How time flies! I can scarcely believe that it is already August, where has the year gone? Soon the Christmas music will be playing in the shops! I am sure you are all looking forward to the warm weather, I know I am.

This month there is a great article on Swine Flu from the BBC with some interesting facts on the medicines available to treat the flu and as a parent the significant impact on your child if you choose to treat the flu with antiviral drugs. Please read so that you can make an informed decision.

Don’t forget to become a fan of THW on Facebook!

For the Spirit:

"You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not

for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for

what you think, because it is only at this level that you

can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think."

— Foundation for Inner Peace: Publisher of Course in Miracles

For the Body:

Flu drugs 'unhelpful' in children

Research has cast doubt on the policy of giving antiviral drugs to children for swine flu.

Work in the British Medical Journal shows Tamiflu and Relenza rarely prevent complications in children with seasonal flu, yet carry side effects.

For the Mind-Body Connection:

3 Shocking Facts about the Air in Your Home

Air pollution is obvious when you're caught in a plume of fumes from a diesel truck or when the wind blows smoke in your face from a camp fire or grill, but even when you can't see the air, it can still be heavily contaminated. Even more importantly, the worst air is generally inside, where most people spend roughly 90% of their time.

For the Soul:

“What lies before us and what lies behind us are small things compared to what is WITHIN us” Emerson.

Winter for me has been a long one, and as we are on our way out of hibernation and snuggling at home at night I feel really inspired and ready for spring and all the new opportunities ahead. Most importantly, I am ready to be renewed from the inside out and encourage you to follow the seasons and have a look at what emotional, physical and mental ‘spring cleaning’ you can do.  

Keep well, keep healthy, and keep thriving!
