Gd Stuffit is that we came from. We have the choiceto radiate natural beauty wherever we are.

A few of the ways I choose to keep this won-derful feeling alive is through the way I eat,the way I take care of my skin, and the way Ichoose to exercise. I eat locally grown, whole,organic foods, use only natural a nd organic,non-toxic skin and bath care products, andI choose to exercise in nature. Eating goodfood and a love for nature are two aspectsof my life that have always been important.As for my skin care regimen, I am blessed tohave been educated over the last few yearsby my Aunt, Janene Lasswell, Creator andManufacturer of Ja Nene Natural Body

Products. She has taught me that what I puton my skin is a key part of total personalhealth.

I have made these three things mandatoryin my daily life and because of my choices,I am able to keep the radiance shiningthrough me everyday. You have the choicetoo. What will you choose?

the smells, sounds, and the overall feeling.I love how I feel and I dont want to forgeta second of it. I love the very essence of thisplace! I love the way the beauty radiatesthrough everyone and makes us all shinefrom the inside out.

A Holistic Approach to Wllnss

B C L LA.

Human beings have used herbs, plants andother natural substances for healing purposesfor thousands of years. In ancient times wewere dependent on the natural resourcesin our immediate environment. It wasperhaps not dicult for our early ancestorsto notice the eects of the substances thatthey consumed on their bodies. As culturesdeveloped, the shamans and medicine people

categorized herbs and plants according totheir specic eects. Recipes were passedalong by the women who cooked and tookcare of their families. is information waspassed on through the generations.

Every culture had its own way of passingon medicinal information. For many it wasan oral tradition and the information waslost. Fortunately some cultures had writtenlanguage. e Chinese culture was partic-ularly rened in its written language. eyalso were very advanced in the cataloging of

medicinal substances. e Taoist philosophyand understanding of nature through obser-vation helped to produce an incredible bodyof information in ancient China. As far back

as the Yellow Emperor, ca. 2500 BC, theybegan to document the properties of herbs.ese ancient scholar-physicians developed asystem of categorizing substances accordingto their avors, heating or cooling proper-ties, and nourishing or clearing eects. Evenwhich organs they eected, and in whatspecic way. ere are over eight hundredherbs which have been cataloged. e herbsare combined into formulas which can bespecically tailored to a patients needs.

Traditionally these herb formulas wereboiled to make a tea. Now, more often,they are prescribed in pill, liquid extract orfreeze dried form. Chinese herbal medicinehas developed over thousands of years tohelp balance,nourish and cleanse the body.e whole body is seen without isolatingits parts. A skilled herbalist can prescribeformulas to maintain and optimize health.Herbal formulas are often taken for yearsor a life time, being subtly for changingphysical conditions. We all have idiosyn-cratic health issues, using herbal remedies

can bring balance. In China herbs are evenincorporated into meals. Congee, a ricesoup, is very popular. Roots, and herbs areadded to the congee according to a persons

needs. Herbal/Food medicine is a simple andpractical way to maintain health. Modernlife has largely cut us o from our roots ofusing natural substances for healing. If wewant to get back to balance and harmonywithin ourselves and with the earthas our sustainer we can learn a great dealfrom our ancestors.

The earth contains the medicines and isour sustainer. The wisdom of the ancients

has been preserved. Traditional ChineseMedicine is intact with thousands of qual-ified practitioners and many reputablesources for herbs and formulas which areorganically grown and naturally processed.Availing ourselves of these resources is costeffective and nourishes our earth as well asour bodies. We can reclaim our connect-edness with the earth by learning aboutherbal medicine!

Driving north on Highway One Ivealways loved the view approaching thequaint beach town of Cayucos. No stripmalls or sprawling subdivisions in sight,this small community sits tucked into alargely undisturbed stretch of coast with a

rather lost-in-time feel. I never wonderedwhy this particular area was so undevel-oped until I stumbled upon an intelligentand active group of ladies, members & vol-unteers of the Cayucos Land Conservancy(CLC), who have been hard at work since1999 to keep Cayucos surrounded by beau-tiful hills & coastline.

