ORRESPONDENCE
O
Greetings!
Are people getting happier? It seems
that wherever I go, I meet happy, enthusiastic people. Perhaps it was the fabulous
August weather that created the exuberant atmosphere. Or perhaps I’m just noticing happiness more than usual. Recently, the
cashier at Target absolutely astounded me
with her optimism. I could hardly take my
eyes off her as she spoke of her appreciation for the people she serves. It was as if I
was listening to a spiritual teacher—and I
didn’t want our encounter to end. Now
that I think about it, she was a great teacher.
We never know who will inspire us next.
For the past four months I’ve been a
guest on 1380AM The Woman on Thursday mornings, talking about Missouri getaways. It’s been a great pleasure to be with
Dawn Meadows Dixon and Teacha Tigue,
hosts of the show, talking about the beautiful state of Missouri. Recently on the show,
I talked about Joplin. More than two years
ago, 162 people lost their lives and a third
of the city was wiped out, including 500
businesses, due to a tornado that ripped
through the city.
While more than two years have gone
by, Joplin has not fully recovered. So I propose that families who are planning a weekend getaway include a stop in Joplin. Many
of us wanted to help the city, but we didn’t
know what to do. Perhaps you feel you
could have done more to help. So why not
combine a family getaway with a stop in
Joplin, where you can have lunch in a family
owned restaurant and perhaps buy something special in an antique shop or art
gallery. Every bit of revenue, I’m sure, will
be greatly appreciated.
As many of you know, I’m an outdoors
kind of girl. As often as I’m able, I spend
time exploring and experiencing the natural treasures of Missouri, such as our crystal-clear rivers and springs, forests, parks
and even mountains. In August, I headed to
Shannon County and the Current River for
an inner tube float. Unfortunately, the
rivers flooded and I wasn’t able to float.
Coffee Break
with the
Chief Barista
However, I’m headed there again this
month to experience an end-of-the-season
inner tube float. I’ll bring back some photos
for next month’s issue of Java Journal.
If you and your family enjoy the outdoors and are interested in experiencing
more of Missouri’s natural beauty, feel free
to contact me for ideas about outdoor adventures that might be a good fit for your
family. September and October, in my opinion, are the best months of the year for exploring Missouri’s springs, caves, hiking
trails, rivers and creeks and so much more!
By providing these experiences for children—and enjoyment for ourselves—we give
them very clear examples of the natural resources of our planet that are important to
protect. It’s one thing to tell them of the importance—it’s another thing to show them.
Last month, we invited readers to submit stories titled, “The Most Outstanding
Person I Know.” My thanks to readers who
submitted stories (see page 5). We also invited readers to submit photographs for
our “Lazy Days of Summer” photo contest.
It’s a pleasure to bring you their fun photos
(see page 6). It’s a joy to have so much
reader participation in Java Journal. I love it!
Next month in the October issue,
we’ll present two of our popular features:
Private School Application Process, where
we provide a list of private schools and the
dates of their open houses, and Haunted
Missouri, where we’ll feature some of the
most “haunted” areas in and around St.
Louis. You won’t want to miss it!
Be sure to treat yourself to some of
Missouri’s outdoor treasures this month,
such as a visit to one of our amazing
springs, crystal-clear rivers, hiking trails,
state parks and national forest. There’s
nothing more rejuvenating than nature.
As always, I love hearing from our
readers. If you have a comment to share or
perhaps a suggestion, shoot me an email at
[email protected]. And thank
you for reading Java Journal.

“The Most Outstanding
Person I know”
Last month, Java Journal invited readers to submit essays about someone they feel is outstanding. Often, the most outstanding people are those
who seem to be doing ordinary things. Following are two touching essays
from our readers.
n my lifetime, I have been blessed to
Iwhen
have wonderful people in my life, but
it comes to an “Outstanding Person,” only one person comes to my
mind—my mother.
I always describe my mother as a
living saint. I have never heard my mom
say she was having a bad day, and she
is the most positive person I know. Her
focus in life has always been her children, and she has made so many sacrifices so that her kids would be able to
do things. A friend of mine told me
something years back and it has always
stuck with me. “A mother is only as
happy as her saddest child,” and in my
mother’s case, this holds true.
I have traveled throughout the
world and with each trip I remind myself to come home safe, not so much
because of me, but because of my
mother. There are times when I feel
that my mother and I share one heart
y uncle Ray is the greatest man
on the planet. I went to live with
him when I was about 12 years old
after my parents divorced. At first I didn’t want to live with my aunt and uncle,
but it turned out to be one of the best
things that could have happened.
Uncle Ray has three daughters
and one son. He’s just an ordinary nice
guy on the surface. He works hard,
loves my aunt and his kids and spends
a whole lot of time with his family. But
there’s more. Not many men could
take in their sister’s son and love him
every bit as much as their own kids.
When I first moved into their
house, I got in some trouble at school
and with some of the neighbors, but
Uncle Ray gave me some breaks. After
a while, no more breaks for me. He
treated me the same way he treated
his kids. He was always fair and reasonable and he treated me with as
much love as he treated his own son.
And he expected as much from me as
he did his kids. Most people treat their
own kids better than other kids, but
not Uncle Ray. Everyone is important
to him. And he made me feel like I was
his own son.
During the time I was getting into
trouble, Uncle Ray never let those
things get in the way of our relation-
M
and we are dependent on the other for
survival.
My mother lives in a rural area,
and there are times when people decide to dump their animals on my
mom’s property because it is easier
than taking responsibility for their pets.
I know the number of outside cats put
a strain on my mother’s finances, but
she just says that she can’t stand to see
an animal starve. She also takes the
cats to the vet and has them neutered
or spayed with money out of her own
pocket.
I speak to my mother daily and
our conversations always end the same
way: “I love you.”
She is truly a day brightener, an inspiration and, most of all, an outstanding person and mother.

