PRAY LOVE like every other woman that I knew Thank goodness for eight years of building (PhillyFIT) connections. I whipped out my address book and bingo: Susie Beiler - she is my ongoing “oils gal” now. She’s from Spectrum Health Consulting and is a walking/talking gorgeous essential oil within herself. Then added my new herbalists helping me out from Bunn's Health Food store in Southampton, PA. Man, can someone just lock me in that store overnight, and let me play What a magical place for finding every health and healing need in the world! My new sandbox! Then my PhillyFIT Chef, John Fairchild, continues to feed me amazing recipes and nutrition tips, along with the redheaded beauty and Vegan chef/TV star Christina Pirello. She too provides me with the utmost in healthy recipes and insights that I like to think I am ready to embrace whole-heartedly. Not a shabby team to make my health and healing goals my reality! And, I can share them with my entire family; all seven of them are on board with me! I’m not nearly as alone as I had thought I was. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Think today’s essential oils are nothing but snake oils Think again! Today’s products are custom tailored to soothe, calm and nourish. I personally use the following popular oils, but this will change from month to month according to my needs. “Thieves” – I am using Young Living Oils: highly effective in supporting the immune system. “Valor” – great for balance and to align the body. “Harmony” – well, for what the word says a more harmonious life, physical and mental well being. “Joy” – for more happiness in my life (the dishwashing liquid didn’t cut it. Ha!) This oil creates magnetic energy and joy to the heart. “Breathe” – an amazing concoction that allowed me to ditch the rescue inhaler (totally helps my breathing as I have asthma). “Lemon/Orange Jolt” – It gives me a spirited lift and is very cleansing. I truly believe in splendid aromatics and mystical powers of pheromones. I think the power of smell goes along way – it’s almost like listening to a song – a mood changer. It’s like acupuncture for wussies. Again, it may be a placebo affect, but I really don’t care. The point is that I’m doing it for me and it’s working. I rub the oils on my feet... so nice! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * And now onto the nutrition component. I am very happy with the veggie protein powders I’ve found at Bunns and also at Whole Foods, this one in particular has a gazillion fruits and veggies. It’s called "RAW Meal" and contains twenty-six Superfoods, RAW Organic Sprouts, Seeds and Greens, and thirty-four grams of protein. It totally helps satisfy my relentless hunger. I mostly take it as a breakfast before my workouts so I get through an active day without starving and losing concentration. And, I don’t eat much meat, so this is a great protein source for me. It’s really the gasoline that makes this car run. It gives me the zing that I need, especially when that 3:00pm hour hits and I’m jonesing for a Snicker’s Bar. It fills me up and makes me feel like Wonder Woman! Next, I swear by the "B" vitamins for energy and a women’s mega multi-vitamin. And Omega 3’s, I know there’s no such thing as a miracle pills, but when I take these nutrients I feel turbocharged. This is a good thing because I’ve been working out three times a week on average. Once I got back to regular exercise. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * So, I’ve got the healer, the oils and some darn good nutritional habits going on but there are still some healing things I want to incorporate as the weather gets warmer and the clothes show more skin. Ugh. Here are few things on my healing bucket list: Yoga Massage Zumba Chi Gong breathing exercises Spend quality time with my children Retail Therapy (yes, I’m a sucker for a nice new sundress and strappy sandals. Whatever!) Going to church on Sunday (don’t laugh) I came across this quote recently and it really resonated with me so I thought I’d share it with my loyal PhillyFIT readers. Enjoy. I want to really, really live. I want to laugh til my stomach tightens so much that it aches and my legs hurt from my slapping them. I want to cry from my gut and let the tears wash me to where I need to go. I want to hear the singing of my heart. and let the sounds echo inside me and I want to dance to that music. I want to fill with compassion and touch someone's face so gently that they can feel the caring in my fingertips. I want to love so deeply that my cells vibrate with it and just standing near me you can feel the buzz of the vibrations. I want to know that I'm worthy and good and I want to leave self doubt on the highway. I want to touch the sky and recognize my soul in it. I want to walk in the rain and drop to my knees in gratitude for this gift of life I have been given. MayI never ever forget what a gift it truly is. — Teresa St. Cloud This spring, dance to that music and heal! Write me and tell me what you do to heal - I’d love to know!

letterstothepublisher Jami, I'm new to the area and just discovered your magazine. Wow, it's got such a friendly "voice" and high energy content. Fantastic! Thank you for your efforts, and all the best of health, wealth and love in 2012! Spencer L Baker LCDR, SC, USN Crossfit L1 Trainer Hello, I stumbled across your magazine a few months ago and I was very impressed. I just wanted to say, keep up the great work. I constantly use to try to always stay focused on my exercising, it’s often hard to fit in dedication to exercising with my demanding schedule. Your magazine allows me to remember everyone goes threw the same struggles and just keep trying. I'm a choreographer and I struggle with eating the wrong things even my job demands me to stay fit. Food is tempting and I am blessed to dance as a profession, otherwise I wouldn't be fit. When I work out with my clients I let them know my struggles to let them know that it's just as hard for me as it is for them. I want them to know I know their struggles equally and we will get this done together. Please keep it coming. I love your articles, discounts and deals. And what I love best is that everyone is local. I just feel that I can relate to them more than the world fitness magazine. Thanks for keeping me Fit! Sprite' Choreographer Hi Jami, You absolutely inspire me each issue. I still remember the publisher pages you wrote not long after your daughter was born 12 I PhillyFIT (four and a half years ago!) I’ve been reading since then! Even then, you seemed to be in tune with something I was going through. Thank you so much for publishing your magazine! I love it. How do you do it ALL Jennifer Ritorto Membership & Marketing Director Lower Bucks Family YMCA Jami, I just read your Publisher’s Page article while sitting at CHOP waiting for my son’s appointment. GOOD JOB, again I love your “matter of fact, no bullshit” style of writing! I just sat there smiling as I was reading it, nodding my head…as if I was in a conversation with you. My son would look over at me (while he was in the middle of his physical therapy exercise) and say “Why are you smiling” I replied, “Oh, it’s just Jami….” Lisa Davis Jami, You and your team always write such interesting and inspiring articles in PhillyFIT...I always look forward to reading them. I am often inspired by the young people who get involved and are inspired by fitness! Karin Maitin Jami, I really respect you, your publishing, your drive, your personal fitness and beauty, your business sense, etc. You have a big fan here. Keep up the great work sister!