If you are interested in local ecology andenjoy the outdoors, you wont want to missan opportunity to join the CLC and somefascinating women at their Come Outside

I found some old photos recently,realized theres something archaeological

about us.A decade ago, we built statues to ourselveson the old oceans edge.Your smile stony in the photo ash,my hair bleached from a sepia sunset.

We were this dead civilization at parties,an ancient language.At the prom I was a river

weaving through your forest.at night, we were two bodiesasleep in a chair built for one,like a young Pharaoh and his brideburied together,entombed in the sand.

As I hold this photoI feel ancient.Now the river bed is cracked under

night dew,your forest is petried.ese memories are fossils and

abandoned citiestoo precious to be forgotten,yet too fragile to be held.

As the Program Director for a divorcesupport group I belonged to, I often was toobusy at meetings to meet newcomers. egroup went to Lyons, a local coee shop,after the meeting for dessert and a chance totalk in a more relaxed setting.

e ocers would often arrive late aftertaking some time to discuss business. Oneday I was making my way down the tables,stopping to talk to people I knew. I noticedone of my friends sitting next to a man I

had never noticed before. As I chatted withmy friend, I realized that I was wishing hehad an o button, so I could concen -trate on his seatmate. is new guys smile,

Is it fashionable? Is it fascinating? May bee truth is that it has been around for at

least 120 years. Many people had tried todene it, to capture its mystery in a fewwords with dierent degrees of success. Itremains elusive, escaping language and itslimitations, because it is a language itself,it is a music, it is a dance, it is a way ofassuming life and its consequences.

Many still cast shadows over the origin ofthe name, reluctant to admit the proudAfrican roots of the name Tango, evenwhen Spanish Dictionaries as early as 1802were using the name and dening it as a

house where slaves would meet to cele-brate reunions and dances, with permissionof their masters. Racism is still obscurelyhiding in the local culture somehow, whereeven local politicians or prestigious news-papers resort to the use of racial slurs whentempers get somehow out of control. Fromthe names of dances associated with tango,like candombe and milonga to the rhythmit will be hard not to admit the Africanroots of the tango as it is today. It representstherefore the largest and longer lasting giftof the African people to the people of South

America. e 1853 Constitution facilitatedthe coming of immigrants to the regionand set the rules for the denite abolition ofslavery, corroborated years later by laws thatdeclared free all slaves coming to the countryand acquired by masters under foreign laws.Millions of immigrants were coming to

the area with very little baggage, but withheads full of dreams, languages, knowl-edge, habits, pains and vices. Locally, thewounds of the genocide perpetrated by thegovernment on the indigenous people of the

region were still open, the stigma of racismand slavery was lingering above the regionlike a toxic cloud, the measureless pain ofthe tragic and devastating Paraguayan war,where the blind ambition of the politiciansof the countrys neighbors, Argentina, Braziland Uruguay, did not have any objections tothe killing of most of the adult and adoles-cent male population of Paraguay in pursuitof a shameful victory of sorts. Tango cameabout in that kind of Historical landscape.

A ritual dance was born that night

From the infnite conrontationBetween man and his destiny,

Pain, anguish, rebelliousness, dreams.

Somebody call it tango,

Nobody knows why or when.

May be it was God who decided it

In that latitude and that time.

As beautifully described by Ridardo Ostundiin his poem, Tango was born simultaneously,on both banks of the Rio de la Plata, thewide unruly brown ow of water that lls thewide gash to the heart of South America, on

the days when communication was dicultand slow, perhaps like a divine inspiration oran answer to prayers, coming strictly fromthe heaven above the mystic river. It was atime of change, perhaps a time of sorrowfor many, of complex emotions and feelings.Nobody has been able to explain how or

why this combination of rhythms, echoes,memories, thoughts, frustrations, nostalgia,loneliness, hopes and hopelessness, longingand pain gave birth to this music. It had abuttery eect in the chaotic world of the

beginning of the twenty century.

ese attering of wings started in thepoorest outskirts of the town somehow havemanaged to have universal signicance.

e simple songs of the beginning evolvedinto richer and more complex songs. Originaltunes where enriched by poetic and meta-phorical lyrics, singers step into the pictureto lend presence and originality to all perfor-mances. e original precarious movementsgave way to a complicated dialogue between

two people dancing with the heart and thesoul as well as the body. Wildly condemnedat the beginning by the local aristocrats andthe clergy, as an almost pornographic dance,was nally accepted a fter Europe received itwith enthusiastic open arms.