ship. I’d get into trouble, then Uncle
Ray gave me consequences, and then
he kept on loving me. No matter what
I did, he just gave me a consequence,
and then he’d act like nothing ever happened. He kept being great to me.
Sometimes, after the whole “get in
trouble” thing was over, we’d laugh
about the things I’d done. He never
stopped treating me great, and he
could always relate to me. Pretty soon,
I just stopped getting into trouble. We
spent so much time doing things as a
family that I just didn’t think about
doing things behind his back.
After I graduated from high
school, Uncle Ray helped pay for my
college education. He did as much for
me as he did for my cousins. By then, I
was a true member of the family, and
I’m still very close to my cousins. We
all love Uncle Ray, but I feel so much
more for him for what he has done for
me, taking me in and treating me like
one of his kids.
I never miss an opportunity to
thank Uncle Ray for all he did for me,
and continues to do. Writing this is another way I can tell him how much I
love appreciate him. Thanks, Unc, for
all you’ve done for me.

COLLEGE PREP WITH A PURPOSE!
Come and see why
graduates are recruited by
some of the top colleges
in the country.
The world needs brilliant scientists, artists, designers,
teachers, linguists, social workers and technologists, as well
as brilliant CEOs, doctors and attorneys. At Crossroads
College Prep, we help each student to become the best at
whatever she or he chooses. We don’t fit the mold because
we don’t believe in molds.
We are not mainstream—mainstream is the accepted middle of the road and Crossroads College Prep is not the center of the road. Rather, like Frost’s “road less traveled by,”
we provide a path that “has made all the difference” to the
individuals who teach and learn within our walls.
Small class sizes foster close relationships between students
and teachers. One hundred percent of our seniors go on to
attend some of the finest colleges and universities in the
country. The Class of 2013 was offered over $8 million in
merit-based college scholarship.

effect on the issues that are facing our world?
Looking around, everything seems so
overwhelming and complicated. It’s hard to see
how one person can make a real impact. There
are so many things that need our attention.
We have environmental issues, health concerns, global warming, widespread hunger and
poverty, and it doesn’t end there.
How do we care for our elders? Who is
going to keep our water clean and our food fit
for consumption? What about education? In
our hearts, we want to make a difference, but
how can one person really change anything? It
all appears so big and we
seem so small.
Well, I’m happy to say
that one person can have a
powerful impact on a global
level, addressing most of the
areas I just mentioned. She is
an amazing humanitarian and
her heart is as vast as the
sea. Her entire life has been
dedicated to helping the
poor and needy.
I am referring to a simple woman known as Amma.
From the time she was
a child, she has given food to
others if they were hungry. She inspires and
uplifts with her embrace, her wisdom and her
vision. Her love and deep compassion have
healed the hearts of many. Her teaching is universal because her religion is love. One visit to
her website, Amma.org, and your head will be
swimming in the many programs and charities
she supports.
Amma is a living example of how one person can make the world a better place, which
gives hope to the rest of us. And it all flows
from her commitment to love and serve. This
year, she will celebrate her sixtieth birthday,
and there is much to celebrate!
If you are being introduced to Amma for
the first time, I delight in your discovery. Her
full name is Mata Amritanandamayi, but she is
lovingly known as Amma, “the hugging saint.”
I recently went to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to
attend a weekend event with Amma. I traveled
with a group from St. Louis to meet her during
her 2013 North American tour. Most people
come to these events not to learn about her
charities, but to just—believe it or not—get a
hug. Amma has hugged more than 32 million
people throughout the world. Some people
wait many hours for just one quick hug. In
2009, I waited more than seven hours for a
hug from Amma in Los Angeles, where about
6,000 people had gathered. Crazy, huh?
At this event, while I waited for a hug, I
found myself roaming in a mini Amma village.
There, I learned more about Amma’s charities
and what they are doing to help those in need.
Information booths are staffed with volunteers
who are eager to share Amma’s vision. There
are booths that display beautiful keepsakes and
gifts—from sari silks to sterling silver jewelry.
You can even delight in some vegetarian Indian
food if you like. Everything is eco-friendly with
a sustainability focus, with all proceeds supporting Amma’s charities.
Through her non-profit organization, Embracing the World, she coordinates many humanitarian efforts that are assisting people all
over the world. Her global charities benefit disaster relief, green initiatives, community outreach, homes for children, public health,
housing for the poor, health care and nutrition,
education for everyone, fighting hunger and
empowering women.
Last year, she held free programs in 56
cities in 20 countries.
When you visit her website, Amma.org, you get
an even better idea of all
she is doing in the world.
It’s quite amazing! Amma
has never asked anyone
to change their religion;
only to go deeper into
their values and practice
the essential principles of
their faith.
How is she doing all
this? It all began with love.
It’s just that simple.
Right where you are,
right now, you can make a difference. You can
begin by focusing your heart on love and asking yourself, “What would love do in this moment, right now?” As you begin to focus on
love and being a loving presence in the world,
you—yes you—can have a powerful impact on
the world.
As you walk in the world, silently repeat
the word “love.” It will transform each and
every moment and you will radiate love everywhere you go.
If you want to take it a step further, ask
yourself, “How can I be of service today?”
What could you physically do to make the
world better? Where could you volunteer?
Who could you inspire and uplift?
When you give love and kindness to others, a ripple effect occurs. Your happiness inspires their happiness, and then they inspire
someone else who then inspires another. Before you know it, that little act of kindness has
traveled around the world.
So you see, you really can make a difference. A HUGE difference! Just give it a try.
Thank you so much for reading this column. If you should see me out and about,
please stop and say hello. It would bring joy to
my heart to meet you.
Pooki Lee expresses her playful and passionate life through dancing, singing, laughing and
loving. Her desire is to assist others in living a life
of creativity, joy and freedom. She is also the director of Gateway to Agape. Pooki invites you to

