Grateful November Greetings
Happy Friday!! I truly hope you are each having wonderful days!! We are enjoying our third month in our new home for Bellas! The improved parking, alone, is reason to celebrate!! Not to mention room to move around, and room for new merchandise and new services! We now have all our classes at Bellas, a FULL TIME Massage Therapist, and Hair Services, including manicures and pedicures. We have also added Healing Touch Therapy on Thursdays, and Chimene Green will be offering her services on Saturdays. Be sure to read their bios later in this email!! There is so much to choose from~ drumming, Shamanic journeying classes, guided meditation, drum therapy sessions, special one day classes and events including Divination, Essential oils, and a special meditation and Yoga class for 11-11-11. Be sure to check out the calendar for reminders and more info!! Each year around this time, I write out my list of Thank Yous and share them wih you. I feel it is so important to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. It really goes a long way toward keeping us grounded in the things that really matter. That is why I choose NOT to decorate for the Holidays until after Thanksgiving. I feel (like many of you do as well) that this Holiday often gets looked over. It's a shame, because it is the one time of year we collectively stop and check in with the things that we are grateful for in our lives. Our society has become so results driven without much downtime or room for reflection and actual relaxation!! So, in the spirit of gratitude, I would like to share some things with you. Hope we see you soon, and until then, know you are loved. Namaste~ Jen
I am so grateful for the 22 years I spent being my mother's daughter before she died. She was a light unto this world, and if I am half the woman she was, then I feel like I am accomplished. Rest in Peace Mamma.
I am so grateful for my husband Matthew, and that our love has grown stronger and stronger with each passing day. Marriage takes work and commitment. Life is not always perfect or ideal, but it is nice to be surrounded by the ones we love and know we can count on. I am also grateful for his family. They are so wonderful in so many ways, and it is nice to be amongst like-minded and like-hearted people.
I am so grateful for my family. My sister and her family, and my brothers and their families. My nieces and nephews are the light of my life at times! How awesome to watch them grow up and become the people they set out to be! New beginnings, mistakes, accomplishments...reminders of this thing we call life!
I am so grateful for Belladonnas, and all that she provides, not just for me, but for so many. The community that we are cultivating is something I hope will last for generations to come. A place to play, a place to heal, a place to learn, and a place to call home. Thank you to each of you that has ever walked through the door, bought a pack of incense, taken a class, or just thought about me in some way~ your prayers and good wishes keep me going on the days when I am feeling down. It means the world to me.
I am so grateful for my best friend Rhonda. Without her humor, love, support, friendship, and encouragement I know I would be lost!
I am so grateful for my Spiritual family. Those of you who have taken the time to get to know me, and surround me with your love and light~ I thank you.
I am so grateful for Majestic's Sacred Grove. You each give me inspiration and a reason to learn more, do more, and be more.
I am so grateful to every Spiritual mentor I have ever had, you have each taught me so much in so many ways. Your advice, your readings, your energy work...has all been invaluable to me!
To my Ariachne Spider, Keeper of the Shoppe on Pendleton (she died the last day we were open on Pendleton Street), thank you for helping me create the way.
And to my beloved Sabrina, my familiar of 16 years...I feel your loss so deeply as I type this...Thank you for the days and nights of unconditional love and understanding, thank you for teaching me what love is, for being my friend, for sleeping beside me on the bed and keeping me company in some of the darkest (and brightest) times in my life. Also, for letting me be a part of your passing from this life into the Summerlands. It was so powerful to experience that with you in my arms, purring until the very last breath. I love you and I miss you.

Healing Touch Therapy with Lee Rumble $65/hour What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch is a biofield therapy that encompasses a group of non-invasive techniques that utilize the hands to clear, energize and balance the human and environmental energy fields. Healing Touch was developed as a nursing continuing education program by Janet Mentgen, RN, BSN. Healing Touch is an intervention that may be used to restore, energize and rebalance an energy field disturbance. Healing Touch is a collection of energy-based modalities. The hands of the healer may be around the client’s body or may lightly touch the body. This can be done anywhere such as a chair or on a massage table. Research supports that Healing Touch speeds healing, helps with pain relief and decreases anxiety and stress. It is used with traditional medical treatments and procedures. For Example, it is used before, during and after surgery to assist recovery and healing.
