You've heard it before and you know it's true...
If Mama's Not Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy!
Likewise, we feel like when mama's not healthy...there goes the rest of the household. Since it's still April, I may be the first one to tell you Mother's Day is just a bit over a week away. Yikes! The dreaded Mother's Day gift...I don't know how many times I have scrambled around town, racked my brain, and email chained my siblings to discuss the perfect gift for Mom. How do you say thanks to the woman who carried you for 40 weeks and gave birth to you? (Or in my case, flew to St. Louis to meet my flight with the other adopted babies.) But thank goodness for Brian's sake that he has a wife who already thinks ahead for him so he doesn't have to go through this painful mental trauma. I just purchased my gift yesterday. (Your welcome, honey, and YES you were very grateful for me this year.)
This year, consider the gift that keeps on giving...mama's health! When you purchase a Conveniently Natural gift certificate (which we will conveniently mail or email), you will also receive a FREE COPY of Jess Ainscough's latest e-book, "Make Peace with Your Plate." I purchased this book a month or two ago and just couldn't stop. Here's an excerpt:
What would your life look like if you could eat whatever you wanted and you still looked in the mirror and saw someone you were completely in love with staring back at you? Imagine how much space you would have in your mind if it weren't occupied by so many destructive thoughts about food, and more importantly, what your food choices are doing to your ass, thighs, stomach or whatever other area of your body you pink and look at in digust...Most of us have such a tortured relationship with our food that we are forever caught up in a vicious cycle of deprivation, indulgence and guilt.
Whoa. I can't tell you how many women - old, young, single, married, mothers, grandmothers, thin, fit, post-partum, post-op, overweight, obese, happy, successful, depressed, desperate, hopeful, faithful - who feel this same way! Guilt and torture seem to be an equal opportunity attacker.
It's Time.
It's time for us to stop the madness, chaos, guilt, and all those stories that are keeping us from being wholly healthy. Give that favorite mom in your life a Conveniently Natural gift certificate this year!
