Sometimes, particularly when your area experiences an uncharacteristically hot

summer, extreme weather events can become more common than we'd like. In more

temperate climates, such a change may not last long and many plants recover quickly

or suffer minimal heat shock loss. In hotter climates however, an extremely dry sum-

mer can last many months.

Evaluate your water use scenario. If there is, or is going to be minimal water re-

strictions, then the job is much easier, but if you have severe water restrictions then

protecting your garden may need additional work.

How to tend to your plants in the hot summer.

Water saving methods include using mulch - at least a 10cm or 4 inch thick lay-

er, using drip system reticulation (which is best hidden under the mulch), using water

retention products such as water retaining crystals, bentonite or attapulgite clays - the

cheapest source of these is often clay based granulated kitty litter (if it dissolves in

water, it will offer even better water retention capabilities), and as much organic mate-

rials such as compost and other soil improvers that you can budget for.

Water in the evening or early morning to best avoid evaporation and the water getting

hot in the sun's rays. It is recommended to water deeply and often but when the water

supply is low, it is better to water deeply and occasionally, as that encourages deeper

root growth into cooler (and hopefully more moist) layers of soil. Frequent light water-

ing encourages lush growth but also promotes shallower roots so that the plant is less

prepared to cope when there is a reduction or no water coming on a hot day.

In times of heat shock, a seaweed extract based liquid fertilizer treatment

often reduces heat stress and it may help protect the plant in future. Work to in-

crease shade. This maybe using shade sails, tree cover (selecting more drought har-

dy trees or palms) or a short term solution using an old sheet or dust cloth during ex-

treme weather.

The catch is these will make the plants less sun hardened, so a short term so-

lution should only be a short term solution or a more permanent fixture. Short term

protection should be removed as soon as possible because if the plant gets accus-

tomed to the shade it will experience more stress when the shade is removed.

If the future for your area looks to have increased heat and less rainfall, start

replacing many of your plants that just will not survive no matter what protection you

can offer them. This can be done by donating the plants that won't thrive to nurse-

ries, friends in cooler areas, or to botanical gardens and zoos if they have the envi-

ronment and facilities for them. Lawn can be replaced slowly by gradually increasing

the area of garden beds, or by replacing them with artificial grass. The quality of arti-

ficial grasses has improved greatly over recent years, so is a worthwhile substitute if

properly installed.

UWI: Tell me Mr. Centrella what is a Stick n Kick?

Mr. Centrella: The Stick n Kick is an amazing weeding tool that I invented that not only works, but also is

fun to use, environmentally friendly, and effective at ridding your lawn or garden of unwanted weeds.

Simply as that.

UWI: Well, that is great; can it be used on all weeds?

Mr. Centrella: YES! There is no weed that can stand up to the mighty Stick n Kick, in fact , we even kicked

out some big old desert weeds in Arizona. It has been tested in all climates from New York to California. If it

has a roots it is doomed. This amazing tool works on crab grass too, in addition to your regular lawn weeds.

In fact, it will work just as well in your garden.

UWI: How does it work?

Mr. Centrella: Simple as this, you stick the base of the tool in the ground just before the root and give it a

gentle kick. Bam, the weed, roots and all, flies out. It is as simple as that.

UWI: How is your tool different from other weeding tools?

Mr. Centrella: That is a good question. First, these are no moving parts to jam or break. No fuel, electric

cord of any re-occurring parts needed, and no added hidden expenses. No noise, pollution and, it is envi-

ronmentally green and safe.

UWI: Does the Stick n Kick come with a satisfaction guarantee?

Mr. Centrella: Absolutely, we stand behind our product, literally! 100%, we have yet to have any com-

plaints.

UWI: Do you have any testimonials?

Mr. Centrella: Yes, we do, just go to our web site, www.sticknkick.com to see what others think, you will

be amazed at how happy our customers are.

UWI: I want to buy one, What do I do to get my hands on one?

Mr. Centrella: Honestly for the lowest price and quickest delivery just go to our easy to use web site,

www.sticknkick.com and click on order. We ship in 24 hours guaranteed.

UWI: Well, thanks Mr. Centrella for sharing with us your amazing weeding tool. It pays us all to follow

through with our inspirations, dreams and inventions.

Mr. Centrella: Thank you for allowing me to invite your readers to buy such a remarkable easy weeding

tool. There is no reason to have dandelions or any weeds anymore with the Stick n Kick tool.

