The Challenge of Families

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Margaret Paul, Ph.D. Angie grew up in a family where she was the caretaker. The oldest of four, Angie was the only member of her family capable of deep caring, empathy and compassion. As a result, she was always attempting to protect her brother and sisters from her fathers physical and emotional abuse. Even her mother learned to turn to her for help and protection. Because everyone learned to rely on Angie, when things didnt turn out the way they wanted, Angie was the one they blamed. Angie became an invisible child. Because of her acute sensitivity to others feelings and needs, her feelings and needs went unnoticed. Everyone in her family wanted to take from her, but no one wanted to give to her. Angie was not a happy child. As an adult, Angie did much inner healing work. She discovered that she had been ignoring her own feelings and needs while caretaking others. As she learned to take loving care of herself and let go of taking responsibility for everyone elses feelings and needs, her family became furious with her. How dare she take care of herself instead of them! The blame that Angie had always experienced from her family intensified. Nothing Angie said had any impact on her familys behavior toward her. They refused to support her in taking care of herself. They just wanted her back in the old system. Angie finally decided that, although she loved her family, she needed to disengage from them. She realized that it was not loving to herself to allow her family to continue to treat her badly. She was unwilling to continue the old family system, and she realized that she had no control over how her family treated her. Angie broke almost all communication with her family for three years. Of course, this caused her parents and siblings to blame her even more. During the few times that Angie communicated with her mother, the hostility was extreme. What is the matter with you? Have you gone nuts? How can you abandon your family? You are being so selfish! Dont you care about us? Angie knew that it was useless to try to explain. Her mother didnt really want to know the answers to these questions she just wanted to have control over Angie. It took three years before anyone in her family started to treat Angie with any sense of respect. It took three years before they accepted that they could no longer treat her badly if they wanted a relationship with her. Presently, Angie has a much better relationship with her family. While they will never have the deep caring and compassion for her that she has for them, they no longer expect her to take responsibility for their feelings and needs, and they no longer blame her for the problems that arise. The question of disengaging from ones family, or from a particular member of the family, often comes up in my counseling work with individuals and couples. Many people have been taught that it is wrong to pull away from ones family that one should keep the family unit intact at all costs. Many people have been taught that it is loving to sacrifice themselves for their family, and selfish to take care of themselves. The problem with these beliefs is that it gives a person, who is being blamed and disrespected by their family, no way out. Many of the people I work with, who have problems with their families, know that they would never allow a stranger to treat them the way their family treats them. Yet they feel afraid if they think about speaking up for themselves, and guilty if they think about disengaging from an emotionally abusive family relationship. Sometimes the most loving act, both for oneself and for others, is to disengage from an abusive relationship. It is not loving to ourselves to allow ourselves to be treated disrespectfully, and it is not loving to others to allow them to treat us disrespectfully. Angies whole family is much better off today than before she disengaged, even though they were furious at her for it. Angie was actually being very loving to them by expecting them to treat her with caring and respect.

Tips To Keep Your Organic Garden Healthy While You’re On Holidays

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Julie Williams Some gardeners worry how their garden will survive while they are away on holidays. With a little organization and preparation, you can go on holidays without worrying about facing impending doom in your veggie patch when you get home. 1: Plan the timing of your holiday. Dont decide to go lay on a beach somewhere when you know your gorgeous tomatoes will be turning ripe. Youll miss out on your harvest and be so disappointed (well I would!). I find the best time to go if I must go in summer is mid-summer. My spring vegetables are finished and my summer vegetables arent ready yet. 2: Adjust the planting of your garden. If you know youre going to be away later in summer, then plant everything later so that it matures later when youre back and refreshed. This works well for tomatoes, capsicums / peppers, beans etc. 3: Harvest before you leave. If youre going to be gone a week or so, pick all your beans, even the ones that are too small to use. Beans stop producing when they are allowed to mature, so pick those that will mature while youre gone. Do the same with eggplant. Tomatoes and peppers can generally either stay on the plant or fall onto the ground without harming the plants. Pick all the female flowers from your summer squash plants. Its amazing how fast a zucchini can grow into the size of a house when youre not looking. Take any fresh veggies along with you, especially if youre visiting friends or relatives. Im sure theyll love it. 4: Get on top of the weeds. Pull out any larger weeds. You dont want to come home to find your garden taken over by triffids. And gardeners know that one season of weed seeds, means seven years of weeding! 5: Water deeply. Even if it has rained recently before you go away, you still should give your plants a healthy watering before you leave. Even better, is to have an irrigation system set up, with a timer set and forget. 6: Apply mulch. Mulch thickly (15cm / 6inches) with moistened pea-straw or similar after a good watering. Add some compost under the mulch as an extra bonus for your plants. The mulch will conserve water and prevent weeds. 7: Enjoy your holiday. Now you can leave your garden knowing that it has already been well cared for. Hi, I am an avid organic gardener and am known by my friends as the recycling queen. I live on a small country property in South Australia. It is my mission to encourage as many people as possible to start organic gardening.

