Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend will be held January 27th thru January 29th, 2017.
Registrations must be received by January 25th! Please feel free to Share this with a special woman in your life who deserves a weekend retreat. ("We realize that times are financially difficult for many. If you cannot afford to come yet feel strongly called to be with us, please let us know! There are a few partial scholarships available plus Credit Cards can be accepted by contacting Beth at beth@rainbowofpromise.com for details.") We are very excited to announce that Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse. Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille invite you to come celebrate and honor our beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Let's celebrate and prepare ourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect! Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle! Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!

New Year's Resolutions to Boost Immunity
This New Year, one important resolution is to focus on supporting a strong immune system for a happy and healthy 2017. “Building a strong immune system can improve and even extend your life,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, and vice president of Scientific Affairs, Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of natural, science-based ingredients that support wellness and vitality. For a healthier year, Robinson and the experts at Embria are encouraging people to toast to these great health and wellness tips. Be Social It’s easy to hole-up during these cold winter days, but it’s not very good for your health or immune system. Research shows that people that have more human interactions are better at combating cold weather challenges. So make sure to chat with your coworkers during the day and make plans with your friends after work. Not only will this boost your immunity, but social activities may also help reduce stress and depression. Supplement While a well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support good health, getting the proper vitamins and nutrients in sufficient quantities every day can prove challenging. Consider resolving to offer your immune system targeted support with a supplement designed to boost healthy immune function. One of the best immune strengthening ingredients is EpiCor fermentate, which has been clinically shown to support the body’s ability to initiate the proper immune response when needed, support rapid immune response and maintain healthy immune function. You can find EpiCor in many popular and trusted supplement brands. Rest and Relaxation Rest and relaxation can go a long way toward supporting good health. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to a number of major health problems and can impair the way your immune system responds, according to the National Institutes of Health. What’s more, too much stress can compromise immune response. So whether it’s spending time with friends, going to yoga class or taking a bath, make sure your schedule includes time for both sleep and for stress-reducing activities. Improve your health from the inside out this New Year. By focusing on boosting your immunity as a goal, you will naturally adopt healthy habits. (StatePoint)

Healthy New Year's Resolution Ideas for Kids
If eating healthier and getting more exercise tops your New Year’s resolution list, consider extending these worthwhile goals to the whole family.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity in this country has more than tripled over the past 30 years.
But you can help your family get the right nutrition and exercise to stay healthy.
“Not only is it extremely important for kids to get all the vitamins, nutrients and physical activity they need to stay healthy, but habits formed early in life -- both good and bad -- can last a lifetime,” says Dr. Thomas McInerny, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The AAP is offering some healthy living tips for parents to help kids get on the right track for the upcoming year.
Improving Eating Habits
• You may have bad childhood memories of being forced to sit at the table until you cleaned your plate. Don’t perpetuate this method of mealtime management! It sends the wrong message by emphasizing quantity over quality and can lead to significant overeating. Foster a healthier attitude toward food by focusing on what you serve in the first place.
• Establish a routine with regular meal and snack times. Always eat meals at the table. Children who eat meals with their family consume more fruits, vegetables, fiber, calcium-rich foods and vitamins.
• Once kids are old enough, encourage self-feeding as much as possible.
• Avoid soda, which is full of empty calories or artificial sweeteners. Milk and water are the best drink choices for your child. Offer whole milk or 2 percent milk to children ages 12 months to 2 years old, unless your pediatrician recommends low-fat milk. After age 2, offer low-fat milk. Limit juice to four to six ounces a day.
• Kids can be picky at first, but don’t let a refusal of a new food stop you from trying again. Offer new foods multiple times in multiple ways. For infants, you may need to even try 10 to 15 times over several months. Parents are extremely influential and can serve as a child’s best role model. Eat a variety of foods of different flavors, colors and textures.
Encourage Active Play
• Don’t let a full day go by without active play. Take trips to the park, play in the yard, go for walks and make physical activity a part of your family’s daily routine. Reduce the amount of time spent in devices that restrain movement, such as strollers and bouncy seats.
• Limit screen time, including TV, video games and computers, to less than two hours a day. Avoid placing computers or television sets in children’s bedrooms so they can get the best sleep possible.
• Encourage your kids to take part in sports teams, gymnastic and dance classes, and other activities that will get them moving.

This New Year, Resolve To Get More Sleep
There are many popular New Year’s resolutions that quickly come and go: eating healthy, losing weight, managing stress and saving money. In 2015, why not focus on one health change you’ll enjoy sticking to... getting more sleep.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average American sleeps about six hours and 55 minutes per night during the week, and 15 percent of adults sleep less than six hours per night.
“Lack of sleep can take a significant toll on your overall health and interfere with some of your daily activities,” said Dr. Michael Thorpy, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
Almost everybody has trouble sleeping now and then, but many Americans experience significant problems getting to sleep or continually wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep.
Such problems may be clinical symptoms of insomnia. According to the National Sleep Foundation, if you have trouble falling asleep at night or staying asleep, or you wake up in the morning feeling unrefreshed, you may be suffering from insomnia.
Insomnia can affect people in different ways. Some sufferers have trouble initially getting to sleep, while others wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep.
To help you get better sleep this year, Dr. Thorpy suggests these simple tips:
• Set and stick to a sleep schedule. Establish a regular bedtime and wake time.
• Set aside time at night to “wind down.” Spend some quiet time before bedtime. Such activities as watching TV, using the computer or working right before bedtime, or in the bedroom, can make it harder to fall asleep.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed.
• Exercise regularly. Just don’t exercise rigorously near bedtime and check with your doctor before starting an exercise regimen.
• Don’t clock-watch. If you awaken in the middle of the night and stay in bed, don’t lie there staring at the clock. And don’t watch TV or use your laptop or cell phone, because these technologies stimulate the brain, making it tougher to fall back to sleep.
If these tips don’t help, speak with your healthcare professional to help determine if you are suffering from insomnia and require treatment.

Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend
Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend will be held January 27th thru January 29th, 2017.
Registrations must be received by January 25th! Please feel free to Share this with a special woman in your life who deserves a weekend retreat.
("We realize that times are financially difficult for many. If you cannot afford to come yet feel strongly called to be with us, please let us know! There are a few partial scholarships available plus Credit Cards can be accepted by contacting Beth at beth@rainbowofpromise.com for details.")
We are very excited to announce that Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse.
Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille invite you to come celebrate and honor our beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Let's celebrate and prepare ourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect!
Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle!
Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