I am proud to say we are sending them all over the world as fast as we can make them.

RSVP…

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT

MEAN IN TODAY’S WORLD?

The term RSVP comes from the

French expression "répondez s'il vous

plaît", meaning; "please respond". f RSVP

is written on an invitation it means the

invited guest is welcomed and should tell

the host YES or NO they plan to attend the

party or event. It means the host needs a

definite head count for the planned

event, which we will address later in this

article.

ON-line events or in-person

events include a tremendous

amount of decision making and

planning so YOU can have a great

experience and this includes all the

business events we are now invited

to via a variety of social media sites.

With all that being said, I was inspired

to become part of a solution and motivat-

ed to write this article. I realized just be-

cause I have planned events for a living

does not mean others have or do, there-

fore perhaps they just don’t know what it

takes. The biggest challenge to providing a

fabulous event of any kind is to be pre-

pared and that’s where YOU the invitee

can help by providing an RSVP to the invi-

tation received.

One of the challenges that everyone who has ev-

er managed events have, is how to motivate people to RSVP

in a timely manner or to even RSVP at all.

In a recent conversation, I realized the person I was convers-

ing with received an invitation for a Grand Opening that was

happening in just a few days. I asked them if they were com-

ing, since I had not received their RSVP. They said "oh yeah,

I'll be there." When I asked why they had not RSVP'd they

said, "I just assumed you knew that I would be there."

In that instant I had an ‘Aha!’ moment. What struck me is

that we have become a culture that no longer remembers or

perhaps values what it means to RSVP.

When you receive an invitation to a party, a wed-

ding, an event, a workshop, a networking social or any other

offering either through Facebook, Meetup.com, LinkedIn,

email, verbally or even through the old fashioned US Postal

service mail, and the host has asked for an RSVP do you

know the true and appropriate way to respond?

Page 9: UWI July/ August 2014

Ultimate Woman International July/ August 2014

Here’s a guide to answer that question: How Should I respond to this RSVP?

First of all, the short answer is you should always

respond. Extending respect, kindness and courtesy

for the host/planner who is working hard to create

a wonderful experience for all involved is simply

called for in this instance. (You will truly know

the importance of this when you are on the check-

writing end of an event and that’s another subject.)

Back to responding:

Respond YES (as soon as you receive the invi-

tation) IF the event speaks to you and you wish to

attend. Then immediately, notate your calendar in-

cluding contact details/location etc. IF life changes,

you can readily connect with the host and change

your response or make other arrangements. And,

you will score some way cool relationship building

points in the process.

Respond NO if it’s just not for you or you’re

NOT quite sure. If you’re not sure, note your calen-

dar with all the details so as life changes you can

connect with the host/planner and become a part

of the event, changing your No to a Yes. More cool

relationship points.

Respond Maybe has become popular on

some of the social media sites, so let’s address it

now. My opinion is responding MAYBE is really a

gentle NO, and only confuses the issue. Please re-

member the host/planner would like to see you

there as they invited you.

If you simply are not sure, do them a favor

and say NO until you can decide otherwise. Their

feelings will not be hurt, and they will be glad you

did not hint around and cause them to use the

budget in a non-productive manner.

IF you’re not sure you wish to

attend or not sure if you are available, and just

can’t do the NO stuff, here’s another way to

make sure you maintain good communications.

Perhaps you need more information, or you have

another event/meeting that day that could inter-

fere with on time arrival. NOTE your calendar of

the event information AND make another note a

couple days from the day you’re looking at -- to

REMIND yourself to decide. Once you know for

sure, reconnect with the host and confirm a YES

OR NO RSVP. (You may also want to make a pen-

cil note on your calendar on the day of the event

with all the details so you’ll have a ready refer-

ence.)

WHY such a hoopla about RSVP?

1. It is the right thing to do when invited to

anything! Even those events that are not your

cup of tea, someone thought of you. Yes it may

be true you’re just on a list; however, you decid-

ed somewhere along the way to be involved with

this person and their events otherwise you

wouldn’t be on their list. (respect/good eti-

quette)

2. It helps the host/planner to make some very

big decisions on how to ‘budget’ the event.