Take A Look Inside
Look who’s waiting for you, now!
Jodi
Can you resist that face? Jodi is 11 years old, and if you’re looking
for a cuddle-bug of a dog, you won’t find one better than Jodi. She puts all
of her attention on people and doesn’t have any left for other dogs. Since
she has a bit of hip dysplasia, she isn’t going to be a walking buddy. What
she wants is nothing more than love and affection. Come down and meet
this gentle lady.
Delta Does your home need a girl who’s a great mix of mellow
with a dash of playful? Look no further! This 4-year-old girl walks well
on a leash and is very social. Delta gets along well with other dogs and
loves to make new friends. She would love to be the most perfect
member of your home.
Arwen Do you need the definition of laid back? Arwen’s picture
should be next to it in the dictionary. Arwen has raised her babies and sent
them off to new homes, and now she just enjoys the good life of cat naps
and sunbeams. This 18-month-old girl plays when the mood strikes her,
which is only briefly and in between her naps. Arwen would love a home
with bright sunny windows and comfortable beds. Is that home yours?
Fritz “Look into my eyes…you want to take me home, right?”
That’s what Fritz always says to people. If you’re looking for a boy that
has a little “cattitude,” then Fritz is your boy. This 4-year-old boy likes
to wrestle with his friends and then curl up in a bed and sleep the day
away. Fritz doesn’t really ask for much, just a warm home, filled with
food and love.
Please consider adopting one of our
450 precious pets. We are a no-kill
shelter, providing the best loving care
available anywhere.

The Mirror
of Life
Adorable
Adoptables
ave you ever thought, “I wonder what it was
H
like before there were mirrors?” Your next
thought might be, “If there were no mirrors,
everyone would know what I look like except
me!” The fact is, the only way we know what we
look like, physically, is dependent upon having a
mirror to reflect our image back to us.
I imagine the closest thing to a mirror that
the ancients had would have been their reflection in water. They might have looked pretty
good in a clear mountain stream with no ripples,
but that same person might have seen themselves as wrinkly and distorted if they had seen
themselves, for example, in the waters of the
muddy Mississippi.
I looked up the history of mirrors and sure
enough, the first mirrors are thought to have
been pools of dark, still water or water collected
in primitive vessels of some sort. The earliest
mirrors made of polished stone date back to
around 6000 BC. That’s more than 8,000 years
ago! Other than discovering how to make fire, I’ll
bet mirrors were one of the earliest inventions
of humankind. Why? Because of our desire to
see what we looked like, especially when everyone else could see what we looked like before
we could.
But what if mirrors were never invented in
the way we define mirrors, as a piece of glass reflecting back to us what we look like on the outside? What if we went through life knowing
nothing about our own overall appearance? We
might be able to look down and see our hands
and feet and a portion of the front of our bodies,
but without a mirror we would never clearly see
our face or the back of ourselves or even the
whole image.
What if there were no mirrors? What if the
only things we could identify about ourselves
were on the inside? What if the only things we
knew about ourselves were our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, fears, aspirations and what we happen to be doing from moment to moment? But
here’s the thing—even if there were no mirrors
made out of water or stone or glass, there would
still be a mirror. All of life is a mirror, and by looking into the mirror of life we learn even more
about ourselves on the inside.
The mirror of life reflects back to us,
through other people and circumstances, the
way we believe we deserve to be treated, how
we value ourselves, our fears, our tendency to
critically judge or gossip, as well as our love and
compassion.
The mirroring concept simply asks, “What if
everything you like in people and things around
you are reflecting back to you as something you
like about yourself?” So, if you admire someone
who is kind and loving toward you, they may be
reflecting back to you the kindness and love that
you express. And, visa versa, you might reflect
back to them the extent of their kindness and
compassion or their anger and unfairness.
If you feel unappreciated, try looking into
the mirror of life to see what it tells you about
why you feel unappreciated. Perhaps others are
reflecting back to you your own low opinion of
yourself. You might say, “No! I know that I’m
good at what I do. I deserve to be appreciated.”
But if neediness lurks behind your desire to be
appreciated, you are more than likely harboring
low self-worth or perhaps your own tendency to
not appreciate others. When we dislike someone for being selfish, they just might be a reflection of the selfishness within ourselves.
The interesting thing about the mirror of life
Love
Appreciation
Worthiness
Admiration
Kindness
is that it works both ways. Sometimes, we may
not understand why we’re behaving a certain
way toward one person when we treat others
differently. Chances are, what we’re doing is
holding a mirror for them to see that same quality of behavior in themselves.
Also, the mirror of life works just as well with
things as it does with people. For instance, consider the sky on a day when it’s filled with heavy,
black, low-hanging clouds. Among the dark
clouds there’s a place where the blue sky peaks
through and the sun’s rays spread out to create
a spectacular display of light. If we’re moved to
notice the magnificence of such a display, then
feelings of magnificence will shine forth from inside ourselves, reflecting back to the sky—and
everyone around us—the magnificence we feel. If
we fail to notice and feel the magnificence in that
sky and choose to see only the darkness and
gloom of the storm clouds, then darkness and
gloom is that which we typically notice and feel
more than the awe of something beautiful.
Being aware of the mirror concept, we can
learn from everything in our human experience.
Every area of life becomes a reflection, revealing
some aspect of ourselves. And remember—the
mirror of life cannot lie. It will always tell you
what you have come to believe, what you fear
and how much you value and respect yourself.
What do you see when you look into the
mirror of life?

