Yay! There is a grocery store in Willow Glen in the neighborhood where I have my San Jose Nia Classes. This means I can pick up some things on the way home. I can anyway because my regular grocery store is not that far past my house, but sometimes I take the exit for my house before I remember I wanted to go to the store because I start thinking of all that I have to do. Once I am off the freeway and I actually have to pass my house to get to the store, I can easily talk myself into NOT going to the store. Ya know? So this store is pretty much right on my way home.
It is a tiny little market. The isles are so small two carts can barely fit down the same row. Just like the bigger stores they have so many extra bins and displays in the aisles (on the ends) there is no way to have two carts going down that way either. So it is kind of a place where you can actually run into your neighbors. 🙂 I was excited when I saw that there was no added trans fat and high fructose corn syrup. I had walked by the sign quickly so I had thought that all products in the store were like this. But as soon as I saw some products I am familiar with having those ingredients I realized that the sign said that Fresh and Easy products don’t have those ingredients. But they DO have Canola Oil so depending on what you believe in regards to that oil you will have to take that information with a grain of salt.
I did have a yummy sample of vanilla yogurt and granola. I was going to buy some of the granola because it tasted really good in the yogurt. Even though it didn’t have HFCS in it, or any partially hydrogenated oil, it did have canola oil in it so I didn’t buy it. Canola oil is not easy to avoid so when I don’t need the product I am not going to buy it. I am not going to buy a product new to me that has Canola oil in it.
They do have their own brand of Teryaki without HFCS. YAY! I have had teryaki in months because I’ve only seen kind with HFCS in it. It doesn’t taste very “teryaki-y”. Its first ingredient is soy sauce and that is pretty much what it tastes like. But it is not bad.
I think they have a lot of interesting looking prepared food. I didn’t look at all of them to see the ingredients, but I will check it out as I have the need. They did have water crackers about $3.00 cheaper than my regular store. I was excited to try them. The box I open is very crumbly. They are dry. They are not as good as the water Crackers at Trader Joe’s that are the same price.
One thing that will keep me from filling up my cart and doing ALL my shopping at this new little neighborhood market is self-check out. I don’t want to spend my time shopping and checking out the ingredients, looking, deciding, menu planning and thinking—-just to have to spend even MORE time checking myself out. I only had a few items and it took me what seemed like forever to just find the bar codes on the items. I understand that this is one way that a store can keep the prices down, but I did notice and I heard other people say that many items in the store were MORE expensive than other stores we frequent. I don’t have to check my own groceries at the other stores.
And I don’t need to mention how great the checkers at Trader Joe’s do I? I love the checkers at Traders Joe’s.
Anyway . . . I am excited to have a little market to stop in on my way home to pick up a few things. As I said, I won’t be doing the bulk of my shopping here but it really is a great thing that this area of Willow Glen has a grocery store.

Do you collect anything? My husband collects shot glasses. He has them from all over. ALL over . . . . . . even space. This one is probably from the furthest away. This is a shot glass from Ferenginar 🙂 . Ferengi is from the Star Trek Empire.
You might be able to see it is made up of two pieces. The metal piece made up of rings that hold the glass “shot glass” portion. It is a fun design. I guess it is perfect for off world shot taking. I don’t know if he has ever drank out of it. Now that I think about it is quite funny. He collects shot glasses, but he doesn’t really drink shots. He does like to buy a shot glasses from places we have been. So it is the collecting of the item that brings him pleasure. It is a bonus if the shot glass is cool or unusual.
Because I started this blog to promote Nia, my Nia classes, and grow in my Nia practice by writing and posting about it, I always have Nia in the back of my mind when I am writing a post. Even if it has nothing to do with Nia, like this one. It is about collecting, it is to share picture of this particular shot glass. But as I was typing the part about my husband collecting shot glass because it makes him happy, it brings him pleasure I thought of a comparison to Nia.
The similarity is that he doesn’t really like to drink shots, a person could not really like to workout or exercise. My hubby likes to buy shot glasses, it brings him pleasure, Nia is a dance, if you like to dance it brings pleasure. If the shot glass is cool or unusual it is better, Nia is cool, it is unusual, it is different. The fact that John doesn’t really drink shots doesn’t mean that it is not nice to have shot glasses around in case he wants one so he gets the benefits of owning them. Nia doesn’t really FEEL like exercise because the participants are involved in a movement that bring pleasure, but since we are moving in all different ways, up down, around, fast, slow, and engaging so many body parts and muscles it IS a workout. You DO receive benefits as you do when you do traditional exercise.
Funny how things can be connected. Funny how things can be collected. Do you collect anything? What?

