Are you HOOPING to lose weight this season?

HOOPING IS A GREAT WAY TO STAY FIT!

Read about a pioneering entrepreneur taking charge of her life and inspiring others to be fit while having fun. 














Phat Hoops started in 2010 building and selling weighted sport hoops in Clark County.  Since then they have grown and now are a part of many organizations to help get everyone hooping in our community.  From sponsoring the hoop contest at the Clark County Fair to working with Young Women in Action, they have dedicated themselves to helping others lose inches and have fun doing it!  A Phat Hoop is a great addition to your exercise program. You can use it as part of an overall fitness program, to add variety to your workouts, or simply as a fun way to get more active.  Phat Hoops are bigger and heavier than traditional hoops.  This makes it easier to keep going and gives you the ability to do it for a longer period of time. Hooping is a low intensity workout that burns about 200 calories in 30 minutes and allows you to have fun while losing excess inches!  No more crunches and sit-ups that could strain your back and your neck.

Here are just a few more of the benefits:

Tones Muscles

Because your muscles must be in constant motion to keep the hoop moving, hooping is an easy way to tone and strengthen the muscles in the abdomen, hips and legs. Phat Hoops are larger, weighted hoops with more resistance to strengthen muscles faster.

Builds Coordination

In order to keep a Phat Hoop moving, you must move in a steady rhythm with good timing. Using a Phat Hoop may seem challenging at first, but the more you do it the easier it becomes as your coordination increases.

Fun Activity

One of the best benefits of hooping is that it is just plain fun. Using a hoop is a great way for adults to reconnect with their inner child and play. You can hoop to music or with others to make it even more enjoyable.

Dollar Per Month™ (DPM™) has announced it’s three charity partnerships for January 2013

Seattle, Washington — January 1, 2013

Dollar Per Month™ (DPM™) has announced it’s three charity partnerships for January 2013. The online non-profit fundraising site raises money for different charity partners every month, by having members donate as little as a dollar per month to their selected organizations. Proceeds from January membership donations will go to Generation Rescue, Giving Children Hope, and Kids in Need Foundation.

Generation Rescue is the leading national organization that provides hope, information and immediate treatment assistance to families affected by autism spectrum disorders.  Jenny McCarthy says, “I remember the day Evan was diagnosed with autism like it was yesterday. The doctor told me there was no hope or help for him. Thankfully I found Generation Rescue and was inspired by the parents before me to find a different answer”. In support of the DollarPerMonth.org partnership with Generation Rescue, Jenny has provided 6 free signed books for a giveaway. You can enter here, no donation or purchase required: http://bit.ly/ZQAvE6

Giving Children Hope works with diverse individuals and communities both locally and around the world, supplying projects that address and focus on the needs of children and serve the poor. They promote family sustainability, economic independence, and self-sufficiency so that children may grow in stable environments.

Kids in Need Foundation’s mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. School supplies to students and teachers through the Kids In Need National Network of Resource Centers, teachers are awarded grants, and school supplies are given to needy communities.

Doug Clerget, co-founder of DPM™ believes “DollarPerMonth.org is a unique way to give to charity because it handpicks deserving charities monthly and conveniently presents them to our members, who often have busy lifestyles. More importantly, our members are exposed to new and important charity organizations they may not have been aware of previously.”

Each month, DPM™ selects three charities for members to vote on. DPM™ then posts information about the charities to help members evaluate each and make their vote.  DPM™ has already carefully investigated and evaluated all three charities to ensure they are reputable, making a positive impact on the world and that the vast majority of donations will go directly to the cause.  The winning charity receives 50% of the community donations, the 2nd receives 30%, and the 3rd receives 20% – no charity loses!

Peace: Your Souls Purpose

There are some great practitioners that have graced us with their presence and today I had the pleasure of going to Reverent Lisa Aschoff's meditation course — Peace: Your Souls Purpose.
She has been traveling and found a few locations in the Portland Oregon Metro area to share her gifts.

Today I entered her class with an open mind. I left feeling at peace, full of love and light. I enjoyed her presence. Her guidance of spiritual growth was exceptional.

She will continue to share her gifts in the Vancouver/Portland Metro area. Sign-up early for her next course, as they are predicted to fill quickly.

Remember to sign-up for her next course, it may be just what your soul needs.
