The Best Alternative Medicine I did not win the Readers Choice 2010: Best of Mindful Chicago Awards in the category of Best Healing & Wellness Practitioner, but I was thrilled to be a finalist!

Stillness Buddy Len and I recently became aware of a computer product known as the Stillness Buddy and we wanted to make you aware of it too. It helps people to be more aware of the present moment, and more relaxed and at peace while working at the computer.
Stillness Buddy works by displaying on the computer screen, practical exercises, meditations and quotes, at regular intervals during day. The user decides on the duration and frequency of these pauses to suit their preferences and schedule.
By regularly following simple yet powerful exercises presented during the breaks, Stillness Buddy quickly and effectively helps to:
- Cultivate a deep sense of peace and stillness in your everyday life. - Be more relaxed in your body, less tense. - Work in a more mindful, alert and stress-free manner - Live more and more in the present moment
This lighthearted video below explains it all in 2.5 minutes. It's not something we carry at HolEssence. If you decide to get it, you purchase it directly from Stillness Buddy after a 14-day free trial - enjoy!
Available for Adoption Snuggles is an adorable long-haired Chihuahua. She weighs between 8-10 lbs and is 5 years old. She came to rescue after her owner passed away. She has led a very sheltered life. Her owner was bed ridden which limited Snuggles experiences. She was not socialized with people or other animals. As a result, Snuggles came into rescue petrified, she could not be handled at all. Within a few days of talking with her and loving her she did a total turnaround and is socializing with all the other dogs and is like a magnet to her foster mom.
She's a very sweet little dog once she knows she can trust you. She needs a quiet home with someone who understands how scared she is, and who will be willing to work with her. Because of her previous situation where she barely left the house, she was only trained to go on wee-wee pads. She has started going outside, but still uses the pads at times.
If you are interested in meeting Snuggles please contact her foster mom Julie at 847-497-3061 or at dogcrazy623@comcast.net.

“Walking the Sacred Path” A Monthly Women’s Wisdom Gathering Beginning Wednesday, June 23rd
The circle of life and all of its sacred forms offer us many ways of understanding our human growth and spiritual potential. Using the natural cycles of our mother earth and its seasons, we will integrate these energies with our spiritual life cycles to ground into everyday life. Beginning with the birth of spring, we will explore these nature-al connections and how these teachers can transform our path to living a sacred and balanced life.
Sometimes it is difficult to stay in the flow of life in an authentic way and put into practice all that you learned and KNOW. We will support each other in “walking the talk”, awakening our awareness and activating changes in consciousness while inspiring our dreams and visions.
Join this sacred women’s circle where we will utilize universal teachings, creativity, journaling, meditation, guided imagery, intuitive cards and Native American symbology and ceremony. Be supported on your personal journey with respect, truth and joy. All beliefs welcome.
Cost: $25.00 per night; one year commitment. The circle will meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 7-9pm.