I believe teaching Nia in the San Francisco Bay Area allows me to be exposed to a lot of different things. Recently I was able to experience or try two different things. Regarding one of them, I was showing a friend after Nia class, a product that a mutual friend sells. I was explaining what it was for and she said, “It’s a placebo.” This past week I asked a question on Twitter about a healing technique and I was told it was a placebo. These instances make me chuckle. I believe that if one is in a medical study and is told that they might receive the actual medicine or they might receive a placebo, that is applicable. When someone purchases a product or a service completely open to the idea that it might work and then they feel it does work, how can it be called a placebo? If it works for them in a positive manner, if they receive the help they were expecting, then how can it be called a placebo or just said to have the placebo effect? Could that not be said for a lot of things?
I once read a blog which has since been marked private so I can’t link to it, but it talked about all the “placebos” in everyday life. The blog stated that the buttons on traffic signals don’t actually work, they are just there to make people feel as if they have some control. The same with elevator call buttons and, if I remember correctly, thermostat controls in hotel rooms. Hmmm, I don’t actually know about the traffic lights and elevators, but I have had temperatures adjust in hotel rooms, so I think he might have been talking about some hotel rooms. Don’t we ALL press the buttons on traffic signals? And we all press elevator buttons? Do we do that because we actually think it does something? Yes. We might never know if it does actually help because eventually the light will change and eventually the elevator is going to come and by pressing the button it actual stops on the floor we are waiting on.
In regards to some products and some services for our bodies where we are left to decide if it works or not for ourselves, do you think that any of it has to do with what we think? Does any of it have to do with what we believe? I am somewhat talking about something that is difficult to measure. If you buy a lotion and you put it on you can somewhat tell if it is helped your skin. But what about a relaxation product?
Did you drink the tea believing it would help relax you and it did? Was that the actual tea or was it you believing that after you drank the tea you would feel relaxed? Did you believe that putting on cold wet socks (with dry wool socks over) would help your cold and you wake up feeling better? Was that really the wet sock treatment or your BELIEVING in the treatment?
If you feel is works is it a “placebo”?

These are my fingerless gloves, yeah, they’re from Yelp, how’d you know?
I am a Californian, I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area so I am not used to this weather. We have had snow, rain, sleet, hail, rain, wind, cold, cold, cold, cold. No, it is not as cold as other parts of the country. It is not blizzard conditions or in the negative temps, but it is WAY colder than I am used to. So today, since I didn’t have a Nia class to teach, I spent most of the day under blankets with gloves on and drinking hot water. So for my post I thought I would just share some strange facts from a list one of my friends sent me. I am doing a quick post so I can get back under my blankets. I didn’t check these facts so I don’t know if they are true . . . they are just some of those strange facts you hear about. Some of them I am sure you can attest to yourself, #2, maybe? Or #9, or #16? We’ve all been around that four year old, right?
1–Ketchup was sold in the 1830’s as a medicine.
2–There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos.
3–Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to slow a film down so you could see his moves. That’s the opposite of the norm.
4–Mosquito repellents don’t repel… They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito’s sensors so they don’t know you’re there.
5–Dentists recommend that a toothbrush be kept at least six feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.
6–The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.
7–The “pound” (#) key on your keyboard is called an octothorp.
8–The average person’s left hand does 56% of the typing.
9–It’s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
10–In Chinese, the KFC slogan “finger lickin’ good” comes out as “eat your fingers off”.
11–A cockroach can live without a head for 10 days.
12–We shed 40 pounds of skin a lifetime.
13–Yo-Yos were once used as weapons in the Philippines
14–Brains are more active sleeping than watching TV.
15–Blue is the favorite color of 80 percent of Americans.
16–The average four year-old child asks over four hundred questions a day.
17–A person will die from a total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur after about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a few weeks.
18–Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.
19–Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, never telephoned his wife or mother because they both were deaf.
So, what do you think? Have you experienced any of these to be true? Do you doubt any of them? Do you believe any of them?

