be tolerating, putting up with, that hinders your forward progress?What might others be saying that prevent you from being the authentic you?What keeps you in fear of taking a risk and experiencing something you've only dreamed of?" Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us.
Between the two stands Resistance. Resistance by definition is self-sabotage and procrastination its most common manifestation ". The War of Art - Steve PressfieldDo something intentional that allows you to access the thoughtful, meaningful part of being human. That is the best way to welcome a season. Remember, the world is different in Springtime and so are you.
Engage consciously in your senses to honor the heightening of your energy and spirit. Enjoy this natural catapult into a new beginning!The bow kept forever taut will break. - Zen saying" Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and singand dance and play and work every day some. "- Robert Fulghum, All I Need to Know" Don?t ask what the world needs.Rather ask - what makes you come alive?Then go and do it!Because what the world needs is peoplewho have come alive."- Howard ThurmanAs your Adventure-Health Coach, I would be delighted to partner with you to see you ' spring forth '; to uncover the unlived life within you and to be there when you blossom and bloom!.

The Perfect Present: Using Your Five Senses to Live in the Moment
Copyright 2005 Vivian Banta
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift - that is why we call it the present." Author unknown
How much of your life is lost either dwelling on the past or worrying about the future? When your thoughts are imprisoned by the past or fearful of the future, you can miss out on one of life's greatest gifts: that which is happening today and indeed this very moment.
The reality is that when you are yearning for yesterday and either tempted or terrified by tomorrow, your ability to move forward will be confined by your inability to make the most of today. The key to throwing off your shackles is to put your effort into the present moment.
Not only will you reap the rewards of enjoying a new awareness of everything around you, but also you will have a healthy and positive place from which to move forward in a constructive and fulfilling way.

Make your cologne your own
Once you have found a scent that you feel really defines who you are and what you are all about, (and makes you just a little more unforgettable!), how do you make it your own?
By that we mean, how do you make people think, "that smells like Sheryl" or, "that smells like Jeff" instead of, "isn't that the cologne that Janet wears?" Making the cologne "your own" means engulfing yourself in the scent so that it becomes an integral part of you, without becoming overwhelming to others.
For example, you don't want to continue spraying yourself with perfume or cologne all day long, since the sharp, introductory notes will continue to come through and that sharp scent will be overwhelming to people if they smell it on you constantly.
Instead, try building a the scent in layers. For example, many fragrance manufacturers don't just make cologne or perfume, they make other products with the same fragrance as well. You should start by using their soap...
Is Your Water Safe To Drink?
When people talk about nutrition, they usually overlook a very important nutrient necessary for good health.
WATER!
That's mostly because we've taken both for granted for thousands of years. Water has been mostly good for us up until only a relatively few years ago. That's all changed now, and we definitely need to think again, as it's getting much worse, almost daily.
It's usually recommended that we each drink 64 ounces of water per day - that's 8 each 8 ounce glasses (full) every day.
Actually, the better recommendation for good health is 1 gallon per 50 pounds of body weight.
Few of us ever get even those minimum 8 glasses per day.
According to one study, about 4/5ths of all adults do NOT get even this minimum.
The majority of adults in the US are borderline dehydrated.
Did you know that many deaths in nursing homes are actually caused by dehydration?
Dehydration of the frontal lobes is a major...
