Duchess of Downtown Tacoma

Well: that's the theme of this weeks Wellness blog. Well, actually, "well" is always the theme of the Wellness Wednesday blog. OK, now that we're clear on that, let's get on with it. Shall we? :) Get off your ass and take a walk. That's what I've been telling myself all week as I sat behind a computer designing my Duchess of Downtown playing cards. The sun was shining and everyone was posting all their fun summer pictures on facebook and I was in my girl cave staring at Photoshop. Then came their beautiful sunset pictures. Then nightlife and city lights photos. Finally I got done with my project and the sun was gone but it was plenty warm enough for a nice walk nevertheless.

Everyone is talking about it, including Ocryx and Joe :   If you want the details about what happened you can read Sonia's blog where she gives daily updates on what is happening.    Sonia and Michael Jewell are always the first one to help their friends in need so its not surprising that in this crisis our community is gathering forces to help them through this. There is an online fundraising effort happening HERE and a benefit is being discussed potentially at O'Malley's on August 11th (this is very tentative information at this point - more details will be released as plans firm up).     Clara Spa   1506 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402 Connect on Facebook 253.682.2005 http://www.ClarasSpa.com I've had such a...

The secrets to wellness are not unknown. Its perfectly obvious that all we need to do to be well is to take proper care of ourselves. If you owned a racehorse you would obviously feed it the best food, groom it with the best techniques possible and exercise it regularly. Yet, are we not ourselves racehorses? Do we not ourselves deserve the same treatment as a champion? I ask you this week to feed, groom and train your body like it was your own very valuable racehorse, indeed the ONLY racehorse you will ever own.
