Eclectic Lotus

 Now, if you are not new to this blog you know that I am currently working on another site which would include another blog because I like blogging but never have the time.  So, this is an extremely short entry as I am advertising my most recent blog post from my professional website.  https://www.jadeorchidwellness.com/post/where-are-the-centenarians-blue-zones As far as is life, it has been busy but I was not expecting for a flood of patients to come in as soon as I open my doors. It can be daunting at times but I am trying to work as best as I can to get all the information of my office out there to the public. Most of my day in the office consists of sending off emails both personal and professional, some graphics to add and learn into social media, may be some work for my remote position, and scheduling times when to head to some doctor's office.

 Joy "a feeling of great pleasure and happiness." I have been wanting to look that up for a while. I was interviewed recently about this word and how I apply Joy and keep a joyful outlook. If you know me personally, I am a pretty happy person. I smile so much, I was nicknamed, "Cheeser" by a classmate because I "cheese" a lot. I always have a smile and a happy disposition. Where does that come from? Why am I like this? I say it is because I am blessed with a remarkable family and extended family but what about when there are dark sides to the family. Here is a video of me explaining what joy means to me for Linking All Women. Their website is below. Please check them out!

  Release Date April 2, 2002 Because Spotify is late, I just received word that this album is over 20 years old! Since I have been writing and speaking on health and chiropractic for a while, I figure this would be a fluff piece to distract me from the madness of my current life by reflecting on my younger life. This CD stayed in my three-disc stereo system while I was in college. I was emotional and rampant. I switched my major from Biology to English and was quite the flirt. 2002 was the year that I began taking Spanish and realized I was pretty good. I was working, traveling, and doing well in college as this was my fourth year of school and didn't quite want to graduate. I was also 2 years without living in the same state as my mother and had a great friend to spend my free moments with. We went to free Sunday sundays at McDonald's for a 29-cent cone. I went to the clubs on the weekend and some Thursdays in the city. I was a bit of a recluse at this time but the music from ...

  When in Business, I already knew it was not for the weak. Putting your skin in the game is really something. There have been some setbacks but I knew that was going to happen. I have been pretty positive about the whole thing until recently. I needed a boost in my morale. My children are on Spring Break so I did what any mom would do- I took my kids on vacation for three days. I also went and had my hair retwisted and treated myself to some vegan Mexican food: The next day we were off and running! We first stopped in Springfield, IL. Back in November 2019, prior to the pandemic, we took a family road trip to  Baton Rouge, LA  where we saw Louisiana's State Capital. It's a skyscraper! There was no one to give us a tour but I'm glad we walked around. The place was almost similar to an art deco feel. The elevator took you to the top floor and there in the top was a view of downtown Baton Rouge with the refineries in the distance and waterways. It was relaxing and peaceful ...
