In an effort to promote myself more (which is something I haven’t done in a while), I not only revamped andreadownes.com but I also created a web page on betterfly.com

Check out www.betterfly.com/bhairaviandrea and let me know what you think! Is there anything I need to add or change? Do you think that I should include more services? I appreciate all feedback.

I also want to thank you for visiting this page, for whatever reason! I haven’t been posting on this page as much as I would like but I know that you’re still looking out for me and I hope you check out my Healthy Junk Blog for the latest posts on the healthier alternatives to the “luxuries” (aka junk) we love to consume!

Until next time…
Stay strong, Stay healthy, and Fight Dis-ease!





Movements XXIV: Uh Oh…Spaghetti-o’s!!

You remember that canned food, Spaghetti-O’s?? I don’t remember how the commerical went but all I remember is “Uh Oh…” LOL so now when I make a boo-boo, I say in my best kids’ voice: Uh Oh Spaghetti-O’s!!!

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’ve made some boo-boos. First off, I missed posting last week and I almost missed posting this week. Uh Oh Spaghetti-O’s! Last week, I had major computer problems so I couldn’t post and this week, I was playing catch up so it was tough even getting this in.

Here’s the thing…most people don’t care. Who wants to listen to your excuses and reasonings why? No one really. Everyone is just out for the bottom line (which is what you say you’re going to do) and if you don’t deliver, sometimes you can be in a path for a whole bunch of hurt (not physical, maybe emotional). What do you do? Sit in the corner and cry the song of the Victim??!! NO!! You get up, shake the dirt off your shoulder and keep it movin!!

Movements XXIII: I apologize for the technical difficulties (aka “Me? Posting? Every Week?”)

21 01 2011

Well hellooooooo everyone! Happy New Year and Happy New YOU!! :D

For the past couple of days, I have been dealing with technical difficulties. The permanent move to wordpress.com wasn’t as seamless as I expected. Not because of wordpress or google apps or anything technological. It was all because of me.

I have a background in IT. I have been troubleshooting computers for a good many years. I am now in a position, career wise, where I need to use these skills (blog related) so that I can move forward, yet I didn’t resolve the issue in a timely manner.

The thing with blogs and other Social Media is that you need consistency to succeed. I have learned and continue to learn (and earn) this lesson through the struggles with my own blogs and maintaining the success I did when I was on Blogger. Consistency means being efficient with your time and your energy in producing these blogs and posts – no matter the subject matter.

When I worked in IT, efficiency would give way to making sure the problem was fully resolved. A lot of times, “efficiency” meant looking for a workaround so that the user can function ‘just a little bit longer‘. However, ‘a little bit longer‘ is never long enough.

We all want to achieve this balance in life – being efficient and thorough. In this society, there are many distractions to reaching this balance and oftentimes, we mistake our expectations for our goals (they are two different things but I can talk about that another time).

Movements XXII: Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone! :D

There are new changes in my life and changes that will come to this blog. I have completely moved my blog from blogger to WordPress! With that being said, I have had an opportunity to look into my life and have a better understanding of my purpose. This year, I intend to make this understanding manifest with one pointed focus (meditation) and serve you all as a source of insight into holistic healing – mentally, spiritually, and physically.

I hope you enjoyed the essence of Christmas to the fullest. I hope that your Kwanzaa and other holiday celebrations, including the new year, will be filled with love and joy. I can’t wait to interact with you. I just can’t wait!

Jai! (Victory in Sanskrit)

Stay strong, stay healthy and fight dis-ease!





Movements XXI

Hello all!

You know, it seems like every 3 to 6 months, I disappear and reappear like nothing has happened. This is all my fault. Is it rare for a blogger to admit her faults? Is it too common for a blogger to express all of their issues in why they don’t post enough or why they will stop posting altogether?

This is a shame, I know…but this is not my reasoning for writing to you today. My reasoning is that there are going to be a lot of changes for this Fight Dis-ease! blog.

First off, I’m moving my entire blog from Blogger to WordPress! I know I have talked about it in the past but for the past year, I’ve been putting the same information on 2 different platforms. That doesn’t make any sense and opens the door for me to not post like I should. Time to stop that mess right now. ;)

If you notice at the top, I have a new menu list. That means that you can see all my Random Thoughts posts in one section, all my Movements post in one section, and so on. I also included in my new menu the “SeeYoga Blog.” This new blog that I created on Twitwall talks mostly about Yoga. Not in regards to Yoga as a healing modality to many ailments and dis-eases but as something that I am so passionate about. My SeeYoga blog gives quotes and will talk about Yoga on many different levels. In this blog, I will also include classes in the NYC area that are cheap and just plain good! I’ll also add feeds from this site to my blog so that you can get glimpses of what is going on.

There are a lot of things that I am going to do soon which will take up my time. The first change is Intermediate Yoga Teacher Training. That will be from September to December but it won’t stop me from at least posting once a month.

Of course, I’ll be doing more Yoga classes and workshops. I’ll make sure to post them ASAP. The last time I wanted to post a workshop I was doing, I didn’t put it up because by the time I was ready to do it, the event was sold out. :(

I need to make myself more available to you and as always, everything is a process but this time…it’s a process that I’m really going to keep up with. Integrity is key (along with clarity, confidence, and conviction).

As always, stay strong, stay healthy and fight dis-ease!