PERSIE
Persie is a beautiful Akita mix
with an inquisitive expression on her
face. She had a tough life on the
streets, and the tip of one of her ears
has been bitten off by flies. However,
she hasn’t let any of her past dampen
her personality. She is a super sweet
dog who is quickly becoming a staff
and volunteer favorite.
Persie is a friendly girl. At the
age of five, she is a bit older than her
shelter friends, but she has plenty of
energy. She enjoys being with people, taking walks or hanging with a
friend. She has found a safe place at
Stray Rescue. Persie is so deserving
of a chance to have a calm and loving
life. You could make a huge difference for this dog by giving her a
home and family. Can you help to
put a smile on her face?
ANTOINETTE
Antoinette's expression of wariness comes naturally to her. She had a
bad existence on the streets before
being rescued. She came into the shelter with eye infections and missing
some hair. But that’s behind her now.
Antoinette has discovered that life with
caring people can be wonderful.
At two years old, Antoinette is at
the perfect age to adapt to a new
home. She is mature enough to learn
and young enough to play. She enjoys
her walks and play time in the yard.
Antoinette is very sweet with people
and craves human attention.
Her whole world will change
when she is adopted. She will be
loved—love she will return over and
over. You can make a huge difference
in this girl’s life.

Getaways
Autumn
Adventures
by Marian Rein
Photo by Mike McArthy, www.Photozarks.com
here isn’t a finer time of the year for a
T
Missouri nature adventure than the beginning of autumn. Missouri’s fall colors begin
in September and last through November,
usually peaking in mid-October when the
ashes, maples, oaks and hickories are at the
height of their color. By late October, colors
begin to fade and leaves begin to drop.
The beautiful autumn colors and cooler
weather provide the perfect backdrop to experience Missouri’s treasures, such as our
many crystal-clear rivers for canoeing and fishing, caves for exploring, natural springs that
pump millions of gallons of water per day,
hundreds of miles of the best hiking and biking trails anywhere, including paved paths,
rugged climbs and even mountains to hike
and explore.
To encourage you to get out and experience fall, here are some suggestions for a
Missouri nature adventure, including rugged
wildlife areas, as well more easily accessed
areas that are equally beautiful. Each of these
areas has more to offer than I can possible list
here, but perhaps you will become interested
enough to do some research and find the perfect autumn outdoor adventure for you and
your family.
OZARK TRAIL
For those who enjoy hiking or biking adventures, I suggest starting with the Ozark
Trail, 360 miles of trails that run from Piedmont through the St. Francis Mountains—
and hills and valleys that are filled with springs,
waterfalls and caves, the Eleven Point and
Current Rivers, creeks and smaller rivers—
to Steelville in Crawford County. These trails
provide excellent hiking, biking and horseback
riding experiences, from one mile to a hundred miles. Throughout the areas surrounding the trails are lodges and resorts, as well as
primitive and less primitive camping areas.
At www.ozarktrail.com, you’ll find a list
of trails and access points, length of trails and
what you can see along the trail. Trails range
from nine miles to 48 miles and longer. The
website has a trip planner with literally hundreds of trips you could take, providing ideas
for combining a hiking and canoeing trip or a
long mountain biking adventure or camping
and floating. The park service has a shuttle,
so if you plan to hike 20 miles, for example,
they can arrange for you to be picked up.
SHANNON COUNTY
Located in South Central Missouri, Shannon County is the second largest county in
Missouri, consisting of 1,003 square miles,
though its population is only 8,500. It’s
county seat is Eminence. While Shannon
County is the poorest county in Missouri, it is
one of the richest in terms of natural beauty.
Parts of Shannon County are within the
Mark Twain National Forest (MTNF)—1.5
million acres in the southern half of Missouri.
Also in Shannon County is the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR), consisting
of the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, two
of the finest floating rivers in the state. Plus,
the MTNF is home to hundreds of freshwater
springs, caves, trails and historic sites, such as
Alley Mill. The ONSR is the first national
park area to protect a river system.
For those who are interested in rugged
outdoor adventures, Shannon County can
provide it. From canoeing, rafting and fishing
in it’s spring-fed rivers to hiking, exploring and
camping, you’ll see some of the most beautiful sights in Missouri. There are far too many
amazing destinations and adventures in Shannon County to name, so I’ll give you a few to
wet your appetite for an adventure.
Eagle Falls Ranch, located in Eminence,
provides outdoor adventures that include zi-
plining, horseback riding, tours of the area
and cabins for lodging. (flyeaglefalls.com).
Rocky Falls is a beautiful cascading waterfall in Rocky Creek, with a swimming hole
at the bottom. There are picnic tables, hiking
trails and beautiful scenery everywhere you
look. And the Ozark trail runs right past it!
Peck Ranch Conservation Area, near
Winona and Eminence, consists of 23,763
acres of rugged, forested hills and hollows. It
is predominantly a forest with 1,500 acres of
glades, as well as woodland, cropland and
wetlands. It features primitive camping,
firearms range and a 10-mile self-guided elk
viewing auto tour. (Google Peck Ranch Conservation Area.)
Round Spring Retreat is a guest cabin
located in Eminence, with a fully equipped
kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, gas grill,
fire pit and screened-in porch that overlooks
Round Spring on the Current River. It’s one of
the most comfortable nature getaways I’ve
experienced. Plus, the cabin is often visited by
free-roaming horses. Visit the website
www.roundspringretreat.com.