Tango made the trip to the Old Continenthidden among the few belongings of theFragata Sarmientos crew members andreached Europe at a very special time. Waltzhad been accepted as a couples dance at thebeginning of the XVIII Century. During

the industrial revolution there was a truesocial struggle trying to establish a publicplace for the couple and the waltz came topublicly acknowledge and accept the coupleas a social unit. According to the Frenchresearcher Remi Hess this dance came aftermany centuries of group dances and fero-

cious prosecution, even public burning ofpeople daring to dance in couples, becauseaccording to the moral rules of t he time thedevil will be in between two people dancingtogether. Waltz was a joyous, festive, enthu-

siastic and positive encounter between twopeople. Tango came to Europe with all itssubtle complexities and deep meanings. Itcame to Europe when the continent wasstarting to open up to the mysterious andcomplicated world of psychoanalysis, andits wild search within the exclusive territoryof the mind and the soul. It took Europe bysurprise, oering this unabashed encounterbetween two real people, in the shiveringesh of their complexities.

e music and the dance have continued

their evolution; they have been transportedand translated to every corner of the world.It seems to have its own way of reachingout and grabbing peoples heart. It seemsto breath, beat and pulse in every cornerof Buenos Aires. People come from all overthe world to search for hidden clues of itsmagic.

In the complex world of today, where peoplecompulsively grab ea r phones and electronicdevices to escape reality it oers a dierent,exhilarating challenge. e meeting of two

vulnerable, fragile, delicate human beingswilling to surrender to the mystery of themoment, to the enchantment of an embrace,defying dierences, distances, ages, color ofthe skin or unsurpassable dierent ways oflooking at reality.

which was reected in the invitingly warmblue of his eyes, had captured my attention.My insides felt like an ice cube melting in adrink on a hot summer day.

I had recently nished a book entitled,Smart Women, Foolish Choices. It hadinspired me to open myself to the endless pos-sibilities that new relationships could bring.is was pretty brave for a newly divorcedwoman, fresh out of an almost thirty-yearmarriage. e encounter with my Smiler,as I had already dubbed him, was my rstopportunity to try out my new philosophy.My reaction not only startled, but scaredme as well. I was looking for friendship, notromance, but something told me that this

could be the romance of a century.

Unfortunately, my Smiler and my friendleft a few minutes after I had found a place at

a nearby table. I felt like a candle whose amehad been snued out with no warning. I wasrestless and bored for the rest of the evening.

I convinced myself after a few days that Ihad overreacted to that chance encounter.Fate intervened that very night; my friendcalled, begging me to join his support group.Lack of attendance had plagued them fromthe start. He explained that the therapist incharge had indicated she wouldnt continue,unless there was at least one more personwho agreed to come each week.

I thanked him for asking me, but remindedhim that I had been in the d ivorce group formore than a year and was ready to move on

to some non-divorce type activities.

A visual image of the man with the incred-ible smile interfered with my thoughts.

Trying to sound politely disinterested, Iasked who else was a member. He named afew people I knew, Mary, Sarah and then...Steve. As my heart did calesthentics in my

chest, I cleared my throat and asked, in whatI hoped was a casual voice, Whos Steve?

Oh, hes the new guy, the one who wassitting next to me at the coee shop theother night. We then chit chatted for a fewminutes, my friend convinced, I hoped, thatthere was no chance I would join the group.Before I hung up, as nonchalantly as I could,I told him I would give the group a try. Hisrelief was nothing compared to mine.

As I stepped across the threshold the rst

night, I felt a jolt of electricity when I sawmy Smiler sitting on the couch.

