Next Month's Meeting
The Five Love Languages
February 1, 2011 7-9 PM

Love is in the air! But we don't always know how to express it to our loved ones. What if you could say or do just the right thing-guaranteed to make that special someone feel loved? Join us in a casual discussion and review of Gary Chapman's "The 5 Love Languages," and take your own quiz to uncover your dominant love language. A spousal quiz will be included too. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself, but most importantly, you will learn how your style affects your personal relationships.

I'm a Holistic Mom bec
ause: it ends up that what
I believe about nutrition, health, children, families
birth, and alternative healing all happen to be
holistic! :-)

My holistic passions are: homeopathy, Bach flowers, traditional eating (Weston Price, Sally Fallon), growing a vegetable garden in our front yard, providing rhythm in our home for my family and sharing this with others.

What inspires me about Holistic Moms: Is that there is finally a community for women to connect with so they don't have to spend so much time on the internet when they ask the question..."Isn't there another way to...". How I wish I would have had this community back when my children were younger. Mothering Magazine only came every other month-but this is monthly. (And daily if you are on the Yahoo groups!)  Reach out to your community...they are insightful, delightful and willing to share.
