You are Invited to 1st Fridays 22nd Anniversary Celebration June 3rd 2016









































As a former presenter at 1st Fridays lets take a minute  to thank the Founder Warren Salmon for his continued dedication. First Fridays is a community activity club whose purpose is to organize a monthly activity(s) and/or event(s) that are focused on building and improving upon awareness, networking and information sharing for youth, adults, minority and mainstream communities in education, employment, self-employment, health and wellness, the arts and other areas of interest.  As An  Entrepreneur  the  road can be quite lonely and difficult. With that in mind, the organizers of First Fridays Have done it again.

Bye Felicia ! A Guide to Removing Emotional Vampires out of Your life

Image
Hey It's your girl JA Nursing here, how have you all been? So  as we  get closer to the end of the year it's that  time to wipe away negative people and situations out of  our lives. So one day  I heard someone say #ByeFelicia, with keeping that in mind Emotional vampires are lurking everywhere and wear many different disguises–from needy relatives to workplace bullies. Whether they do so intentionally or not, these people can make us feel overwhelmed, depressed, defensive, angry, and wiped out. The phrase " Bye, Felicia " came from the American stoner buddy crime comedy film  Friday  (1995).

Sadly, some people love  seeing the negative side of things that they leave zero room for positive things to grow. The first step to

Hi it's your Girl JA Nursing here , last week through my daily internet stroll  I found Published on : July 17, 2015   a article  By K. Aleisha Fetters  in Women's Health  which Read  Is Eating Too Much Kale Poisonous?  A nutritionist weighs in on the nasty rumors circulating about this leafy green.  To my surprise I of course clicked the linked and dove head first into the article.

So you are thinking of seeing a naturopath or a homeopath?   Did you know ? A homeopathic practitioner is trained only in homeopathy, while a naturopathic doctor has the training, education and expertise to design an overall treatment program that draws on a number of therapies, including homeopathic remedies. Knowing the difference is the start. Let JA Nursing assist with those  choices. To become a naturopath in Ontario:  let's just learn who you may be consulting about your health.
