We have been blessed to attract an amazing team of people who are committed to, involved with, and nurturing DoshaCare. As we begin the holiday season my heart is filled with gratitude for the talented and committed people who have come into my life. During the holiday season I am going to share stories of some of these graceful souls.</p>
<p>The first is the Paladin Law Group® LLP. What is a Paladin? It is a heroic champion and a strong supporter or defender of a cause. Bret Stone, Ed Quevedo, and Sarah Isabel Parriott are keeping the promise of their brand in the work they are doing with DoshaCare. </p>
<p>Earlier this year we embarked upon a process to make DoshaCare one of the first personal care product companies to build not just a social and environmentally responsible brand, but to take it a step further and build a complete supply chain from cradle to grave that operates under a sustainable management system (SMS). Together with Paladin Law Group we are making great progress. We are so committed to this process that we are moving to put sustainablity in our brand name: Daily, Organic, Sustainable, Healthy, Ayurvedic Care. </p>
<p>To learn more about Paladin Law Group go to www.paladinlaw.com.<br />
To learn more about SMS and why it is important to our future, go to http://www.sustainablelifemedia.com/research/2009_sustainability_initiatives_report.<br />
To learn more about DoshaCare&#8217;s our work in this area, visit our blog and website in the future as we make our progress public.</p>
<p>For now, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.<br />
Visit our Facebook and Twitter accounts for a special holiday offering.<br />
Remember that we continuously interacting with, digesting and recycling the elements of nature as we move through out the world.<br />
Move this season with grace and gratitude.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Oh, the weather outside is frightful.  But, hopefully, your skin is not.  The hustle and bustle of these action-packed days makes us all wish for a few more silent nights.  As jingle bells are ringing and angels are singing, it becomes all the more important to take care of ourselves and take stock of our lives. </p>
<p> At DoshaCare, we have just what Santa ordered.  Keep shining through the holiday season by following these eight enlightening pathways to a healthier, happier, more radiant you:</p>
<p>1.            <strong><em>Rituals:</em></strong>  Rejuvenate the mind and body with a daily ritual that allows you to honor and respect who you are, and your contribution to the world. </p>
<p>The simplest ritual can help you honor yourself – brushing your hair, applying lotion or taking a moment to look at your reflection in a mirror.</p>
<p>2.            <strong><em>Routine:</em></strong>  Develop a consistent pattern to rise and retire each day.  Ask yourself how much sleep you need each night and identify one change that might help you achieve a more consistent pattern in your daily routine.</p>
<p>3.            <strong><em>Self Massage:</em></strong>  Digest, transform and nourish the body by loosening and releasing the vital life energy fluids moving throughout the body.  Try using a dry brush on your skin to soften skin and stimulate blood flow.</p>
<p>4.            <strong><em>Quiet Reflection:</em></strong>  Daily reflection and meditation allows you to observe yourself and determine whether what you carry from the past is serving you in the present.  Take five minutes to close your eyes and sit quietly.  Focus on the air as it moves in and out of your nose.</p>
<p>5.            <strong><em>Daily Exercise</em></strong>:  Movement balances the mind, body and spirit.  Explore the form of exercise that best serves you.  Don’t forget to stretch and focus on breathing. </p>
<p>6.            <strong><em>Vibrant Foods:</em></strong>  Our bodies need healthy, natural, dense foods to serve as the raw building materials for energy and functionality.  Choose foods that are organic, whenever possible, and that offer protection from the elements and nutrients that support the immune system.  Experiment with eating foods that represent the  6 senses of taste:  sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent. </p>
<p>7.            <strong><em>Hydration:</em></strong>  Drink water and eat liquid-based foods throughout the day to keep the metabolism working.  The clearer the liquid, the better.</p>
<p>8.            <strong><em>Affirmations:</em></strong>  Our thoughts create reality.  A conscious choice to live a happy, healthy life will trigger the immune system to release hormones that invigorate and feed every cell of the body.  Visualize the future you want, and carry it with you throughout your journey.   You can even write down your goal on a piece of paper and look at it every day over a period of 21 days to keep you motivated.</p>
<p>Have a happy, healthy, radiant holiday season.</p>