Making Bath Time Fun and Safe for Your Baby

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Sarah Veda As your baby grows larger, that little tiny counter top bathtub will become a thing of the past. But, putting a baby into a big bathtub can be frightening for both of you. Here are some ideas to make bath time fun and safe for you and your little one. Take a bath together Your baby will love having you play and splash with her, especially if she is a little afraid of the big bathtub. This works best when baby is old enough to sit up on her own, so you dont have to hold her the entire time. Buy a bath ring Bath rings are great for babies who cant sit unsupported just yet, because they keep the baby from slipping down into the water Try an inflatable bathtub Inflatable tubs fit snugly down inside your bath tub. They are soft, with big puffy sides that help keep baby upright. Plus, these tubs make the large tub seem a little smaller and less overwhelming to the baby. I found this to be a great way to transition my children into the big tub. Buy lots of bath toys If your child is a little fearful of the tub, the best way to deal with the fear is to take his mind off it. There are loads of toys for the bath, from a plain old rubber ducky, to battery operated fish that swim around, to paints designed for writing right on the walls. Find the right combination of bath toys, and only let him play with them in the bath, and you should be able to turn bath time into the favorite time of day. Color the water There are some great bath time products that can color your bath water. Children are delighted to be able to pick the color of the bath. Its a great way to teach colors, too! A couple of final words about bath time - be sure you are using childrens bath products. The last thing you want is a child who is already fearful of the bath getting soap or shampoo in his eyes. Plus, adult products can be drying and cause skin irritation. And, never leave baby unattended in the bath, not even for a second. The bath can be loads of fun for your child, but only if its safe, too. Sarah is a 41 year old wife and mother of two boys and one girl.

