NEWS:

JULIE’S ART & CK HOLIDAY SALE~ Jess and I will be hosting a fabulous holiday gift sale at Chakra Khan on Saturday, December 19th in the afternoon…stay tuned for more details. It will be festive and fun. It also will double as the reception for my new body of small gouache paintings of god’s eyes, third eyes and evil eyes~they are small paintings that burst with color–I hope you can come check them out and visit with me! Down the hall at the Vine Arts Center they’ll have great artsy gifts for sale, too. What a day!

RETREATS~ My friend Sarina Lamarche, Life Coach, and I are creating a series of seasonal day-long retreats that will begin this winter. One for each season–reflect, vision, and move towards your most creative and empowered life! Stay tuned to juliekesti.com for details.

REIKI~ I attended Reiki Level 1 again in September, and went on to Level 2 in October. We learned some crazy things like using a pendulum to see if your chakras are spinning freely or not, using a singing bowl on the body, and incorporating essential oils. I’m still in the learning phase with it all, so if you’d like to come in and try it out, mention this note for a $25 session (about an hour). Get the run-down on what this Reiki business is here. (it’s pronounced “ray-key”)

CONTEST:

I am often having to answer the question “How is Shiatsu different from Massage?” I have my own lines I often use, but I would be curious to hear it from your perspective. So…I introduce the WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? CONTEST!

Email me your 4-8 sentence answer to this question. The first four people to submit an answer get $10 off a session. The BEST answer gets a FREE Shiatsu! May the best client win!

RECIPE:

If you belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm share like I do, you probably have a whole community of squash living in your kitchen right now. Don’t let them intimidate you! I want to help you (and me) embrace the squash, so I am sharing this super-simple, yummy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe.

Now when I say, “super-simple” that applies to everything except peeling the darn squash! So maybe you want to read this link first. Be careful with your knife!

And…if you also have a legion of sweet potatoes in your pantry, and want to try something fancy, try THIS~ and tell me how it goes. I hope to attempt it soon! It’s good to accept a challenge from Martha now and then.

TAKE CARE!