On a cold rainy day, looking out mywindow at the wet grass on the quiet park,I think of my friend Chelita.

at is how we called Doctor GracielaSarmiento, a Peruvian born physician whodied tragically, south of Ensenada, Mexico.She had gone along a group from San LuisObispo, California in a mission to Bajawith the Flying Samaritans, a charitablegroup that does free medical proceduresfor underprivileged/needy people in rural

Mexico.

The Beeachcraft A-36 plane took off fromthe San Luis Obispo Airport, and landedin Ensenada, Mexico. It then, took off forits final destination in San Quintin inBaja California. At about 15 miles southof Ensenada, the pilot called the controltower and said he was climbing to getabove heavy fog... radio contact was lostaround 2 PM.

e people aboard the plane were Roger

Lyon an attorney and pilot from Cayucos,Doctor James ornton MD a plasticsurgeon from San Luis Obispo, Andreweil a Cal Poly Student and Paramedic andmy friend Doctor Graciela Sarmiento MDa physician who worked at the CommunityHealth Center in Oceano, California. Allof them were wonderful seless people,doing what they loved, helping the poor.

I met Doctor Graciela Sarmiento in 1993at a BBQ at the house of another physi-cian friend, Alba Barberia from Argentina.

I found doctor Sarmiento to be sweet,bright, fun and someone very friendly. Shehad moved from Seattle with her family towork at the CHC Clinic in Oceano, hired

by yet another physician friend from Peru,Isabel Ruiz MD ( R.I.P ). Dr Sarmientowent to medical school in the Universityof Navarra in Pamplona, Spain graduat-ing in 1984 and she did her residency atUniversity of Kansas School of Medicine.We had long conversations about ourlives in South America, we being neigh-bors her from Peru and me from Chile, wehad similar cultural, culinary and musicalmemories. She was married and had threechildren, I did too.

Years later, she saved the life of my oldestson, when he was an inpatient at ArroyoGrande Hospital, taking over his medicaltreatment and aggressively treating himwith antibiotics and thus controlling hisrampant infection. I was forever in her debt.

I attended a Catholic Mass in her honor,along my son now a young man, at SaintPatricks Church in Arroyo Grande,California. At least 600 or more peoplewere there, the church was lled with teary

eyed family members, friends, colleagues,patients and neighbors. We heard aboutGracielas kindness and tenderness, aboutwhat a great woman she was, a great wife,mom, daughter, sister, friend, neighbor anda super doctor.

She leaves behind her husband Jocelin, andher children Maya, Saioa and Sebastian. Ihad the pleasure afterwards to meet hersisters Camuncha, Patricia and her brotherFrancisco, all of them sweet as Chelita. Iasked them to please let her mom and dad

back in Lima, Peru, know how much Chelitawas loved and admired by so many, but whatan imprint she left forever in my life.

I have always felt a strong urge tobe a catalyst for transformation. Itis my greatest joy to be a witness topeople stepping into who they trulyare! I always knew that if everyonecould just stop trying to be what theythought would get them love, security,and the approval of others, and insteadbe who they truly were, we could havethe world of our dreams. At the age of16, I began many years of study in theelds of spiritual, psychological andpersonal growth, trying to nd out

where I t. I became a massage ther-apist, studied Hands-on-Healing,counseled troubled teenagers, workedwith Native American teachers, andtaught pre-school, while continuing toassist others on their Spiritual Paths.What became very clear to me was thatI was not going to nd a di scipline thatencompassed all I was here to do.

I Want to SharThs Momnts

B B.U

I want the share these moments...

To give up your life, having to care for your parentswho are senile, is a dicult task. Suddenly I feeloverwhelmed! With no life! And dedicated tothem who have become children again. To thinkfor them and try to guess through their penetrat-ing gaze what it is that they are searching for...

Nobody is taught to be a caregiver, less of all , foryour parents, who regress back to being children,taciturn , moody and to try to understand what ishappening to them. It is not easy, ones life. ey arein another world, dealing every day with this tremen-dous uncertainty that they may leave at anytime.

Sometimes I wish that this responsibility lieon all their children, but I am the only one leftwith this. I feel very alone, sad... struggling withan emotional load that I have been carrying fora long time now. Its tremendous! But this is thelife I must live!