Roaring Twenties Wedding Reception

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Denise Sanger Are you a bride to be that totally walks to a different drum then everyone else? Not looking to do the traditional wedding ceremony and reception? Read on for what one creative bride did! Ever feel like you should be back in the 70’s? Perhaps the 80’s? Maybe go so far as say you wish you were in the 20’s? Well, you can be - if only for a day. Have a wedding that hops everyone into a time machine, and whirl back into the 20’s where flappers and gangsters were the hip ones and no one had heard of todays issues. What a fantastic escape youll be providing for your guests. Walk into a ballroom, which can be a modern style, no need to make it too expensive. There can be a small stage to one side where a band can play, or perhaps there can be a jukebox. Black, red, blue, and white are thrown everywhere, but the lighting can be slightly dim. There can be images painted on the wall of a big time city, to give the party a feel of being outdoors even if it is December in Upstate New York. The tables (how about black?) and chairs (how about red?) can be off against the walls, a few candles on top of each table, and the dance floor can be dead center. Although gangsters were notorious for running the cities, there was also a certain romance to this time period that is perfect to capitalize on. From here there are two options that could be taken to keep this 1920’s feel. Option one is to find a jukebox from the time period, and everyone can jam to the sounds played in the 1920’s, from a newfangled gadget that was growing to be popular during that time period. Or option two, you can hire a band to play big band music from the time period you are shooting for, in this case, the 20’s, and Jazz might be more suitable to tie along with the gangster and flapper theme. Or option 3 hire a DJ to mix period music from the twenties with todays dance tunes. Charleston versus Booty Dancing anyone? Carry the gangster theme forward and you and your groom can be Bonnie and Clyde. Another option is for the bride to be decked out in a white flapper gown (See? You can still have the traditional wedding gown with a bit of you twist!) While the bridesmaids can be in the brides chosen color how about they also have a bit of the flapper look with a shorter bridesmaid dress and long pearl necklaces. Hats perched to the side in the same color replaces the stiff up do. The groom can be in a white gangster suit and his men can be in black gangster suits. Instead of walking down the aisle to the typical wedding theme, perhaps an upbeat jazz tune can be played instead (things to consider, would you rather the music being played live? Or through a jukebox? Either will provide that 20s feel to your guests.) The bride comes down the aisle, jazz music playing around her, her white flapper gown swishes with every step she takes, almost giving the illusion that she is dancing. Food and wedding favors are a few other things to be considered. Caesar salad, and Cobb salad were growing in popularity, and items such as Baby Ruth, Betty Crocker, and Kool-Aid were entering into the mainstream. During this time wine, and other alcoholic beverages where quite popular, since they were also attempting to be banned. You know how you always want something you cant have! But you dont have to let Prohibition put a damper on your modern day party if you choose to serve alcohol at your reception make it fun with a Bonnie & Clyde martini that you created just for your day. Soft drinks are also perfectly acceptable along with a nice punch. Shrimp cocktail, and build your own tacos could always be fun, but may be too laid back for what you have in mind. If youd like a sit down dinner for the wedding, chicken is always a good alternative, in whatever form you think best and usually reasonably priced. Some unique wedding favors for the guests to take with could include be instant photos of themselves from Polaroid cameras placed throughout the reception to be inserted into the photo frame/place card holders you conveniently place at each place setting. Long fake pearls or small flapper purses for the women and luggage tags for the men. Or how about a fun candle favor think Lucky Luciano or Al Capone and go with a Lucky In Love candle set in black, red, and white a great way to let your guests remember the fun they had at your unique wedding reception. With a wedding as unique as this one would be, your guests are sure to fondly remember and talk about your wedding day for years to come!

5 Steps to Clear Skin

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

By Naweko San-Joyz Step One: Reduce excess oil secretion Accutane is a derivative of vitamin A and reduces the secretion of oil by the oil glands. Foods that supply the body with Vitamin A and beta-carotene (which is converted to vitamin A by the body) include: Liver, oily fish, whole eggs, carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Step Two: Encourage extreme shedding of the skin Using a peel is the easiest method to promote shedding of the skin. Exfoliation releases the build-up of dead skin cells, oils and bacteria trapped in the pores, which could lead to the formation of blemishes. Extreme peels Peels come in varying degrees, from mild to harsh. The trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel is an extreme peel that can cost from $100 to $1000 depending on the degree of the treatment. It is only performed in a doctors office. The TCA is not a save all however. The peel can make the skin sensitive to the sun cause hyper-pigmentation. Home use peels Several over-the-counter peels contain papaya enzymes or glycolic acid. These peels lightly exfoliate the skin and are safe for weekly use. Step Three: Reduce the spread of bacterial infection Using an astringent such as witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to disinfect the skin significantly reduces the presence of bacteria on the face. This reduction limits skin inflammation and the likelihood of a pimple developing. Step Four: Enhance Fat Metabolism Free fatty acids can irritate the skin and provoke acne eruptions. Reducing intake of foods containing hydrolyzed fats will improve fat metabolism. However, do consume essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6, which are found in foods such as salmon and olive oil. These essential fats aid the gastrointestinal tract eliminate pro-inflammatory substances, which reduces the possibility of experiencing acne lesions. Step Five: Reduce inflammation A strong immune system serves as a buffer against inflammation. Stress reducing activities such as exercising, eating a well-balanced diet and sleeping well boosts the immune system. A diet supplemented with B-Complex, zinc and vitamins C and E likewise enhances the effectiveness of the immune system. These steps work via creating a bodily environment that is not conducive to acne. By adhering to the nutritional and aesthetic steps above, anyone can attain clear skin while simultaneously augmenting their health. Health author and Noixia campaigner Naweko San-Joyz lovingly writes from her home in San Diego. Her works include Acne Messages: Crack the code of your zits and say goodbye to acne (ISBN: 0974912204) and the upcoming work Skinny Fat Chicks, Why were still not getting this dieting thing (ISBN: 0974912212) for release in June of 2005.