So, I have been holding my Nia classes even with my injured toe. I limit my movement and coach the participants to move in their own body’s way as is the norm with Nia. So there are movements I can’t do. Even outside of Nia I can’t. I have been limiting all of my activity so that I can “save my foot/toe” for my Nia classes. There have been events and outings I have missed because “I can’t”. There have been goings-on and happenings I’ve skipped because “I can’t.” I can’t. I can’t because I am saving my movement. When I do a lot of normal activity my toe gets “tired” and swells and throbs, so I can’t do a lot of stuff. I have put this limitation on myself so that I can continue to move in my class. I have restricted my movements outside of class so that I can do as much as I can inside of class. I have placed “can” and “can’t” guides on myself.
This past week I was talking to a friend about something and I heard “I can’t” a lot. It occurred to me that I have been saying that a lot too. I can’t go here or there because I have to rest my foot. There it is. I have put restrictions on myself. I want my foot to heal so I won’t allow myself to do certain things so that I can accomplish this other thing.
I can’t.
By saying “I can’t” we put restrictions and limitations our ourselves. We do this to ourselves. So can’t you? Really? Is that word serving you? In the case of my foot, I do believe it is serving me. I really believe by restricting myself from doing too much I am allowing it to heal. The doctors always say “stay off the foot”. So that is what I am doing. But . . . .since I am saying that so much lately it is allowing me to see where I say it in other areas of my life. It is as if I only have so many allowances where I can say that and since I am having to say it for my foot the other times I am saying it, it sticks in my mouth and I think, “Why can’t I?”
Can I not because I have told myself that? Can I not because I have imposed this limitation, this restriction on myself? Is this a “good” I can’t? Or is this an “I can’t” that is squelching my growth? If I were to say “I can” instead would there be an opportunity to learn something? To experience something new? To have an adventure into something different?
Hmmmmm? The POWER of “I can’t” has come to light. I know, I have heard it before the positive thinking versus the negative thinking, but this is not necessarily positive versus negative. Sometimes it could just be laziness or just the I- don’t-know-what-that-will-do-so-I-can’t kind of thing. I believe that “can’t” sometimes is the correct response, but I am evaluating that. So interesting to me.
What about you? Interesting? What “CAN’T” you do? What “CAN’T” you do that you know will be good for you? What “CAN’T” you do even though you know it will benefit your health? Why “CAN’T” you do something? Is it because you just haven’t before so you can’t possibly now? Hmmmmm? All kinds of questions and ideas, huh?
For me, I am stopping and thinking before I say I can’t. Even if my answer or comment is me saying, “No.” I am going to try my hand at rephrasing it and instead of just saying, “I can’t”, I am going to give a more accurate answers. Because often times, I probably CAN, I just . . . . well, whatever the reason.
This toe thing really has me thinking . . . . a lot.

Just recently, I learned that one of my Nia students is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. She has been attending my Nia classes for about two years and when I first met her she said she taught Pilates, so I thought that was her primary job. It is actually funny because I have been looking for a holistic doctor. One day after class she asked how my toe was doing and said something like, let me think about it and see what I have and I’ll let you know. I thought, ok. The next class she brought me a sample of something and a homeopathic treatment/instructions where it stated she was an ND. Ha, the things you learn.
Anyway, the second I got home I looked for cotton socks and wool socks. We didn’t have any that I could accurately identify. And I really didn’t think that walking around shopping was the best thing for my foot/toe. There were times that I had to do things, as in get groceries or take care of some bank business, but shopping was not a high priority. I waited until I could enlist the help of mom! Yup. She ran around and got me some wool socks.
Anyway . . . the therapy is this:
1. Warm your feet, either by soaking them or by taking a bath.
2. Dry your feet.
3. Wet a pair of cotton socks. Make sure they are completely wet with cold water.
4. Wring the socks out so they are not dripping.
5. Put the socks on. Yes! Put the socks on your nicely warmed feet.
6. Cover the cold wet cotton socks with the dry wool socks.
7. Go to bed! Cover up like you normally would.
All of the various instructions I have read said to make certain that you don’t get chilled. So the idea is to put the wet socks on, then the dry socks and go directly to bed.
When you wake up the socks will be dry and your feet warm.
This treatment is said to aid with congestion and upper respiratory infections. Information says it helps with headaches, migraines, colds, infections, sore throats, ear infections, cough and bronchitis. Also, helps with cold feet due to poor circulation. Some things say it helps relieve pain and promote healing.
Since your feet have cold wet socks on your body has to keep your feet warm so it sends the blood to your feet. This wet sock therapy gets your blood moving!
I found it made my feet really soft. Same as putting lotion on then putting socks on. I found that I slept really well. At first I was thinking of this treatment as just something to do for my toe, but now that I actually tried it. I can see how it could help with other things. It was a momentary challenge for me to think of putting on wet socks, but then I realized my student wasn’t just making this up to help me, this is a TREATMENT. It just took me awhile to get the right socks. Neither my cotton nor the wool socks are 100% but they are as close as we could find. I would think the higher the percentage the better.
The instructions I’ve read suggest you do it at least three nights in a row. I did that. I was too tired on the fourth night, which I think is good, but I might try it again tonight. I think it really helped. Oh, also, I skipped the warming step. I started at #3. Maybe if my feet were cold in the first place I would warm them first.
So what do you think? Are you willing to try it? If you do, please let me know your results.

