The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that ... women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves. -Louise Otto

Thoughts on Whole Living for the Holidays

The best way to entertain guests is to spend time with them. (The dishes can wait.)
Rethink power shopping. Opt for fewer gifts that mean more.
Breathe deeply -- and watch things fall into place.
Revisit natural, time-honored treatments to heal what ails you.
Generous acts are more than simple gestures. They're a way of life.


Don't confuse what you give with who you are.
Exercise can be an effective coping tool, not just another thing on your to-do list.
Rather than ignore stress, take note of it. Only then can you create a plan for change.
Be mindful of what you drink. Nourishment comes in many forms.
It doesn't take a Herculean effort to be a miracle in someone's life.