WAYNE COUNTY
Located near Reynolds County and in
the Mark Twain National Forest is Wayne
County, which provides a wide variety of
recreational areas, including Clearwater
Lake, Wappapello Lake, Sam A. Baker
State Park, St. Francis River and Black
River.
Clearwater Lake is a reservoir on the
Black River. The Army Corps of Engineers
uses it for flood control. It’s 2.5 square miles
of lake, offering three marinas for rental
boats and pontoons. And the scenery is fantastic! Visit www.clearwaterlake.org.
Lake Wappapello is a reservoir on the
St. Francis River that provides boating, fishing and swimming. Lake Wappapello State
Park is on the southwest side of the lake,
with camping sites, fully equipped rental cabins, hiking, biking and equestrian trails that
wind through rugged Ozark terrain, as well
as a trail that follows the edge of the lake.
Visit Mostateparks.com/park/lake-wappapello-state-park.
Sam A. Baker State Park is located in
the St. Francois Mountain region of the
Ozarks. It consists of more than 5,300 acres
of park, with access to the St. Francis River
and Big Creek, both for fishing, canoeing
and swimming. The park has 187 campsites—
half of them with electricity—and 18 rustic
cabins with full kitchens, full baths, heating
and air conditioning, barbecue grills, fire pits
and fireplaces. It also has a separate campground with 21 sites for use by equestrians.
javajournalSTL.com
In addition to rugged hiking, there are trails
for walking, biking and roller blading. The
park even has a stone dining lodge! Big
Creek is a clear, spring-fed stream that is
floatable in the spring and late fall. On the St.
Francis River, you can canoe for four miles,
14 miles and even 18 miles.
The park’s 12-mile trail is a moderate to
very strenuous hike. Most of it is located in
the Mudlick Mountain Wild Area, one of
the most undisturbed landscapes in Missouri.
Mostateparks.com/park/sam-baker-state-park.
CRAWFORD COUNTY
Crawford County just might be the
river capital of Missouri. With the Meramec,
Current, Huzzah and Courtois Rivers, one
can easily access a canoeing or rafting experience that suits their taste.
Bass River Resort provides comfortable camping sites, canoes, kayaks and rafts
for floating on the Meramec, Huzzah and
Courtois (one of my favorites), as well as
lovely cabins and houses for family getaways.
Visit Bassresort.com and plan an autumn
river adventure.
Fair Winds Cabins, located near Cherryville, provides a lovely getaway for couples,
“the girls” or families with two- and four-person private cabins, jacuzzi baths, fireplaces
and full kitchens. On the Fair Winds property
is a private, crystal-clear stream for guests to
enjoy. Guests also have easy access to a fall
canoe float on the Current River. ■

Your Right and Responsibility
by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
Ninety-five percent of people are
born healthy and become unhealthy because of negative human behaviors. How
do these negative behaviors begin? Much
of it is the result of poor self-esteem
which leads to unhealthy habits, such as
obesity, smoking, lack of activity and drug

and alcohol abuse.
As I have emphasized for more than
20 years, conscientiousness is the single
greatest factor in health and longevity.
However, only three percent of Americans are conscientious at the basic level.
That is, only three percent have taken
basic personal responsibility for these
four habits:
1. Maintain a BMI (body mass index) of
18 to 24.
2. Eat five or more servings of fruits and
vegetables daily.
3. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes, five
days a week.
4. Do not smoke.
The average American eating 2.2
servings of fruits and veggies per day has
significant increases in a weak immune
system, cancer, diabetes and heart disease. They could be helped immensely by
using supplimental products such as Kyani
Sunrise, NitroXtreme and Sunset.
The 90 percent of Americans not
getting 3.5 hours of exercise a week have
increased rates of heart disease, diabetes,

