A lack of sunshine can affect our memory
A lack of sunlight doesn’t only make us feel down in the dumps – it can also affect our memory, especially if we’re already depressed. Scientists thought that a lack of sunshine, especially during the long winter months in the Northern hemisphere, only made us depressed and caused a condition known as SAD (seasonal affective disorder) – but new research suggests it does far more.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Transcending
This week our journey focuses on the power of Transcending, the 12th of 12
keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Sensational Stevia Recipes - "Wonderful White Chocolate Chip-Cherry Cookies" - Lisa Jobs
White chocolate isn't really "chocolate" at all because it contains only the fat from the cocoa bean and other non-chocolate ingredients. So it's important to choose white chocolate chips or baking bars that contain only the cocoa butter as the "fat" ingredient. Avoid products that are all sugar, hard vegetable fat and have artificial chocolate flavoring. You see, the labeling rules for regular chocolate don't apply to white chocolate, so you need to read labels! Ghirardelli is one brand that has cocoa butter for a better chocolate flavor and contains less artificial ingredients. Jobs offers this recipe for Wonderful White Chocolate Chip-Cherry Cookies excerpted from her book Sensational Stevia Desserts.

Healing Power of the Mind - "Worry Yourself Sick, Think Yourself Well!" - A Series by Martin Rossman, MD
Imagery is a flow of thoughts you can see, hear, feel, smell or taste. It is the expression of dreams and daydreams; memories and reminiscence; plans, projections and possibilities. It is the language of the arts, the emotions, and most important, of the deeper self. Everyone uses imagery. When we worry, we’re using imagery unconsciously, and often to our own detriment. Imagining possible disasters, we react with physical and psychological distress all the time we are worrying. View more
