Doug And Rita Stanley Open New Business Focused On Bringing Improved Health To EveryoneLong time Fountain Valley residents and graduates of Widefield High School, Doug and Rita Stanley, recently held the grand opening of Source Healers at 107 W. Missouri in Fountain, across from Aragon Elementary School. Rita Stanley states “While living in this area we have seen a need for spiritually based community wellness and have been looking for a way to bring what we are learning to this area. We believe the space we are building is made for just that purpose.  According to their website at http://www.sourcehealers.com/.  “We want people to feel comfortable here.  We would like to see small groups use the class space, and are hoping to draw in other readers, and holistic teachers.”

The Stanleys are both Reiki Master Teachers trained in shamanic healing practices, and their plan is for practitioners of many different complimentary and alternative healing modalities to offer their services through Source Healers.  Current offerings include Reiki and meditation sessions, shamanic journey training and sessions, shamanic healing sessions, sound work, card readings, among other things.  Source Healers also sells healing-oriented items, such as essential oils.  The Stanleys also plan to facilitate healing groups with local musicians and drumming circles. According to the International Center for Reiki Training at http://www.reiki.org/; “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.”Rita continued, “We feel the need to bring all of this to our hometown. We are not religion biased and are accepting of all people.  We want to bring health here.”

Yes that is my Tryn at the ribbon cutting! She is so excited about this opportunity at Source Healers and has been working hard to help promote the business on Facebook and work on the website. She lead a drum circle and has a Samhain (sp) class on the 28th of October. I got business cards for her and new business cards for Aaron to help them with their businesses.

Gaining my Stride Again

For the past many years my focus has been on these guys in one form or another. First it was Tryn and Mark,  then we got divorced and it was Tryn. Best Friends came and some stayed and some went their own way. 

But life moves on and my role in all my kids life is changing and I am slowly adjusting and so are they.  

I need to focus on getting some stuff straight in my life and let them figure stuff out in theirs while we still have fun together. On my end I am working out how my new life works and having fun being Auntie, a role that I never got to do enough!

Working on It

So this week felt a little more settled despite being sick. I got to work on my photos finally, Eagan and I tried to muddle through WOW ccg, I still owe Fletcher a run through. Lots of OT this coming week because I have managed to completely jack my bank account again. Hopefully for the last time. Fiscal responsibility is my key word this year and I must get this right.

Lots of things planned, and lots of pots on the back burners...one thing at a time and right now the bank account and the car and the traffic court ticket are it....then I can move on to the next point in the list. Is it just me...I can visualize the spoiled little girl screaming I want it all now! As Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka (the one with Gene Wilder) and I just hit the mental Bad Egg button and down she goes...and we just continue with the grown up things and everything else can wait.

Tired...

I am so out of my routine...I don't even have a routine at this point. Its 11:16 at night and I just got back from Walmart because it couldn't wait til tomorrow. And it took 2 trips to the freezer because I forgot the stupid milk and I still can' t find half the light switches in the house. As I was putting things away I was actually thinking that being this far out of my routine (I've only been here since the 16th) that I would be lucky if I didn't buy something I already had...too late. As I thought it, I pulled out a second bottle of white cooking wine. *sigh*

I guess I need to give myself a break...this is a whole new start but for all the time I feel right at home there is the rest of the time that I have no idea what to do with myself...or is that the exhaustion talking?

Have to get up in 5 1/2 hours..good night.

This Year...New Years Resolutions in April

Once upon a time April was the beginning of the year so I'm okay with deciding on my resolutions now. Also many many years ago (okay, about 9) my daughter made a most interesting statement during a theatre class. She stated that the world was a Triangle, and never forgot that statement and even expanded on it to include the Six Flags theme song and mutant chickens in a conspiracy theory. And while I haven't seen much on the conspiracy side, she does have a really good lead on the Triangle theory.

Man is based on the Triangle of Physical, Mental and Spiritual.  Within the Spiritual if you are Christian God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Within the mental triangle my psychology teacher tells me there is Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, which is a triangle. And I'm sure if I knew enough about physical health there would be another triangle there. 

I know that this year I am going to focus on my own personal triangle. Mental, Physical and Financial Health. For me mental is spiritual also, while I truly want to take on the Julie/Julia cookbook challenge, I think this year I will take on the Weight Watchers Cookbook challenge instead, I will save my own personal Julie/Julia challenge for when I get my own place again.

Happy Happy Joy Joy (I'm such a geek)

I am perfectly happy right now. Know what I'm doing? Installing a new hard drive in my laptop and reinstalling my programs. I enjoy the process just as much as the result :)

Lifes Journey

The picture at the top of this post is no accident Bon Jovi has been the soundtrack of my life for many years. The lyrics to the title track " I think I've found my way, say goodbye to yesterday" talk about letting go of the past and moving on with the future. 
In 2010 my life changed completly.. my daughter graduated high school. Yeah! Got married(love you Aaron!) And then she and Aaron moved to Greeley for college.  While I was understandably thrilled for them...the center of my life was gone and then a few weeks later the person that I was hoping would be my new center disappeared when my fiance broke off our engagement.
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not codependant or anything. Tryn is my daughter and I consider Aaron to be my son.  I have been with Tryn nearly every day of her life Aaron has lived with us for 2 years. We have fun and do things together...currently we are all getting back into Magic.  But kids must go expereniece life...I know this. Thank go for cells and Internet!  I had remet a man I knew from USPS and we thought we were gonna get married. I thought we would go enjoy life together. He changed his mind.
Now what? Sure I can do this myself. But I'm tired of being alone. I'm tired of fighting alone. Yes I know spiritually I'm not alone. Butt really is someone my age to share life with too much to ask?
But regrets are part of the Lost Highway so stick those in the dashboard and close it up. Eyes ahead and keep driving. I see the sighposts up ahead for this years trip...debt free, savings, and getting healthier...let's kick into gear and let's go!

My Kids

For those of you out of the loop no-I didn't have a baby. But I am still Mom to more than Tryn.  This Picture here shows Tryn Aaron Andrew Danny Chris and David. Lexi Antony and June should be in this picture also :)  I'm everyones Mom and that's ok. I like helping and guiding.