depression and cancer.
Loss of health is the result of stress:
• Physical inactivity is a major stressor.
• Chemical—poor nutrition is the major
chemical stressor. Drugs, alcohol and
nicotine are toxins.
• Electromagnetic—there is increasing evidence of the risk of health problems associated with EMF (electromagnetic field).
• Emotional—anger, depression, anxiety
and guilt are major stressors.
Health and happiness are an inside
job. It is your responsibility to have
healthy habits and a healthy lifestyle. And
the good news is this—you can change
your current lifestyle to include more
healthful behaviors.
• Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes five
days a week.
• Do not smoke, take street drugs or
drink excessively.
• Eat real food that is chemical free and
unprocessed.
• Sleep seven to eight hours every night.
• Act responsibly in all aspect of your life.
Consider starting gradually, perhaps
by adding a few minutes of exercise to
your daily routine and building up to 30
minutes a day. Consider cutting back on
smoking until you no longer feel the need.
Consider how wonderful you will feel
when you begin eating healthy, natural
foods.
Nothing is more important than personal health. If Americans converted to
the four common sense responsible
habits, their average life expectancy
would increase 22 years (average 100
years) within 20 to 25 years.
Conventional medicine is excellent
for acute illnesses and accidents. Chronic
stress illnesses are best handled with alternative and self-health approaches. If in
doubt, read and heed my book, titled 90
Days To Self-Health.

Home Care by Seniors for Seniors
Creating Change
Through Hypnosis
by Linda Weber Spradling, CHt
There’s a huge difference in the kind of home
care you can receive from someone who really
understands what your life is like as a senior.
Our loving, caring, compassionate seniors are
there to help. We offer all the services you need
to stay in your own home, living independently.
• Companionship
Making life changes, even small ones,
can be challenging, especially when your
life is filled with time constraints or you
are experiencing a lack the energy, or
perhaps you simply don’t know how to
begin. It often requires a tremendous
amount of effort and focus. However,
making changes, such as managing stress,
changing a career path or achieving new
goals, can be greatly enhanced through
hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy is a natural process
that involves achieving an altered state of
mind—something that all people have experienced, but perhaps were unaware. It
is a process that taps into, and reveals,
long-held beliefs that can diminish our ability to see things differently, to feel worthy, vibrant and eager, and to more easily
achieve goals that otherwise may seem
daunting.
During hypnotherapy, people experience an enhanced ability to become
aware of their deeply held beliefs—even
beliefs that were established early in life—
that are limiting their current life experience. Once those beliefs are identified
and subjected to review and revaluation,
people can more easily eliminate self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors and
adopt life-giving ideas about themselves.
They are able to respond to situations
and memories in ways that promote the
achievement of their goals and desires.
People often wonder if they are able
to be hypnotized. The answer is yes! Anyone who desires it can be hypnotized.
Many of my new clients, upon our initial
consultation, also express their concern
about not being in control during hypnosis. The fact is, not only will you experience control, you will actually learn to
have more control of your mind.
The hypnotherapist’s job is to assist
their clients in achieving their goals, accomplished through time-proven hypnotic
methods that are safe and effective. Hypnotherapy is like having a personal coach
to help you program the personal computer in your subconscious mind. The gift
of hypnotherapy is that it helps you tap
into your inner resources—resources that
are present in every person—for the purpose of self-healing. By simply being in a
hypnotic state, our minds and bodies experience health and healing.
As a hypnotherapist, I am a member
of the International Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists,
Inc. I specialize in analytical clinical hypnotherapy as developed by Gil Boyne,
and I employ techniques and protocols
developed by Emile Coue’, Gil Boyne, Tim
Simmerman Sierra and E.A. Barnett,
M.D. To schedule a confidential appointment, call me at (314) 520-1438 or email

Hypnotherapy is a natural, yet altered state of mind that all people
have experienced but perhaps not realized. Anyone who desires to
be hypnotized can be hypnotized. Most concerns are about a fear of
loss of control, mostly due to stage hypnosis demonstrations. The
fact is that you are ,always in control during hypnosis and hypnosis
actually teaches us to have more control of our minds.
Hypnotherapy is safe, effective, proven.

Weight Loss May Not Be
by Judd A. Fuhr, M.D., D.C.
Be honest with yourself. Do you like
what you see when you look in the mirror—especially a full-length mirror? Do
you want to turn back the hands of time?
For such feelings of despair, anything
that seems to offer a quick, easy answer
to weight loss, cellulite reduction or other
health and fitness problems is a straw
worth grasping for. But that’s precisely
the problem. Everywhere you look, people are offering you only straws to grasp,
straws that come with great promises of
quick, easy solutions (but their disclaimers about “atypical” results tell the
truth).
Somehow the promises just don’t
pan out because straws—no matter what
shiny, new packages they’re wrapped in—
are still straws. Each new weight-loss fad
brings new hope, but hope is not a stable course of action. Working with scientific facts and principles is. Re-education
is your missing link to a more youthful appearance, higher level of wellness and
greater quality of life. Re-education is
how you create success with permanent
weight loss.
To achieve success, you simply must
understand how fat is burned and health
is created:
• Overweight is not a disease. It’s a
symptom of diminished health. If you
can’t lose weight and keep it off, it’s because there’s something wrong with your
health, which includes hormonal imbalances. So if you want to lose weight permanently, you must start getting healthy.
• Eating fat does not make you fat. It’s
the inability to burn fat that makes you
fat. You must enlist the right hormones
to burn fat and reverse your signs of
aging. This is where your quality of life
comes from.
• For most people with stubborn weight
or cellulite, the very last thing they should
be doing is cutting calories, because it
doesn’t work. It doesn’t work! By the
way, did I say IT DOESN’T WORK?
• Yes, many people are successfully losing weight on modern weight-loss programs, but they are not losing weight
permanently—and seldom healthfully.
• If you have a stubborn weight problem,
“moderation in all things” will not work
for you until you get healthy.
• The weight loss approach that’s best
for you depends on your body type
(which points directly to your hormonal
imbalances). Do you know your body
type?
• If you use the wrong kinds of exercise
for your type of hormonal imbalances,
your exercise program may actually be
harming your efforts to regain you health
and achieve permanent weight loss.
• Breaking old habits can be more rewarding than you think.