I love Nia because I think of it as a way I can help people change their lives. I believe movement is the key to maintaining flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability in the body. I believe that FAMSS are necessary components to leading a high quality life. I also believe there are other way people can inspire others.
One day in the mail I received a card. Here are pictures of it.



It is obviously a handmade card. The flowers sparkle, not just the “gems” in the middle but the flowers are sparkly. I love this card. I had it in my kitchen in the middle of my peninsula so that I could see both the front AND the back. It ALWAYS — no matter what — makes me smile.
This was sent to me from a fake friend. I say “fake” just so people who qualify their friends with labels such as “real” and “in real life”/IRL can understand that I have never met this woman face to face. I have only become friends with her through online portals or social networks. First I believe it was a friend’s blog. Then my blog and her blog or her blog and my blog, then Twitter. Or maybe it was Twitter then the blogs. Then Facebook. Yeah, I am sure Facebook was last. There was even some e-mail. And let’s not forget . . . . US Mail . . . . snail mail. My card.
My card that was made for me and sent to me by someone I have never met f2f (face to face), although the card proves that she is real. Very real. Also, the card is real life. I live my life and I look at that card. I actually have it in my office now which is much better because I see it for longer periods of time. It is in my line of sight. I have it to make me smile. I have it to inspire me. It inspires me to be inspired. It inspires me to want to inspire people.
It sparkles at me, reminding me to count the happies.
Aroused by divine influence, filled with reverent emotion, stimulated into action all by a true friend that filled a place I didn’t know was empty.

It is the end of January and like every year I end up with a Christmas Tree Ornament separate from the Christmas stuff. I think it began the Christmas of 2000. My husband’s sister gave us a Christmas Tree ornament for Christmas. It was a Lenox ornament. It is a snow flake made of gold metal and china. The china is on top of the metal. At the time of this posting I don’t have a picture of it because it IS put up with the Christmas stuff and I didn’t know I was going to be posting about my ornaments. I might be able to find a picture eventually. (01.31.11, I found a picture with the first ornament in it. It is not a great shot because it was of the entire tree. I cropped it.) Anyway, this ornament started my love of Lenox ornaments. I went online and discovered they have a lot of Christmas Tree ornaments. They even have a club that you can join and you receive an annual Snow Flake.
I always admire my snowflakes. Every time I put them out I grab one and I say, “Oh, this year is my favorite.” Then I pick up another one and say, “No, THIS is my favorite.” Then I pick up the next one . . . and well, you can see where this is going.
The annual ornament is delivered after the first of the year and it never fails no matter how late into January that we pack up our Christmas stuff the ornament arrives after all the boxes are up. So I always end up with at least that one waiting around all year to be put with the other Christmas stuff. One year I forgot about it entirely and it didn’t make it on the tree OR even up with the Christmas stuff until the follow year.
This year when I received my ornament I opened it with all the excitement one has when receiving a gift and I was disappointed. The shape is nice and the sparkles on it are red and green, which is fine. But the gold painted on the ornaments is haphazard and careless. It states that it has been hand painted. I thought the reason for advertising something was hand painted was to explain the care that went into the product and to astonish people with the beautiful skill, not be an excuse for a job poorly done. I am saddened. Here I normally love the quality that comes from Lenox and this is very sub par. I am disappointed.
This latest snowflake has me wondering . . . . if this is the direction the product is headed it might be the last year I accept it. It is one of those clubs where they send you a product and you can send it back. You don’t have to keep it. Even though it is not that great I am going to keep it, because it is part of the collection. When I told my husband about it, the first thing he asked was, “Are you going to keep it?” When I said yes, he looked at my as if to say “then why are you wasting my time telling me about it?”
I have been buying the annual ornament for ten years, I will give them next year. If the same poor quality comes out then I will cancel. My hubby said there was also no point in contacting the company to explain my dis-satisfaction. I am not entirely convinced that is true, but he caused me to think it would be a waste of time. So, I am just sharing it here. As I often do.
Do you have a club that you belong to where you receive a product? Have you belonged to a club where you have seen the quality of the product decline? It is a bummer.

