Dear Jenifer,
Hello and welcome to the October 2009
Edition of The Empowerment Journal for Holistic
Living.
October is going to be a busy month here at the
center. With the fundraiser, our Yoga/Meditation
event and various events with Kimberton Whole Foods,
I'm thinking some naps may be in order ;)
Wishing you joy and beauty in each moment!
Blessings,
Jenifer Shapiro, TEC Founder and Director

With September being an unusually
challenging - emotionally and physically -
month for many, October is shaping up to be
a much smoother transition. It may even seem
like the ease to fall September usually

10 Ways to Stay Healthy This Winter |
|
**********************************
The turn of the seasons is one of the
most common times to catch a cold, flu or
virus. These tips can help you stay healthy
during the turn to fall and winter!

A Dinner Treat: Salmon, Orzo and More! |
|
**********************************
Salmon, Orzo, Walnut & Sun-Dried Tomato
Wraps
This one isn't vegan but it is non-dairy and
it is healthy for those who do fish. For
vegans, substitute tofu, mushrooms or as I
do, red peppers for a vegan treat! For those
looking for gluten free, shift the orzo to a
gluten free rice pasta and swap lettuce or
gluten free wraps for the pitas and you are
good to go! Can you tell I work with clients
with digestive sensititives ;) ?
Enjoy!

Understanding Career Burnout - A New
Resource |
|
*********************************************
Many clients come in fatigued and burnt out
from their career paths. Years of doing the
same work without passion or compassion can
create an inner weariness that we don't
always view as a problem that we can
address.
The new career burnout test - Free in our
resource library - can help you to see
yourself a little differently. While not a
perfect diagnostic tool - no one tool can
help everyone, I do feel it raises some
important questions about taking care of
ourselves.
You will find it under the "All new
Health Assessments available here!" link
in the health tools and tests area.

Reconnecting to the Heart Practice |
|
*****************************
With so much on our minds each day, we often
forget to connect to our hearts. When we
aren't connected, it can cause us to be
snippy, cruel and cause fatigue, sadness and
isolation. This is a practice I like to
do to reconnect to my heart quickly, easily
and comfily* (ok, new word, play on comfy,
let me know what you think.)