Open the Door
to Your Child’s Success
by Marla Shyken
Justin has difficulty leaving his mom’s
side, and anxiety interferes with his ability to transition from the classroom to
playing with other children on the playground. When playing with a friend,
Johnny often becomes angry and ends up
hitting the child and the play date ends
on a bad note. Chelsea’s mom thinks she
has an attention issue, and she is resistant to performing fine motor skills.
Parents often experience these issues with their children and don’t know
how they can help them succeed. All of
these children have different problems,
but they may stem from similar issues. As
parents, we don’t always know where to
turn for help when we have the gut feeling that something isn't quite right. Often,
I meet with parents who say they’ve
talked to their pediatricians, teachers and
their local school district about problems
their children are experiencing, and I
commonly hear, “My child doesn’t qualify
for any services provided by the school
district, but I know that something isn’t
quite right.”
As a pediatric occupational therapist, I look at children’s sensory and
motor development, and with the parents’ input, I focus on helping their children become successful in their job of
learning and playing. It might be as easy
as creating a consistent routine or encouraging the child to play on the playground more often. Children who are
struggling in the classroom or at home
often have difficulty playing with peers
since children’s play is often unpredictable, and they are already struggling.
Often, children benefit from Sensory Integration Therapy services, which
helps to regulate their nervous systems.
Therapists help by giving them specific
challenges that encourage the development of new skills, which in turns helps
them to succeed in their environment.
Play2Learn/Mid-America Therapy
Services works closely with families to
help their children succeed. We offer individual therapy services, as well as smallgroup classes consisting of: Mommy and
Me (10 months to 3 years—this is a great
opportunity to meet other parents and
to help children socialize, even if you have
a child who is fearful of leaving your side);
Social Skills for 3 to 5 year olds; Letter Fun
for 4 to 5 year olds who are struggling
to recognize letters and may benefit
from a sensory enriched approach; Fine
Motor Fitness, a perfect opportunity for
the child who is resistant or demonstrates weak fine-motor skills; Individual
Tutoring for children who are struggling
with reading and spelling; and Integrated
Listening services for children with auditory and visual processing, balance and
coordination issues, as well as ADHD,
sensory processing issues and autism.
If your child is having difficulties in
school or at home, contact me at (314)
434-5410 to schedule a confidential consultation.

Café Olé!
Green Smoothie
by Marian Rein
When I was first introduced to a
“green smoothie,” I just couldn’t imagine downing a glass of anything green,
let alone enjoying it. I feared not only
that it would taste green, but that it
would have the aroma of “green” as
well. Neither was the case. That was a
year ago. Now, it’s a rare morning that
I don’t have one. The recipe I use tastes
like fruit—that’s it!
Here’s my basic recipe, but experiment with fruits that you like the most.
Don’t skip the banana! It’s the key to a
really great green smoothie that does
not taste “green.”
3 large leaves of kale, any variety
1 handful of fresh spinach
2 to 3 ripe bananas
1 to 2 apples, peeled and cored
1 handful of grapes
1 cup of fruit yogurt
1
⁄2 cup of any juice (I use apple or grape)
1 cup of water
Other ingredients that work well: plums,
peaches, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, walnuts, pecans, ground flax
seed.
Puree all ingredients in a blender
until smooth. Add more water if desired. Keeps well the refrigerator in a
sealed container for three days.
All-Natural Fruit Leather
Eating healthy treats is often a challenge, especially for families on the go.
This recipe is so easy, your kids can make
it. Create all-natural fruit leather using
strawberries, blueberries, apples,
peaches, raspberries or pears.
Puree fruit with and a little honey
in a blender until very smooth. Pour
onto a cookie sheet lined with plastic
wrap. Spread it out to about one-eighth
inch thick. Keep mixture away from
edges. Bake for 6 to 8 hours at 140 to
170 degrees. If you won’t be home for
the entire baking time, just turn the oven
off when you leave and resume baking
when you return. Note: plastic wrap
does not melt at low temperatures.
Healthy Snacks on the Go!
It’s easy—and expensive—to buy individual packages of snacks, such as
cookies, chips and fruit. Most of these
types of snacks are less healthy than
creating your own individual servings.
To reduce the cost and provide
healthier snacks for your family, buy a
variety of large bags of healthier
snacks, such as pretzels, whole-grain
crackers, carrot chips, almonds, pecans,
peanuts unsweetened cereal and dried
fruits, then fill snack bags (half the size
of sandwich bags) with a handful each,
or create your own favorite combinations.
You may want to put all of the
bags into a large bowl that is easily accessed by your entire family. So when
you’re running late for a meeting or a
child’s soccer game, everyone can
quickly choose a snack that appeals to
them. You’ll be encouraging healthy
eating and avoiding the temptation for
a quick pass through a fast-food drive
thru.
Also, keep individual servings of
grapes, berries, mellon slices and carrot sticks in the refrigerator.
Another suggestion is to keep the
individual servings in one large zip-lock
bag and take it along in the car. So
when you have a car full of kids and
they’re all hungry, you’ll be prepared
to satisfy almost any child.