I am a Chilean woman, 61, and just living in thepresent. e future does not exist for me...

smi Cntin:

I surreptitiously chose a seat at the oppositeend. I remember little of that evening, otherthan that sensation of an electric currentconnecting me to the blue-eyed smiler.Fortunately no one sat between us, or theymight have gotten caught in the electricalcrossre.

I left that night, plotting how I could seemore of this man. When I heard that a well-known politician would be speaking at theuniversity, I called several friends from the

support group, suggesting that we attendthe speech. I boldly added that I would bewilling to call Steve, as we could all t inhis van. en I asked Steve to pick me uprst, so I could direct him to the homes ofthe others. I made sure that I sat next to himat the event, and then hustled to reclaim myseat on the way back, as well as t he one nextto him at the coee shop afterward. (Flirtingis like riding a bike; you never forget how todo it, even 30 years later.)

What I discovered later, was that my bold

B L K,

While there was no quorum for board actions, therewas a quorum for the executive committee. e maintopic for discussion was the continuing refusal byNational to send out member dues rebate checks andthe impact on CA NOW and local chapters.

Since the take over of National NOWs highestoces in the 2009 elections, local and state chaptersare being slowly bled dry by Nationals refusal tosend out member dues rebate checks. Local and statechapters rely on these funds to perform the vital workof NOW. Several state and local chapters have folded

due to lack of funds. California NOW had to closeits Sacramento oce and now operates out of o-cers homes. Unfortunately, the previous CaliforniaNOW administration had signed a lease for the oce,which obligates CA NOW to continue to cover thelease rent. California NOW president Patty Bellasamaand the leaseholder have a pending lawsuit againstNational NOW to pay rebates owed to cover expensesof breaking the lease.

e California NOW state conference next May 2011is an election year for state ocers. ere are rumorsthat National may put up a slate to replace the current

ocers in order to void the lawsuit. If Patty is nolonger president of California NOW, she will have nostanding to continue the suit. In order to ensure thatnominations and elections are fair, San Luis Obispo

B A K

Events overtake us. When I rst wrote thiscolumn, President Obama had just caved(in my opinion) on the tax extension issue

and I was disappointed in him and inpolitics in general. By the time you readthis, Obama will be well into his agendafor the next two years with the fanati-cally right wing newbies (and some oldies)busy making fools of themselves. And inbetween, he (and Nancy Pelosi, to giveproper credit) managed to salvage a numberof important progressive goals. Its hard tostay current!

You may have noticed we did not plan abig public event this year to celebrate Roe

v Wade. e issue is no less important,however, and is already becoming a hotpotato in the new Congress. Check thenational NOW page for on going details ofeorts to restrict or ban abortion by states,and in the debate on the health care bill

NOW will send members to serve on the nominationsand elections committees.

In an eort to legitimize their refusal to send duesrebates to local and state chapters, the NationalNOW executive committee has invented some newrules. One of these rules is that if a check is mailedto a chapter and it is not deposited within 30 days, nofurther checks will be sent. Another rule is if a chapterdoes not send in a year end report with updatedbylaws, no further rebate checks will be sent. At arecent Executive Board Meeting of National NOW,

it was stated that Local and state chapters have noright to any rebates, despite the plain language of theNational by-laws.

All National NOW Board meetings are now held byWebinar and not in person. e moderator controlscomments by muting attendees. ere is no listing ofattendees provided, and no way to prove attendance.Consequently, since a requirement for running foroce is attendance at board meetings, the presentboard controls future candidate eligibility.

California NOW should be devoting its time and

energy to advocating for women, and not to theinternal politics of the organization. We continue tomonitor the situation with National.

repeal. e good news, if there is any (seeNOW News on the selection of Stupak aschair of the House Energy and Commercessubcommittee on Health) is that while 26blue dog Democrats lost election, only

4 progressive Democrats did, meaningthe Democrats left are more solidly pro-abortion rights, with stronger constituentsupport.

