10-Day Yoga Challenge: Day Eight: “Expose your heart”

June 4, 2011 by Jessica 9 Comments

The theme of yesterday’s post was “reveal,” but I waited until this one to close that loop. I am not going to yoga on Day Eight. Instead I went back to a second class on the evening of Day Seven. This does feel like cheating, I admit. But looking at the day, with a wedding…

Mama gets the sniffles

January 25, 2010 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Here is a health-focused piece cross-posted from my main blog, Crunchy-Chewy Mama. I had been putting more health-focused pieces here and more snippets from life on the alternative mainstream divide over there, but I now that I am writing for The Washington Times Communities at “Reading Ingredients: Tales of a Health-Conscious Mom,” I’m re-evaluating my…

Healing a Face Wound (and more?)

November 15, 2009 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Almost a month ago, I went to the grand re-opening of Holeco Wellness Medi Spa, the first holistic/wellness medispa recognized by Green America as a Green company and listed in their Green Pages. The owner is a wonderful woman who recently spoke at a Holistic Moms meeting. They are in a building that just underwent…

Fighting the flu naturally

September 10, 2009 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I haven’t been pro-vaccine for a long time, since I got the flu vaccine in my 20s and felt terrible. Now that we’re facing a potentially bad flu year, there is a lot of talk about vaccines for flu and specifically for H1N1/Swine Flu. I’m hoping that the alternative folks are right that the best…

Taking a Fall

January 18, 2009 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Two weeks ago, I fell taking a step onto a neighbor’s basement stairs. My foot just slipped on the carpet and I was about to bounce down the stairs on my bottom. Having sprained my ankle in September 2007 two weeks before I was going to run a half-marathon, I was determined not to let…

When needs diverge

January 4, 2009 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I am being pulled in opposing directions. Now, my wanting to do several things at once is not a new thing, I freely admit. However, I was starting to feel good about the idea of going to bed early in order to get up early and do yoga or work out and write before my…

Let that fever go

October 15, 2008 by Jessica Leave a Comment

After my son’s first illness in a while, I’m so glad I’m still nursing and that we can still create a family bed. Last night my son said he had a “stomachbake,” and he clearly had some gas, but he fell asleep fairly easily around 7:30. Then, when he woke at 9:00 p.m. crying, I…

Drinkin’ and a-Runnin’

June 7, 2008 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Who knew that May 31st was the day before June 1st? When my friend’s husband asked if I was available to come to a surprise birthday party for her, I didn’t put it together that the half-marathon I’d just registered for was the following morning, Sunday, at 7:00 a.m. – a hour away. We talked…

Flower essences and trauma

May 16, 2008 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I’ve been taking a class recently on using flower essences with infants and children. I’ll go further into my experience with them in the past once I merge it in my head with the more detailed info I’m learning. For now, I want to highlight Emergency Trauma Solution by Perelandra (available online only). I’ve given…
