TO DO lists help us to remember to get things done.  Curious??....Have you noticed that many times those lists are ever present in your mind?  Does it feel like you are always wondering what to do next, what you forgot to do, and are you thinking about what you need to add to the list?
 
How might it feel if instead of just using a TO DO list to check things DONE, you created a ......read more

Curious?  How are you feeling at the end of the day?  Anxious? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Exhausted?
If you are feeling any of those emotions, you certainly are not alone.  To tell you the truth, most of my clients felt that way when they first came to me for coaching.
 
I started coaching a client (let's call her Jennifer).  She is a manager in a food services department, a mom of three children below the age of eight, a volunteer for many organizations, and a loving wife.  I'm sure you can imagine how hard it was for her to balance her job, family and volunteer work.  Before she started coaching with me, she often felt very stressed, especially when "life" would throw her a curve ball.

Oh my! How I love homemade chai especially on these chilly fall evenings! Although tastes differ, I have found this combination to be my favorite:  I love, love the following recipe! Enjoy!
 
Brew a strong cup of your favorite organic black tea, and once it steeps for 2 or 3 minutes, add:

• 1 or 2 drops of Cardamom
• 1 or 2 drops Cinnamon
• 1 drop Clove
• 1 drop Black Pepper
• Add in whichever type of milk you prefer, such as coconut, almond, hemp, or organic dairy.

It’s truly delicious and you are getting incredible benefits for all the warming essential oils which are also great for digestion. Clove oil has also been used for thousands of years for teeth & gum health!

Much Love and Light, Joanie 
 

PS  One of the most vital things you must know about essential oils is not all essential oils are created equally. In fact, most of them are worthless to your health and often synthetic. When buying essential oils make sure they are certified pure therapeutic grade. If you want to order the brand I trust and personally use, feel free to email me @ [email protected]