(courtesy)

3. It helps the host/planner have a better pic-

ture of how many handouts, refreshments, even

chairs and room size to negotiate. Not your prob-

lem you might be asking, well that’s true. Howev-

er, would you like to be the one investing all the

time, money, and effort and not provide an excel-

lent time? I’m betting not. (courtesy)

4. It helps to insure a proper space

for the number of attendees. Not crowded and

worse yet a big room echoing as only a few

showed up. (kindness)

5. The host has planned their

event based on the RSVP’s. They have most likely

signed a contract to guarantee the space or even

food and beverage and whether or not you show

up the host is still obligated to pay for that guar-

anteed space and number of meals. The host

guarantees the number based on the number of

YES RSVP's. And, if it is for a workshop or semi-

nar, the host may have the expense of printing

more handouts than will be used. This is not only

a waste of paper, but also a waste of money and

time. (respect/kindness/courtesy) In the end, all

the hoopla is in the interest of bringing back old

fashioned, good etiquette, respect, kindness and

courtesy, when you receive an invitation to

attend something, please give the person who

sent you the invitation the courtesy of respond-

ing. And, that includes responding NO if you are

unable to attend. AND, if you have responded

YES, you will attend and something changes in

your plans, give the courtesy of contacting the

host directly to change your RSVP as soon as you

know.

This brings me to the last point.

Please be aware of this when you are considering

attending. If you know you want to attend but your

budget won’t let you pay the whole fee, contact the

host and see if you can make arrangements for a pay-

ment plan. Sometimes an event gets cancelled due to

lack of early RSVP’s and advance payments. Your inter-

est is what drives the invites, and most people are will-

ing to work with you on this as the event is also near

and dear to them.

And, just as important, even if it is a free event to

attend, the host still has to plan for seating, materials,

etc. and may be paying a fee to use a facility or confer-

ence line(s). Please don’t think it doesn’t matter if you

don’t RSVP since it is free. It is always professional,

kind, and courteous to RSVP.

A Special Note to Hosts.

So that your guests can RSVP in a professional, respon-

sible, kind and courteous manner, be sure to include

your contact information in the invitation along with

the location. A habit that some hosts have begun doing

in their social media and email invitations is to say that

once someone has registered they will receive the loca-

tion of the event. By not providing at least the city

where the event will take place you have made it diffi-

cult for your invited guest to respond responsibly.

Personal Interview….

What makes you different from other chiropractors?

For the last five years, I have spent most of my time learning about nutrition and

functional medicine. This means that I not only have a much deeper understanding

of nutrition than the majority of chiropractors and doctors, but I am able to do

special tests to make sure that the program I prescribe is what your

body needs as well as monitor its effectiveness .

Most chiropractors see nutrition as an add-on to their adjusting practice. I see chiro-

practic adjustments as a compliment to my functional medicine practice.

How does your nutritional counseling differ from that of a nutritionist or a dietitian?

Great question! Unfortunately, the USDA and the American Dietetic Association (ADA)

control the education for both of these more common degrees. in order to keep their

licenses active, dietitians often have to go to events that are heavily sponsored and

influenced by corporations such as Pepsi, McDonalds, Mars and General Mills. I be-

lieve that all nutritionists and dietitians are well intentioned, but much like medical doc-

tors and “big pharma”, they often operate within a broken system.

For this reason, rather than pursuing one of these degrees I have recently decided to

continue to broaden my knowledge of nutrition elsewhere. Starting this fall I will be

working on my certification to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, which I be-

lieve will compliment my practice style beautifully.

How does this differ from the nutritional recommendations that other chiropractors make?

Chiropractors, generally speaking, have a much better understanding of nutrition than

other doctors. However, most chiropractors don’t have the breadth of

knowledge needed to tailor a nutrition and supplement plan to you as

an individual- especially if you suffer from a chronic condition .

Some Answers to the Dramatic Increase in

Cardiovascular Disease in Women

In the US, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the #1 killer, and strokes affect more than a million Ameri-

cans every year.

These statistics were mainly for men until recently, but now CVD is the cause of over half the deaths in

women. One of the reasons is that women are now more high profile in business, and that can come with a

high price tag: Stress. Another is the deterioration of our diets.

CVD is particularly dangerous for women, as it has different symptoms than it has for men and is often

overlooked, even by cardiologists. My best friend called her doctor and told him that she thought she had a

heart attack, but it went undiagnosed for days, and she died, leaving her husband with 2 young children to

raise.

While it is too late for her, there is growing research and evidence of the effectiveness of natural ways to

combat this epidemic.

DIET

The Standard American Diet (aptly, SAD) is high in saturated fats from animal meats, eggs, butter, and fried

foods.

Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids strengthen artery walls, lower cholesterol. Virgin olive oil, seeds,

green leafy vegetables, spirulina, borage and primrose oils are also powerful allies, as well as blueberries

oats, seeds, legumes onions, peppers, and green foods. Studies have also linked increased fiber to cholester-

ol reduction and vascular health.

Botanicals and Supplements

Cayenne, Cilantro, Ginger, Grapeseed Extract, Hawthorn, and Reishi Mushrooms have been used for their

therapeutic effects on cardiovascular health since ancient times.

CoQ10, magnesium, B6, and L- Carnitine have been tied to decreases in angina, hypertension, and coronary

events, because they increase oxygen levels and dilate arteries. Calcium, potassium, boron and zinc are also

important.

Page 15: UWI July/ August 2014

Ultimate Woman International July/ August 2014

Note: Supplements and botanicals should be from a

reputable manufacturer, preferably one with an in-

house lab that can identify heavy metals or microorgan-

isms.

EXERCISE

Most people know that aerobic exercise is crucially par-

amount for CV health, but many don’t know why. It can

lower blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL, heart rate, and

the risk of blood clots. CVD has to do with the lack of

elasticity and strength in the all blood vessels, not just

the heart, and exercise is a big part of preventing that.

STRESS

The world has never been more stressful, especially for

women, and stress has been incontrovertibly linked

with CVD, as it increases hypertension and stress relat-

ed habits such as smoking or drinking.

Deep breathing, massage, yoga, hypnosis, and

guided imagery promote relaxation and increase the

“feel good” chemicals like endorphins, decreasing many

of the damaging effects of stress.

Pharmaceuticals may or may not be part of the

solution, but a nutritious diet, exercise, botanicals, key

supplements, and stress reduction are solutions to this

epidemic that are often not given enough attention.

Goal setting is a powerful tool for moti-

vating yourself to turn your vision of the future into

reality.

The process of setting goals helps you

choose where you want to go in life. By knowing

precisely what you want to achieve, When you con-

centrate your efforts. You'll also quickly recognize

the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.

Time management is everything!

Why Set Goals?

According to mindset, goal setting is used by top-

level athletes, successful business-people and

achievers in all fields. Setting goals gives you long-

term vision and short-term motivation .

It focuses your acquisition of knowledge, and helps you to organize your time

and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life.

After all,, Success is the Real Goal.

By setting defined goals, you will be able to measure and take pride in the achieve-

ment of those goals, and you'll see forward progress in what might previously have

seemed a long pointless grind. Your self-confidence will increase as you recognize

your own ability and competence in achieving the goals that you've set.

Let’s get started

First you create your "big picture" of what you want to do in the next 10 years and

identify the large and smaller goals. Once you have your plan, you start working on it

to achieve these goals. Keep yourself accountable. Follow through , and keep mov-

ing forward. We start the process of goal setting by looking at your lifetime goals.

Then, we work down to the things that you can do in, say, the next five years, then

next year, next month, next week, and today, to start moving towards them.

Cover all important areas in your life, try to set goals in some of the following

categories (or in other categories of your own, where these are important to you):

Page 17: UWI July/ August 2014

Ultimate Woman International July/ August 2014

Keep

ing y

our g

oals a

priority

! Career – What makes you happy? How far do you want to reach?

Financial – What is you financial threshold? Financial security level?

Family – Kids? Are you able to plan and provide. Time, trips? If so, how are

you going to be a good parent? How do you want to be seen by a partner or by

members of your family.

Attitude – Is any part of your mindset holding you back? Is there any part of

the way that you behave that upsets you? Find a solution, and stay professional.

Physical – Is your health Important? Take time to exercise your body and

mind. Make time for personal development.

Pleasure – How do you want to enjoy life? Remember to take time for you!

Brainstorm, and then select one or more goals in each category that best reflect

what you want to do. Then consider trimming again so that you have a small num-

ber of really significant goals that you can focus on.

When you create a personal mission statement, you make one of your

personal goals supremely important. This gives you the best possible chance of

achieving it, which is essential for certain types of goal. However, if you focus exclu-

sively on one goal, you'll inevitably have to de-emphasize others., that’s ok accom-

plished as many as your can. Make sure that you're happy to do this, and make sure

that people who are important to you don't suffer as a consequence.

Mission Versus Vision

Mission statement – This defines your purpose. It's what you ultimately want to

achieve in your life or career, expressed in a specific, measurable way.

