Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is traditionally a
time of gratitude, a special holiday that offers an entire day to
reflect on all we have to be thankful for.
I am reminded that life is so
precious and fleeting. All of our lives get so busy, yet how
important it is to make time to connect with the people that are
important to us.
Even if we don't speak
regularly, this newsletter is my chance to stay in touch with you.
My intention is to share thoughts of support and nourishment for
well-being, and hope that some of what I share will hold value for
you.
For me, it is the gift of family
and friends that are the riches in my life. Those precious times
that we hold dear to our heart, and memories that can never be
replaced by time nor all the wealth in the world.
Whether you have planned a grand
feast, an intimate candlelit dinner for two, or simple Chinese
take-out, it is not really about the food, but rather who we share
it with that counts.
I give thanks for all of you.
You have touched my life in so many different ways, and for this I
have the deepest gratitude.
Love
and Peace,
Beth Ann |

A Healthier
Sweet for the Holidays
We all know that sugar is a general nutritional hazard
contributing to many health problems. And for those of you who are
addicted to Splenda, just a reminder that Splenda contains many
toxic chemicals including chlorine ~ scary!
Until I was introduced to Xylitol I had not come across any
alternative that actually tasted good and is good for you!
It sounds like a chemical, but Xylitol is a naturally occurring
sugar derived from birch trees and corn cobs that contains 40% less
calories than sugar. It is very low on the glycemic index, so it's
safe for diabetics and has been proven to have great anti-bacterial
properties for medical and dental use. It actually helps prevent
cavities!
You can find it at health food stores. It looks and tastes just
like sugar with no strange aftertaste. Perfect for all your holiday
baking!
