Mind and Body Fitness Connections

Back to California next week! I?m excited to be making the journey. We got to see snow and a tornado while back in our home state of Oklahoma (thunder/electricity storms are Kinny?s and my favorite weather). It was a little crazy on the 10th when the tornado blew through the Chucky Cheese where my cousin?s 4-year-old son had a party just the weekend before, on the 7th. Fortunately, where we have been staying just got rain and
wind.

I just wanted to let you know that I will be back in Oceanside next week and I will be taking appointments at The Wellness Center in the AM Thurs the 26th and on Sat. the 28th. Then for 3 to 4 weeks of March I will take appointments on Monday afternoon/evenings and Thursday mornings. If you are interested in making an appointment you can call them directly at 760-726-9660, they will be keeping my schedule for me. Otherwise if you want
to talk to me, of course my cell and email will still be working. I will be out of
commission on the computer for most of next week though, so my cell phone will be the best way to get in touch with me Feb 16th to 22nd. After that I should be settled and have more time to check email.

We plan to be in Oceanside through most of March, then start our tour of the U.S. after that. Our travel trailer is waiting for us in Oceanside and we are looking forward to checking it out and starting our camping tour. I do have updated pictures on my blog from the last few weeks. Please visit www.mindandbodyfitness.net/blog to check them out. Be Well!

It?s amazing how plans can change when you have faith, follow your intuition and leave things up to God. When we left California we had no definite plans other than to spend the holidays with family, obtain an RV, then travel and visit friends around the country that we knew. The original plan was loosely set to leave OKC sometime in Jan with an RV my sister and her husband were going to loan us; then we intended to go to Austin, Southern AZ and back up to Oceanside before starting our Northern trip to see the northwest part of the country that neither my husband nor I have seen.

As it turns out, after carefully checking out the pop up trailer that my sister and her husband have, none of us are confident that it could make the cross country trips we are planning, due to age and wear. Well, it just so happens that we have a friend selling his newer model pop up trailer at a steal of a price back in Southern California. So, as of now it appears that we will be leaving for Oceanside sometime the 2nd or 3rd week of February and staying about a month with friends out there as well as purchasing our new pop-up tent.

During my stay in Oceanside I plan to workout a schedule at The Wellness Center a couple days a week to do some work for any clients that are interested in scheduling with me. I have already gotten approval from the clinic director to work out of the facility and we will just have to coordinate days and times I will have access to the rooms. I will relay the details, as I know more.

As for our next journey, when leaving Oceanside, we plan to hit Southern AZ, Austin and then back to OKC for a time before heading up North during the warmer months. We have friends in Colorado, family and friends in Northern California, and my husband has Marine Corp buddies in Oregon, and Washington. We want to see Wyoming, Montana and many of the
beautiful northern states. Also I have friends in Wisconsin and Virginia, so there is no telling where this trip is going to lead us, but I have faith that we will be in the right places at the right times, being blessed to have an adventure that not many people get the chance to have.

I?m already educating myself on home schooling for preschoolers and I think we are going to have a blast with our son letting him experience life in the outdoors (hopefully it will tame some of his energy; I would love to harness and sell it!) Also we have musical instruments and art supplies we got at Christmas and plan to use as a family, which I think will be a unique opportunity to bring us all closer.

Please take time to check out my website, I have updated it since I moved and have posted holiday pictures at www.mindandbodyfitness.net/blog
Also, I have added some new links on the client education page for you to review (the ones listed under ?Article on Various Health Topics? have numerous resources for you to look through). I will email you a short note again when I know the exact dates we will be in Oceanside.

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.  I realize this can be a busy and stressful time of year, but it can also bring great joy as we slow down and spend time with our loved ones. 

I am sending this email to let you know of some major changes that are going on with myself and Mind and Body Fitness Connections.  After a great deal of thought, my husband and I made the decision to relocate from California.  The first week of December Mind and Body Fitness Connections packed up and moved from The Wellness Center in Vista and will remain out of commission for several months.

My family arrived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on the 6^th of December.  Most of my husband’s and my family live here.  We are looking forward to spending Christmas with our family and our four-year-old son is having a blast with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. 

My husband was in the Marine Corp from June 2003 to August 2007.  During the 50 months he was in the service he spent only 17 months home with us, serving two tours in Iraq and one in Japan.  This separation took a large toll on our entire family.  After a great deal of discussion we decided it would be in our family’s best interest to take some time off to reconnect and heal from the struggles deployments like these can bring.  So, we will be spending time in Oklahoma until after the New Year and then we plan to spend several months traveling in a RV that my sister and her husband have been gracious enough to let us borrow.  We plan to spend the winter months in the Southern states (and will be back in Oceanside visiting friends sometime in February/March).  Then, we will head up North for the spring/summer months. We are currently planning to settle down in Oklahoma City sometime in the summer of 2009, at which time I plan to open the doors of Mind and Body Fitness Connections again. 

I will be updating the blog on my website with news of our travels as frequently as I am able.  I would love for you to keep up with our journey and keep in touch with me.  My website, email and cell phone numbers will remain the same.  I greatly appreciate your business and friendship and look forward to sharing my family’s journey and growth with you. 

Have a joyful and blessed Christmas and New Year!

TO BETTER HEALTH

• Are you at your ideal bodyweight?

• Are you the healthiest you’ve ever been?

• Do you have more energy than you have ever had?

If you answered no to these questions then you can’t afford to miss this workshop!

We will be looking in depth at six ways to restore your vitality!

Thinking Patterns- Do you affirm yourself on a daily basis or do you find, like so many          others, that you talk more harshly to yourself than you would a stranger.

Proper Breathing Techniques- Oxygen is life; learn to fully oxygenate your body.

Body Balance- Our bodies are designed to be symmetrical, if our joints are out of                  alignment then pain and dysfunction will result.

Movement- Exercise programs should be unique, not everyone needs the same form of                    exercise; Do you know what is right for you?

Nutrition- Learn the importance of eating right for your unique metabolic type.

Sleep- How sleep affects our ability to heal and repair.
