Online Wellness Association is now three years old! This year a lot of the focus is going to be in drawing the public to the site to find services from OWA Members. A benefit of membership with Online Wellness Association is having the directory that links potential clients directly to your website for FREE. There are no hidden charges. OWA does not have a ‘capture’ list that forces someone to ’sign in’, or ‘join’. Potential clients arrive at the OWA site and can simply click on either the ‘Professional Directory’ or the individual ‘Health Services’. Your directory will come up in either area. Comparing the cost of membership to an internet, or printed, ad of this size and quality is a good value for your advertising dollars. Most importantly, it legitimizes you in the field that you practice. Online Wellness Association will continue to build an internet format for you, the practitioner, to offer your services, build credibility, and attrack clients. Also, we will continue to educate the public on understanding the importance of knowing who they are contracting services with, and feel confident and safe using those services. Make this year the year YOU join Online Wellness Association. To see if you qualify as a member go to: http://www.onlinewellnessassociation.com, click ‘How to apply’.
Many wellness practitioners are still not understanding how the internet can help grow their practices. When asked about joining Online Wellness Association, they may say “I am a massage therapist. I don’t treat clients over the internet.” Well, of course not. BUT, the internet provides opportunities to establish any practices credibility. Of course, just putting up a website isn’t all that it takes–that just builds the infrastructure for the internet marketing plan. If I Google “massage therapist", over 12 million site possibilities come up. If I narrow the search just to my town, over 80 thousand site possibilities come up. The task becomes getting YOUR site up in the first page. For just the cost of the membership,Online Wellness Associations helps members gain visibility on the internet through the Professional Directory, direct links to individual websites, blogging, Spotlight therapist, and an article directory. Once accepted as a member, there are no hidden fees or cost attached to any of these services.

Reflecting back through 2008 I ponder the growth of Online Wellness Association. To date it has been three years to develop the site and the company to where it is today. When I started OWA, like most novice Internet business dreamers, I thought if I “built it, they would come". How wrong and naive I was back then. Today, I better understand the complexities of building a 21st Century pardaigm that involves developing a product that is dependent on others knowledge of technology, educating the focus of people eligible for membership, marketing to the public, and integrating into the ever changing world economy. As I am writing this I am reviewing incidents over just this past year that were connected with each of these challenges. A few months ago I realized that I had been living in my ego to get Online Wellness Association up and running; that was an inspiring lesson for me to realize. In my private practice I teach my clients to live in awareness vs ego. Having reviewed my own teaching notes, I have been working on getting out of my own way so that OWA can continue growing. I continue to believe in the mission of Online Wellness Association: to build a safe internet platform for wellness practitioners to offer their services, AND, for the public to access those services safely and confidently. This year I will be walking more in awareness for the healthy continued growth of Online Wellness Association. While I will continue to populate the site with qualified practitioners, 2009 will, most likely, be devoted to educating both OWA potential members and the general public on why Online Wellness Association is a valuable internet resource.Are you coming aboard in 2009?

This is my weekly column published in the Springfield Times, Springfield, OR, January 2, 2009:
Dear MAx,
I have a friend that is more like my sister. We met in our early twenties. I remember the day that we met, she was high on pot and invited me to Happy Hour where I immediately learned that she had a great capacity for tequila. But, we were in our twenties, and partying was the ‘thing’ to do. We have remained very close over the decades raising our children as extended family, and loving each other unconditionally. Unfortunately, she has never stopped partying! She continues to smoke pot daily, and thinks closing business deals of booze is still acceptable. The problem is that now that both of our kids are teenagers, we seemed to have run into opposing value systems: she allows her teens to openly smoke pot, I don’t think it is appropriate for my kids to smoke pot, or drink alcohol. We are both in our early 50s, how can I get my friend to grow up?!

Dear Lisa,
Recently I wrote on my blog about the growing issue of addiction among aging boomers. I got several responses back expressing their surprise about learning that there is an issue in this age group. For any of you that were part of the 60s/70s peak Boomer era, you may remember the one of mottos for that time “Living Well Through Better Chemistry” as participants of the LSD age “turned on, tuned in, dropped out”. Ahh, those were the days. Or were they? A study conducted between 2003 and 2005 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) indicated that illicit drug use by people in their 50s increased by more than 60%. Interestingly, this well educated, often professional, demographic lives a dichotomy lifestyle: on one hand being health nuts while on the other being poly-med users while in pursuit of health, youth, and happiness.
Smoking pot is controversial on several levels. I have lived in communities that seem to have a consensus that adults smoking pot is acceptable even though it is illegal (without a “medical card”). The problem with this consensus of thought is that kids don’t get the ‘adults’ part of the behavior. Then, the adults begin to complain about the kids smoking pot, the high rate of high school dropouts, and the non-motivation to move ahead in life.
The thing about partying in the twenties is that, as Americans, it is ‘what we’re suppose to be doing’. The problem is when it is time to stop, some people can stop with no problem, but there are the ‘others’ that can’t stop at any cost. This defines people that are addicts, and people that are not.
It must be very difficult for you to continue to witness your lifelong friend’s addiction, and to watch her pass this behavior on to the next generation. The most important thing to remember is that we don’t have the ability to change other people. We can try to influence them into a healthier lifestyle, but, if they are comfortable where they are at, it would be a waste of time and energy to try to change them. However, we can change how we relate to that person. For instance, educating your own children about the consequences of abusing drugs and alcohol; and, keeping open dialogue with them about their observations and experiences of what is happening outside of your home.
Painful as it may be for you, lovingly distancing yourself from your friend when she is under the influence may help you continue the friendship. Remember that letting go of someone does not mean to stop caring or loving them, it means acknowledging that they are on their own journey, learning their own consequences, and affecting their own destinies. Letting go is accepting what is, taking care of yourself and your family, and being there when the person you love and care about needs support.
