Beachwalker Whooooooo Hoooooo!!!! It's Saturday!!! Mar 28, 2009 6:36 AM Hello Friends, It's Saturday again, and another really full week here. I hope everyone is doing well, and is enjoying the improving weather. I am going to be working at work again today, hopefully will not have to work tomorrow. I am excited about leaving to go claim our condo. LOL - our friends have gone down to bring loads of stuff, but we are yet to embrace it :hug: ourselves. : ) Well, soon. With paint brush in hand!!! Lots of goals we set this past month or so have been met. We finally found a good match for tennants for the property we had to rent before we could go on our trip. We live in a fishing village, and rented it to two young commercial fisherman, one with a daughter. I think it is a pretty good match - the vibes from these folks were good, and I am hoping they will be content in their new place. The daughter was cute - I told her we were looking for a little 'beachgirl' and she was skipping up and down at the thought of being able to walk to the beach with her dad!!! Well, with that and most of the packing done, we are almost ready to shove off for most of April. We will be back on the 26th.. Still some work to do at work, but I will have to keep digging till I get to the bottom of my pile. I have my most high risk cases being left under the caring wings of my collegues, and most of my clients will be fine till I can see them after the 26th. Planning and goals are so important in life, in balance to the 'in the moment moments'!!! Best of Spring to all of You, and will be in touch soon!!! Hope everyone is doing some Great Self Care!!! :HEART: Beach
Beachwalker Whoooooooooo Hooooooo!!! It's Saturday!!! Mar 21, 2009 5:48 AM Whoooooooooo Hooooooo!!! It's Saturday!!! And I must work. Well, it is all in the spirit of getting ready to go away for a few weeks and there are still some mountains of work to climb. Frosty this morning here, but it looks like it is shaping up to a sunny day. I hear that the temp. is going up this week!!! YaY!!! The deal fell through with a prospective renter for our unit here, but I have another showing on Sunday. Also, am happy to say that I have the Florida condo already booked for three rentals, one in May, one in June and one in August!!! That will help with expenses, and friends and family are getting a really good deal. Win/Win - Love that!!! I planted some bulbs at the office and it looks springy here!!! Hope everyone is enjoying Spring and taking good self care!!! How's it going for you? Well, now to work. xO Beach
Beachwalker Whooooooo Hoooooo!!! It's Saturday!!! Mar 14, 2009 5:34 AM Whooooooo Hoooooo!!! It's Saturday!!! Hello Friends!!! I am having some problems with my new Internet - I changed to high speed and have had some problems with it. My emails are jammed up, and sometimes I can get in, and sometimes, I cannot. Sorry I have not been in touch. I got a portable card, but it is limited so, I think I will have to be checking in once in a while now. I love reading your posts and want to be in touch. Anyways, besides that, it has been uber busy at work, and we are also busy at home. A little too busy right now, but it is of our own doing, so we just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sunday we show our rental property here, and hopefully it will be rented. We are working to furnish our Florida Condo and have sent a load down with friends. We are now preparing our own load of stuff :). I have been scouting the thrift stores, and am purchasing some big pics to hang for about 20 - 30 dollars. I don't care what the pics inside are, just so that they have a great look matte border, and a great frame. I will replace the existing pics with tropical pics when I get to Florida, and will have nice big pics for a low price!!! Work is super busy, a lot of our clients are in crisis .....a long winter, and tough economy. We realize you have to take care of the care giver. One self care thing we did as a group was to have a great beach party pot luck lunch to break up the winter blues. We decorated the lunch room to tropical and some of us dressed tropical, had summer food, :feedme: and enjoyed each others company :dude: . It was uplifting. Lots of good laughs at the whitest legs and best beach dancing contests!!! This weekend I am going to recharge and get my personal sense of peacefulness and balance in order. I hope everyone is taking good care of yourself. What is new, and what are you up to today or this week? xO Beach
tdsollog Why Hair Goes Gray.... Mar 12, 2009 6:18 PM Why Hair Goes Gray Study Blames a Chain Reaction That Makes Hair Bleach Itself From the Inside Out By Miranda Hitti WebMD Health News http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/news/20090225/why-hair-goes-gray?ecd=wnl_lbt_031109 Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD Feb. 25, 2009 -- Scientists may have figured out why hair turns gray, and their finding may open the door to new anti-graying strategies. New research shows that hair turns gray as a result of a chemical chain reaction that causes hair to bleach itself from the inside out. The process starts when there is a dip in levels of an enzyme called catalase. That catalase shortfall means that the hydrogen peroxide that naturally occurs in hair can't be broken down. So hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair, and because other enzymes that would repair hydrogen peroxide's damage are also in short supply, the hair goes gray. Putting the brakes on that chemical chain reaction "could have great implications in the hair graying scenario in humans," write the researchers, who included Karin Schallreuter, a professor clinical and experimental dermatology at England's University of Bradford. The study appears online in The FASEB Journal; the FASEB is the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
Beachwalker It's Sunday, and I Am Grateful Mar 1, 2009 7:41 AM It's Sunday, and I am Grateful. Today, I am grateful for time. That has been of short order lately, so I am grateful to have some time to myself, to think, to get into balance, and to plan for some of the things that will be taking up my time in the next while. Right now, I have a lot on the go. I am getting ready to send the first envoy to Florida. I have some work friends going to our Florida condo, before we even get to go. They are taking the first truck load of "stuff" down for us - like chairs, a table, all the cook stuff, cleaning stuff, bedding and linen stuff, and they are going to pick up the first bed for the main bedroom!!! So I am sorting through the pile one more time!!! Eventually, we are going to become one of the Canadian "snowbirds" going down sometimes in the winters and springs. And we will be also sending some snowbird friends and family down. I guess we will be doing our small share to contribute to the global economy : ). Here is a picture of the condo. It is on the lake, where we stayed last time we were in Florida. It is not fancy and needs some work, so we and some family, friends and acquaintances will be doing it. It is win/win because we are trading free time in Florida for help. Win/Win - Love That!!! Ours is the 3rd with the little Palm Tree in Front We can hardly wait to get ready to go down in April to do some renovations - we are putting down a ceramic floor on the ground level, and painting the downstairs this time round. Have 3 weeks to do this. YIKES!!! Should be an interesting experience. Meanwhile, here at home, I have a lot of work, at Work to do before I go, and we have to rent out a condo we have here. Yes, we are entrepreneurs contributing to small business, to help us and to help the economy. There is always a way to have a creative response to world market changes, and we have been through it all. So to all the young people here on team, take heart, there is always a creative way to look at the economic turns, and to grow through them!!! Think outside of the box. Start small and build :HEART: Always try to help others whenever you can. I hope everyone is doing good self care, and is finding something to be grateful for in life!!! Happy Sunday!!! xO Beach