Celebrating the 199th
Anniversary of
The Star-Spangled Banner
by Harvey Blumenthal
he 2012 London Olympics refreshed our
T
patriotic awareness as TV cameras captured the smiles, the pride and, often, the
overwhelming tearful joyous emotions of our
victorious American athletes on the champions’ platform while our American flag was
hoisted to the playing of our national anthem.
September 14 we will celebrate the one
hundred and ninety-ninth anniversary of The
Star-Spangled Banner. During our 1812 war
with England, Francis Scott Key watched the
British bombardment of Baltimore’s Fort
McHenry on the night of Sept. 13, 1812.
Upon seeing the American flag still waving at
dawn the next morning, Sept. 14, Key was inspired to write a poem. Later the words of
his poem were put to music and became The
Star-Spangled Banner.
In 1831, a Congressional Resolution officially designated the song as our national anthem and Sept. 14 the anniversary date. As
school children, we all placed Francis Scott
Key in our pantheon of American patriots,
and we feel proud to be Americans whenever
our anthem is played.
Two-score and 12 years later, in September 1864 to be exact, our country was
engaged in a great civil war, but the South was
now on the brink of defeat. The Yankees had
surrounded Richmond, Va., and that Confederate capitol was under siege and being
pounded by cannon.
More than three thousand sick and
wounded Confederate soldiers filled Richmond’s chimborazos Hospital, where there
were scant medical supplies and very few
physicians—most of the doctors were engaged with Lee’s army, which had
escaped Richmond. The
wounded men who could not
be moved were nursed by a
small number of Confederate
women, many of whom were
wives of the Richmond leadership and social elite. The profession of nursing had yet to be
established. These loyal and brave
southern women attended the
dreadfully wounded men, sick and
dying, with foul-smelling infected wounds
that would prove fatal.
One of these wounded and dying Confederate soldiers was Richard Hammond Key,
grandson of Francis Scott Key. Richard was
nursed and comforted by Mrs. Phoebe Pember, the chief matron of the cast of determined southern women who volunteered to
administer comfort and care to these sick and
wounded men. Mrs. Pember later wrote how
Richard Key asked her to bury him in a wellmarked grave, where his loved ones might
find him some day.
Richard Key died the next day, Sept. 29,
1864. Mrs. Pember had a sturdy coffin built.
Then she, alone, drove his body in a wagon to
Hollywood Cemetery, purchased a plot and
stood in a pouring rain, with only a clergyman
for Richard’s burial.
How ironic that the grandson of the
composer of our national anthem gave his life
in support of a massive rebellion against the
United States. What would his grandfather
have thought of Richard? It is impossible to
convey the delights of grandparenthood to
those who have not yet reached this glorious
milestone? But most grandparents can palpably feel the anguish and conflict Francis Scott
Key would have felt had he lived to know of
his grandson’s treason.
Our civil war had many brutal and heartbreaking consequences, but the United States
of America survived, stronger than before,
and our Star-Spangled Banner still waves,
more proudly than ever, o’er a land that is
more truly free. ■

We all want is feel worthy of living life while feeling happy, fulfilled, grateful and
blessed. During those moments when we feel otherwise, it would be wise to use
all of the available tools to help us see solutions, recognize guidance and use our energy to act in a direction that can restore our sense of well-being. Mindshifts IS such
a tool.
Following are six positive statements—the first letters spelling NOTICE—that
can help you make changes in thought, feeling and action, thereby lifting your spirit
and inspiring your soul. Say them many times a day as you notice the beauty, possibility and abundance all around you.
N
otice Today I make it my
business to notice the beauty around me
in people, places and things. As I see
good rather than evil, beauty rather
than ugliness and harmony instead of
chaos, I find myself feeling calm rather
than anxious, grateful rather than needy
and compassionate instead of critical.
O
ffer I offer my personal gifts
of talent, skill, caring, kindness and appreciation to everything I do and everyone with whom I interact. As I focus
upon what I have to offer, rather than
what I think I’m missing or lacking, I create an opening for all good things to flow
in and fill the void that is waiting to be
replenished with more from which I
might give.
T
each I remind myself to see
every challenging experience as an opportunity to learn something constructive or to participate in someone else’s
life lessons. As I accept all that calls forth
my patience, strength, courage and compassion, I find myself grateful for these
opportunities to choose the high road
and practice mastery over my reactions
and responses.
Notice
I
nspire I open myself to be inspired by nature, by life’s unlimited
choices, and by the vastness of this universe. I marvel at the sights and sounds
that stir within me the joy, well-being and
awareness of endless possibility. I step
into the future with ease and the intention to inspire others with positive,
hope-filled expectations that are rooted
in faith and trust, rather than doubt and
fear.
C
are I take care to speak with
kindness, act with high intention and always move in the direction of my
dreams and desires. I care for my body
by making wise choices. I care for my
mind by thinking constructive thoughts.
I care for my spirit by remembering to
lighten up and accept peace. I care for
others with compassion and forgiveness.
E
xpand Today, I vow to step
out of narrow mindedness, critical judgment and fearful resistance. Instead, I expand my willingness to receive and my
ability to notice the good things in others. I take down the walls of fear that
separate me from the flow of life’s rich
blessings. I am expanding rather than
contracting with respect to everything
within my realm of influence.