There are dogs in my neighborhood that bark all the time. I always think that the people who own the dogs should give the dogs some attention or tell the dogs to be quiet. It just dawned on me today that they probably aren’t even home. Then upon further reflection I realized that the dog that barks all day long is advertising that no one is home. It is like a big neon sign telling people no one is home.
We always had a dog. I love dogs. Our dogs were our pets. They came in the house. We played with the dogs. We actually only had one at a time. We took her camping. We walked the dog. The dog had a huge house out in the corner of a covered deck. She always went outside at night. Every once in a while we would let her stay in, but sometimes even when it was raining she would rather go outside. It was her job. She was a guard dog. When she barked we listened. When she barked we would go look to see what she was barking at. When we saw nothing we told her she was a good girl, but that was enough. She was not allowed just to bark for no reason. None of our dogs were.
Our neighbors knew that our dogs didn’t just bark. If the dog was barking our neighbors would investigate if we were not home, because our dogs did not just bark to bark. So it had me thinking today that if the people are home they are neglecting the dog. And, if they are not home, which is probably the case, their dog is letting everyone know that no one is home.
Since the dog barks all the time, I would never even think to wonder if something is going on at the house. It could be that someone is trying to break in the house, but I would never even think of that because the dog doesn’t stop barking . . . so it wouldn’t occur to me. Even worse the occupants of the house could have fallen and not be able to get up and no one would ever know to check because the dog barking constantly is a normal thing.
There is a dog in our neighborhood that only barks when something is going on. When that dog barks I grab my phone and go look. The dog’s owners have trained that dog and trained him well. I forget he is even there. One time I was near his property and I was talking to someone and we were there for a few minutes then all of a sudden “WOOF!” Scared me, because, as I said, I forgot they had a dog. It was as if he was ok with us being right outside his fence, but after a few minutes he decided to remind us that he was there and we had better move along. To me, that dog protects that house and is a good watch dog for the entire neighborhood. He lets his owners and neighbors know if something is going on. As I said, when that dog barks, I pay attention. If that dog barked non-stop I would know something was wrong.
The dog that barks all the time though, it could be putting its house and the neighbor’s houses at risk. I mean if that dog barks because no one is home then it really is like a big flashing neon sign that the house is empty. Can’t believe I just thought of that today. Hmmm.

It was late Sunday night (January 23, 2011), when I learned Jack LaLanne died. I was sad. I am often sad when celebrities die. They often represent a lot to us, whether it be a generation of music, an idea, a movement, whatever . . . .their celebrity makes them larger than life. I think Jack was one of those larger than life type of people. He was amazing. He was an inspiration.
He was a junk food junkie. Granted he changed his ways when he was 15, still he changed. Also, I still maintain that the “junk food” back then was a lot different then what it is today. Today it is more full of chemicals and it is way overprocessed.
Jack was born in San Francisco in 1914. He opened his first gym in 1936 in Oakland. And according to his website; he “designed the world’s first leg extension machines, pulley machines using cables, and weight selectors”. Jack believed in fitness, whole body wellness. He originally went to school pre-med, but then decided he wanted to help PREVENT illness instead of treat illnesses. Our entire medical structure is based on treatment of illness. I believe the fitness industry is based on the prevention of illness.
His ideas were so advance for what was known at the time regarding health, fitness, and entire body/mind wellness. He felt that working out with weights was good for everyone. He felt exercise was good for both the body and the mind. He was a pioneer.
He also managed some amazing feats.
He swam the length of the Golden Gate Bridge underwater, while he was 40 years old. It was 1954 and he was carrying 140s of equipment. He also set a record by doing 1,033 pushups. He did it in 23 minutes, he was 42. He towed a 2,500 pound cabin cruiser while swimming the Golden Gate Channel when he was 43. The SECOND time he swam the length of the Golden Gate he was towing a 1,000 pound boat AND he was handcuffed.
He also received many recognitions and awards. Some called him to the godfather of fitness. He was an innovator. He was 96 when he died. He died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia. I would like to say, thank you to Mr. LaLanne for bringing fitness, health and the tools for wellness to so many people.
