 be our goal, and Tim O’Neill might at least have noted such possibilities.Full disclosure: The individual mentioned in this post is a friend of mine. While I try to stay unbiased in all of my reviews, this one might not be as objective.
I have been interested in essential oils and aromatherapy since 2007/2008 when some serious skin conditions convinced me to switch from conventional cleaning products to green cleaning products. From conventional body care to plant and essential oil based products. I read some books, did internet and database research, and listened to interviews about the wonders of “natural” products.
Some of the interviews mentioned local practitioners knowledgeable in aromatherapy. The practitioners shared information about essential oils, but did not put much value in aromatherapy. Then authors started publishing recipes for home made cleaners and diffusers using essential oils.
So I experimented with these recipes and stopped investigating aromatherapy for other purposes. But I kept my ears open for more information and educational opportunities.
I was still interested, but did not have the time or opportunity to explore at the time.
Quite a few different practitioners mentioned aromatherapy to me once they discovered my sensitivity to chemicals and petroleum based products. Then a friend of mine (Corey H.) mentioned she was finishing her certification to become an aromatherapist and was looking for case study volunteers. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to try using essential oils and aromatherapy with minimal risk.
She sent me some intake questionnaires and instructions for sending the information back. We corresponded a few times for clarification and decision making about what symptoms to address. Then she sent me a special blend of massage oil for topical pain/anxiety/PTSD symptom management. That was in October.
The massage oil arrived around the time my body hurt a lot and I got sick with a cold. I used it on my head and neck at first. Then tried it on my arms and shoulders. My back, hips, thighs, and knees were next. The ideal time for me was after a shower or just before bed unless there was acute pain during the work day.
The scent helped me stay grounded when I felt myself slipping into dissociation. The oil itself helped my muscles relax and activate again. It was scary at first because I didn’t recognize the sensations in those parts of my body; they had been numb for a long time. But then I noticed my feet changing position and my balance improving. My knees hurt less, and my inner thigh muscles started flexing and relaxing – something that hasn’t happened in over 15 years. When I used it on my abdominal area, my digestion and breathing improved. And some of the bloating/swelling from muscle pain and body memories went away.
As this trend continued, I started to use the massage oil less. Not because it was less effective, but because I started to feel anxious and overwhelmed by the new sensations in my body and needed a break. The positive changes have continued and still help me move better, experience less pain, and manage the body memories better.
But please, only contact her if you are seriously interested in aromatherapy or in participating in her case study.
Even if Corey wasn’t my friend, I’d still recommend her as an aromatherapist and aromatherapy as a coping technique for mental health symptoms. She has been professional, compassionate, respectful, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire process.
Jordan Cardenas fulfilled a personal dream when he hit a first-inning lead-off home run at Lamade Stadium Friday.
What he did in the fourth inning helped bring Southwest champ San Antonio, Texas, one step closer to achieving a team and citywide dream.
Cardenas stranded the bases loaded that inning, preventing the tying and go-ahead runs from scoring while helping pave the way for a 5-2 Texas win over Mid-Atlantic champ Parsippany, N.J. No San Antonio team ever has won a Little League Baseball World Series championship, but Cardenas helped it increase its chances this time, leading it into Sunday's winner's bracket game against either Indiana or Oregon.
"I was very nervous," Cardenas said. "I was just telling myself,'stay calm and don't let anything get to you, just relax.'"
Cardenas pitched 2 1-3 scoreless and hitless innings as Texas improved to 16-0 this summer. His first-inning home run, a liner over the center-field fence, put Texas ahead to stay against the gutty Mid-Atlantic champions.
"I couldn't believe it," Cardenas said. "I never thought I'd be hitting a home run in Williamsport."
Texas scored its next three runs off New Jersey errors and led 4-0 before rallying in the fourth. Anthony Scanelli followed Bener Uygun's lead-off double with a RBI single and D.J. Pico later drew a bases-loaded walk off Cardenas, who just had replaced starter Tyler Vitt, making it 4-2.
Now Cardenas had to contend with Alex Cavaluzzo, who doubled his first time up, as well as Emil Matti, one of the team's best hitters. Add in a large contingent of New Jersey fans, who filled the third-base and right-field bleachers standing on their feet, and the heat on Cardenas was nearly as hot as the 108-degree temperatures Texas endured during regionals.
Still, Cardenas kept his cool and recorded a strikeout before inducing an inning-ending grounder to shortstop Grant Gomez. Just like that, he had silenced the crowd and New Jersey never seriously threatened again.
"We had been down four runs several times before," Texas manager Jack Wideman said. "I just told them to relax and play."
"We were a hit away from tying that game," New Jersey manager Mike Ruggiero said. "They never quit. Every game we always have an inning and we were having our inning, it just got cut short."
New Jersey hit well against Tyler Vitt, who allowed no runs at the Southwest Regional, but hurt itself more than Texas did. The Mid-Atlantic champions allowed four unearned runs to score. Combine that with Cardenas' clutch performance and it was too much to overcome.
New Jersey plays Indiana or Oregon in tonight's 8 p.m. elimination game. It has proven a resilient team before and can look back at last year's Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic champ Keystone going from a first-round loss to finishing third in the country as added motivation.
"We had a lot of support up here today. It's amazing," Ruggiero said. "We're at the best place in the world for Little League right now. You can't hang your head because you lost a World Series game."
Matti led off the game with a ground-rule double, but Vitt retired the next three hitters, two via strikeout. He earned his third win since the start of regionals and struck out four in 3 1-3 innings.
New Jersey had three extra-base hits and outhit Texas through four innings. Matti scattered four hits and allowed only one earned run while striking out six against a team that outscored five Southwest opponents, 51-3.
"That is a great team we played," Wideman said. "That's just a good team all the way around."

Sketch a Realistic Plan
You need to have a plan set up to comprehend your objectives and goals. You will need to map out your plan before you do anything. You can sketch this in different ways, including content planning, timetable, and publication schedules. There are many devices to assist with this level of content planning and management. If you fail to choose a subset of metrics to put your strategy together on, then you will veer off the path and will probably not make it to your final goal. Build up a clear time period with the goal that everybody in the team stays focused and keeps the process as simple as possible when communicating and assigning.
Focus on the End Result
In product and marketing development, there is so much accentuation put on the product and the “numbers” (profits) surrounding it that occasionally people dismiss the need that the product satisfies. You need to understand the trouble points of whom you are marketing to get what they are ultimately doing with the product. All in all, when you show the post-
