HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

“I feel immensely blessed to have a chance to get it right.”  Oprah Winfrey

Generally from January until mid-February the gym is fairly crowded and then the crowd falls off their New Year’s resolutions and life becomes normal again.  Oprah admitted all the things she vowed to do last year, she didn’t:  more balance and time, daily workout, etc.  After meeting Charla Nash, the woman who was violently attacked by a 200 lb. chimpanzee last February, and hearing her story, she stated in her magazine, “No more excuses.”

For years I didn’t make New Year’s resolutions.  I thought they were “dumb.”  However, what I realized was I was setting goals and accomplishing many of them but wouldn’t it be better if I actually wrote them down so I could refer to them as the years passed?  Many of us are quick to judge ourselves harshly but what I’ve learned is we’re human and we just need to practice.  [Read more…] about From My Heart- January, 2010

Save the Dates!!!

  November 4th        Wednesday              Water Filtration Systems              Mike Wiechmann, Nature’s Garden

My husband better not miss this presentation as I am determined to do something about our drinking water and together we can make an informed decision.  I now take stainless steel drinking containers to the gym (not bottled water) and yet what is the difference between our tap water and filtered water?  Is bottled water good for you or does it depend upon the brand? What is the difference between the filtration systems?  I’ve already seen Mike’s Power Point Presentation and been part of a group discussion and this is GOOD!  This is a hot topic so although it is FREE, please sign up with me, Vicki Upchurch, at lifestyle_choices@yahoo.com or call me at 713.443.9400 so we have adequate seating.

The Buck Stops HERE!!!

(In lieu of my regular newsletter in which I provide the latest research and information regarding good health, I decided to address Healthcare Reform this month.)

The United States is ranked 48th in the world for life expectancy coming in behind countries like Japan, Australia, France, Canada, the U.K., etc. For the first time in history children being born in the U.S. will not have the same life expectancy as our generation!  It will be shorter.  Notice several of these countries practice socialized medicine.  Japan is ranked 3rd in the world for longevity.  While we espouse our country having the greatest healthcare providers, we are ranked so far behind how the Japanese are faring in real time health!   How can that be?  How can we have the latest in diagnostic equipment and excellent practitioners but still rank so poorly as a developed nation?

 What is Japan doing differently?  [Read more…] about From My Heart- September, 2009