NOW dues? Whats the scoop? is isJanuary, beginning of the year, and theannual NOW dues reminders have been sentout by National. Ive had some responsesto my article last time about possiblescal and/or political mismanagement atNational, and people ask if they should joinat all, or if they do, what to do about dues.

Last summer, our chapter, in discussionwith other California chapters, had infor-mally agreed we would ask members to joinNational at the $15 minimum level, anddonate the additional $25 (or more) to their

Nots from California NOW Boar MtinDec. 11, 2010

CooRDinAToRSCorNerlocal chapters, as National was not rebatingthe local chapter and state level dues asrequired. e failure of National to sendthe rebates had already caused a number ofchapters to close and even some state oces

had shut down. California NOW is stilloperating, under extremely reduced circum-stances. Since that meeting we have gottensome rebate moneys. We still dont know ifthe numbers are accurate, though, becausethe monthly reports detailing the membershipchanges are no longer included with the checks.

So, the answer to the query whether to payup to National or not, is pretty philosoph-ical: if you choose to remain a member ofNOW, but follow that request and pay only$15, you seem also to condone the scal mis-

management and possible political betrayalsat the national level (refer to Susan Faludisarticle in Harpers: http://harpers.org/archive/2010). But, quitting NOW alto-gether reduces total resources for NOW,both local and national, resulting in even

less ability to advocate for womens rights,weak as even that support may be. Is theanswer a more radical group to support? Isthere a more radical group on the scene?Apparently not, at this time.

I intend to re-join, at the $15 level. After all,National is supposed to work on a budgetthat counts only that much per member asincome. e rest of the dues is allocated tothe state and local chapters that are, at leastrhetorically, the grass roots of the orga-nization. I guess well see. See the reportfrom our delegate to the CA NOW boardmeeting in December. ere was anothernational Board meeting on January 30 thatwe monitored. Well let you know next timewhat happened.

Why dont I do what I know is good for me? I know meditation helpsme with my feelings, relationships and creativity. So why dont I do it?Walking always clears my mind and I get great ideas on the walk! enwhy is it so hard to get out the door?

I hear these questions all the time. Ive said them too. Self-love andself-motivation are in the realm of a foreign language because we arenttrained to do this. It has to be learned as a translation of the soul thatis armed actively by loving yourself enough to make the time to doit. Start right now!

Say or think: I love myself enough to ,(ll in the blank with: Exercise, meditate, socialize, eat organically).

Now notice how that feels to you and to your body. Im guessing thatyou relaxed right into the vibration of self love...yummy, isnt it? Keepit up and make a note of what to say to your self to put on your fridge

or mirror as a reminder.e energies that were all experiencing are a human wave of excitement,a quickening of our soul. Its an awareness that each and every one ofus matters and the only way to make this happen is to love ourselves asmuch as we believe we love others.

Yes, the earth is changing, we are changing as the earth, and planets,goddess awareness and self awareness are bringing in an exciting phaseof a new lifestyle and consciousness for men and women. Embrace thechanges as you decide to let go of things that no longer work for you.Many people are doing it. I hear it all the time. People are downsizingand only keeping the things that bring them joy. (ats part of self- love).

Creating a pattern of loving yourself is something that you already

know how to do. Im assuming that you brush your teeth twice a day,brush your hair, take a shower, make tea or coee and eat several mealsa day. ats a great start.

What do you really want to do that can be added and require 15 to 30minutes a day to start doing three times a week? You can increase the timeas you want to. Add one indulgence per week as a reward to your self!

Gift your self a relaxing bath or a hot spring soak Expensive chocolate or wine A new plant Lunch date with a friend. Make the time to give yourself something special.

Add the days up to a 4 day weekend of special nurturing time knowingthat youre indulging your self in care and self-love. Everybody can dosomething. Heres where you start:

Recognize that you want to feel better. Feeling good is yourDivine birthright.

Make a commitment to add one thing you want to do, each weekfor YOU.

Make it do-able and put on your calendar to do consistently. Select your big deal indulgence reward that you give to yourself.

Make it happen! Have a wonderful time! Smile and laugh as much as possible.

Start this New Year o by loving yourself more than you ever have

before. Get busy being fabulous and make this a great life..
