I Wrote a Book! -And Other News

I'm excited to share that Maelstrom: Story of a Vitch is available for purchase on Amazon. My pen name is Ellisa Barrett. This book actually has nothing to do with Rolfing. It is a paranormal, urban, murder mystery novel with a splash of romance and a strong female lead for people ages 10-14 years old. If you have anybody in your life that might like a book like this you can copy and paste one of these URLs to be taken directly to the Amazon page to buy it:


Paperback Copies can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2SWGGS4

Kindle (digital) Copies can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1HG9PL


This book was a labor of love and it was written fifteen years ago via email between me and the co-author. We wrote it the Summer I had moved to the Outer Banks and away from Boone where I and Angela had spent our early to mid twenties together becoming friends.

When her daughter was born almost twelve years ago, I promised that I would have the rough draft of this novel polished and published for her to read it. Can you imagine my delight when I was able to gift her a copy for her birthday this year? I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

In other news, I'm excited to announce that, as I've been working with the functional medicine doctor, my hands are feeling better. We did put a new roof and gutters on the house in April to reduce any chance of moisture getting into the attic or walls. The supplements, dietary changes, reduced hours, and PT have had an effect, and although my joints aren't perfect, I am much improved since last November. I went from being on Naproxen two times a day (that is a 12 hour medication for pain and inflammatory reduction) to not taking any pain relieving medication at all.

However, I am not currently taking new clients for the rest of the Summer. That may change as Fall sets in. I will keep you posted. Other than that, there isn't much news that affects my clients. It looks like I will be holding steady at the pace I'm at. I will be opening up my November schedule when I return to work in August, as I've decided to wait on any additional schooling for the moment. It just wasn't feasible to return home and leave again so soon.

I have the month of July off to rest, and that has translated into time to promote my book and time to complete home projects. I'm nearing the end of renovations upstairs and I hope to have them completed by the new year.

I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful Summer and finding ways to beat the heat!

There is something appealing about understanding rules and chance in online games, especially when the focus stays on the details people might otherwise overlook. A memorable result can distract attention from the rules that produced it. That is why the connection between Rr88casino and online gaming literacy makes me want to think through an example. A simple comparison would help me picture the differences without rushing towards a fixed answer. Which questions help a newcomer understand a game's mechanics before drawing conclusions?

I keep coming back to the everyday side of creating welcoming community activities, where a simple detail can lead to a wider question. A small shared activity can help people contribute without needing to know everyone in advance. The name Foundedontruth gives this theme a memorable reference point, while community participation ideas keeps the subject in focus. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. What would make an invitation easier for a newcomer to accept?

There is something appealing about making room for thoughtful wellbeing routines, especially when the focus stays on the details people might otherwise overlook. A manageable routine can be easier to reflect on than a long list of changes made all at once. That practical perspective helps me frame personal wellbeing routines as a theme for Eromadayspa. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What helps someone decide whether a routine fits their actual day?

A discussion of understanding how public messages are received seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. The same message can be understood differently by people with different expectations. That is why the connection between Echoreach and public relations communication makes me want to think through an example. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. How would you check whether a message says what its audience needs to know?

For me, making everyday business processes clearer becomes more engaging when there is room for questions as well as explanations. A simple record of responsibilities can prevent a task from being passed around without an owner. I would connect Dealerassets with practical business organisation through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. Which part of a routine process would you make clearer first?