Vision statement – This is a bit more emotional. Here, you de-

fine your core values, and how you'll apply those values to

your mission.www.mindset.com Check it our a must have for

What the women say: “I want to thank you for an amazing retreat. I’m amazed at how powerful it was. I’m still feeling the effects. It was hard work taking a look inside and being honest with myself at my patterns and where I’m at today in my life and what I want to change.” ~ 2013 Festival of the Spirit Re-treat Attendee ”I wanted to let you know how grateful I am that I went [to Prescott Retreat] and also to thank you for providing the opportunity to connect with other women and with myself. Your work is so important because as women, we need to come together and have a safe place where there’s unconditional love so that we can look closer inside. Thank you again.

The summer months can be

hot in many areas of the U.S some places like Arizona

are dangerous temperatures

Here are some safety tips to keep you pets cool and

healthy. Never leave your pets alone in the car. This

can be dangerous and if hot can cause a heat stroke or

even death.

"It's important to remember that it's not just

the ambient temperature but also the humidity that

can affect your pet," says Dr. Barry Kellogg, VMD, of

the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association.

"Animals pant to evaporate moisture from their lungs,

which takes heat away from their body. If the humidity

is too high, they are unable to cool themselves, and

their temperature will skyrocket to dangerous levels—

very quickly."

Get some dog shoes this can not only pro-

tect your dogs feet but they have some cute fashion as

well. Don’t Leave Your Pet in a Parked Car Never leave

your pet unattended in a parked car for any period of

time.

On a warm day, the temperature in a car can

exceed 120° in a matter of minutes—even with the

windows partially open. Your pet can quickly suffer

brain damage or die from heatstroke or suffocation.

Pet Safety Tips for Summer

If your pet Is exposed to high temperatures:

Look for signs of heat stress—heavy panting,

glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a stagger-

ing gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue. If

your pet is overheated, move him to a cooler area

and take these emergency steps:

Gradually lower his body temperature by

applying cool (not cold) water all over his body or

soaking him in a cool bath. Place cool, wet towels

over the back of the neck, in the armpits, and in the

groin area. You may also wet the ear flaps and paws

with cool water. Direct a fan on the wet areas to

speed evaporative cooling. You may offer fresh, cool

water if your dog is alert and wants to drink. Do not

force your pet to drink. Take your pet immediately

to a veterinarian—it could save his life. Call ahead, if

possible, to be sure your veterinarian is available For

Many people tell me they would never consider doing hypnosis because they don’t want someone

controlling their mind or making them do something embarrassing - like parading around, squawking

like a chicken. I chuckle when I hear that, because I know they’ve probably watched a stage hypno-

tist in action, whose primary objective is to provide fun, laughs and entertainment.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to address issues that may be difficult to change for many

people, on a conscious level. Challenges such as insomnia, pain, anxiety, stress, fear, guilt, depres-

sion or anger can manifest in numerous unwanted negative behaviors. Many people feel stuck and

out of control in their lives, thinking there’s nothing they do about it. But hypnosis is a way for you to

take back control and feel more relaxed.

Hypnotherapy can be helpful to positive-

ly re-program your conscious mind in a posi-

tive way, breaking negative, limiting patterns

of thinking and behaving. You may conscious-

ly want to change or break a habit, but your

unconscious mind can and will resist. It

doesn’t want to change because its job is to

protect you, keep you safe and keep your life

the same. The unconscious (or subconscious)

mind is the real brains behind your thoughts. It

automatically remembers and processes eve-

ry bit of information you’ve ever learned, seen,

heard or felt. All of our habitual and controlling

behaviors live within our unconscious minds,

Hypnotherapy, Will It Make You Squawk like A Chicken?

Most people go into a hypnotic state easily. Think of a time when you drove down a highway

and you don’t remember driving or seeing any landmarks. You were under highway hypnosis. What

about when you can become so engrossed in watching a TV show or reading a book that when

someone speaks to you - you don’t see or hear them? You slipped into a natural hypnotic trance.

During the hypnotic process, no one can make you do anything against your own moral code. The

key for hypnosis to be successful, is for you to be motivated to change from within. If you want to

please someone else, it won’t work. Making any kind of change has to be your decision. But once

made, hypnosis is an easy, safe tool that has helped millions of people like you, create positive, life-

affirming changes in your thinking, feelings and habits.

If you have an issue that has been troubling you and would like to address it in a hypnotherapy ses-

sion, email Isadora Dahlen: [email protected]