Laser Eye Surgery? It Is Risky My Brother Says

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By Saad Saleem I wear eyeglasses because when I was small I used to love reading books, still do but as a result, as my mum says, my eyesight is weak. My family members are lucky because they dont need any aid for vision. I have been called many names for wearing eyeglasses, including 4 eyes and scientist. I have tried wearing contact lenses; they are one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century but unfortunately they didnt work out for me. This is because I have a habit of washing my face and splashing my eyes, during washing 2 or 3 times a day with cold water. I lost quite a few contact lenses as a result. I stopped splashing my eyes with cold water when my mum threatened me that she would put cello tap on my eyes. Still those were not a good choice for me because I suffer from hay fever, and I constantly have to rub my eyes and put eye drops, especially in summer when the pollen count is higher. Some people are lucky, doesnt matter whichever eyeglasses they wear they look cool and intelligent. I am not one of those lucky ones I suppose and which my brother reminds me almost everyday. When I first heard about laser eye surgery I thought that my prayers have been answered. Finally a way for me to get rid of my glasses and contact lenses, I thought. Is it? While laser eye surgery could be the best solution for someone like myself but this is not without certain risks. The word surgery itself is quite scary, but the good news it, it takes less then a minute for the laser procedure. The problem is you have to be the right candidate for it. Which means if you decide to have eye surgery and contact the laser eye clinic, the eye professional will ask you or give you a list of questions to answer. Based upon your answers and medical history, the eye professional will decide the best option for you. In some cases eye professional might show you the door, because it might be better for you not to have the eye surgery. The procedure actually involves removing a hair thin part of your cornea for the best vision to be achieved. The good thing is it can cure imperfections in the eyes, nearsightedness, farsightedness or even astigmatism. It takes few days for recovery but after that your eyes are cured and you wont need any aid for vision. The risk is low with laser eye surgery because the decision is not in your hand. You can decide to get the eye surgery but if you are not the best candidate your surgeon will refuse to carry out because of the risks involved. Even if you are the best candidate the eye professional will still inform you about the risks involved after the surgery. Since computer is used for controlling laser to remove tissue, you can be assured that the procedure or surgery will be almost perfect. As with any other surgery, you must remember that no surgeon in his right mind would give you any sort of guarantee. Some people have complained about night vision problem and light sensitivity after the surgery but the numbers are very small. Some statistic shows problems of about 3 to 4 in 5000 so realistically numbers are very small. Other risks of laser eye surgery, which have been noted in some people, include double vision, dry eye syndrome, I have mentioned already about light sensitivity and night vision problems. Some people would still need eyeglasses even after the surgery. These are the risks your eye professional or surgeon will inform you as well. You must remember to inform eye surgeon your medical history, any eye diseases you might have, even if you suffer from hay fever you must inform your eye surgeon. So far the statistic shows that there is improvement in vision but not all of them who have got it done achieved a perfect vision. As the time progresses we would be able to find more about it in few years time. One thing is for sure laser eye surgery is here to stay, because the eye surgeons are much more careful and the success rate is higher and is ever increasing day by day. Another good news is the prices are also going down day by day as the people are queuing up to get it done. A word of warning, if you have family members like mine then it would be best if you let them know about it after you have gone through the eye surgery. My brother did a very through research on the risks and negative side of laser eye surgery. Even he discovered few eye surgeons who wear eyeglasses themselves. I truly confess that it is impossible for me to win an argument with my brother. But this time I am sure that I am on the winning side. You can find more information on the following website address and I hope this would be helpful to you. Saad Saleem writes on a variety of subjects including eye care and laser eye surgery.
