Personal Transformation

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: Drea, where have you been?


Hello there! :D I know you’re wondering where I’ve been, what I’m doing in life and what I’m going to do with this blog.

Let me assure you that my Fight dis-ease! and Healthy Junk blogs aren’t going anywhere! I’ve been really busy this summer dealing with life and getting myself together. It’s been stressful and enlightening at the same time. I have so many plans for my future and I’m really excited to share them all with you.

Right now, I’m at my part time job. I still work at the Integral Yoga Natural Apothecary (part-time). I start teaching at the Integral Yoga Institute (NYC), this weekend for 9/13. And that’s only the beginning! I’ll let you know what’s really good next week…

oh yeah, I still have a whole lot of topics to update you on. Trust me, once I get my life in true order, there is going to be a whole new Drea and a whole new Fight dis-ease! and Healthy Junk blogs for you to enjoy.

Until next time (you know the drill)…stay strong, stay healthy, and fight dis-ease!

Movements XXI: Making Moves with WP

Well hello everyone! :D

In spite of all that is going on in my life, I’m still making movements. So much so, that I’m putting this post only on WP. I’m going to make a lot of changes to the Fight dis-ease! site in the upcoming months. I have already made one change to my Healthy Junk blog – I moved it from Tumblr to WP.com :)

I needed to make this change. I’m also going to make changes to this site (specifically) as well. I won’t mention those changes yet. I’d rather get them done and then talk about it rather than talk about it and never get it done. ;)

So when you have a chance, please check out Healthy Junk and let me know what you think! Can’t wait to hear from you and update you on the latest and greatest!

Until next time…stay strong, stay healthy, and fight dis-ease! :D

MovementsXVII

There is so much going on with me (as usual). I have made some really good connections and my Yoga teaching is growing strong. I spent a lot of time this week fixing issues on this blog as well as updating my other blog (did I tell you about it? (heu)) If I didn’t mention it yet, the name of my new blog is “Healthy Junk” and it’s a lot of fun because it’s my ego unleashed.

Fight dis-ease! is a lot more serious, orderly, and professional than Healthy Junk. So if you’re ready for all that my ego is about (an angry, complaining, cussing sassy girl), then get yourself on over to Healthy Junk! Please provide feedback on whether you like the site (or not) and what I can do to improve things over there. Even though my ego doesn’t give a damn, I still do! My spirit (and ego) wants to give you the best health information to keep you physically, mentally, and spiritually fit – regardless of how it’s wrapped up! ;)

My Yoga classes are going well. 13 people were in my first course class and I’m very excited about teaching a regular class on Sunday. :D Look for my last Movements post for all that information.

At the bottom of my blog, I have a section for donations. It took a while for me to decide to do this but I need help until I setup my services for Health Counseling and Yoga. I know you’re wondering why didn’t I just put up the services and that leads to my next “quandry.”

I mentioned before about wanting to move from Blogger to somewhere else. Back then, Blogger was giving me issues so, in frustration, I wanted to make a change. Now, it’s different. I want to broaden my horizons. I want to do more. If I’m going to put up my services, I might as well do it on a website and not on something so…limiting (it seems) as Blogger, right? And this is not about bashing Blogger. For the longest time, this platform has provided me with a way to connect to you and your health and wellness.

The downside to a website is the following questions come into play:

  • does it make sense?
  • do I have enough information to put into a website?
  • do I have enough time?
  • am I afraid of success or failure?
  • do I have the money to pay for hosting?
  • who’s going to create my logo, etc. and what do I do if I don’t have enough money for them?

So I’m asking all of you for some feedback. I wish I could put a poll within this post but I don’t think I can (and if I can, let me know how). So in my sidebar, I’m going to put up a poll so that you can help me make my decision. Even if I do choose to create a website (or at least move this blog to a platform that provides more like WordPress or Typepad), it’s going to take a lot of time for me to move things and recreate things and find another theme that I like (I know…I’m such a girly girl!)

If you notice, you may have the same kind of questions in regards to reaching and maintaining wellness. :D

So if you can, please donate. I don’t care about the amount. My editor/copywriter is very understand and loving but she can’t live on love alone. I got to pay her. So until I figure this thing out, please help me out in whatever way you can – feedback is great, donations are better.

So what is your homework for today? ;) You are to do the following things:

  1. Check out my Healthy Junk blog and let me know what you think.
  2. Check out my poll and provide feedback
  3. Donate to me.

And thank you bklynyogini (follow her on twitter) for the beautiful spring pic. Springtime is coming and I have a lot to do and plan for! I’m definitely going to keep you updated on all of it.

Until next time…stay strong, stay healthy, and fight dis-ease!
