1. Happy Anniversary Home Spa Lady Tips of the Week!====================================================
This is our Anniversary Issue! We are One Year Old! or Young - however you want to look at it.

Home Spa Lady enters her 52nd week of sharing great tips on natural health and beauty and ways you can make every day a spa day! It is fitting for this to take place in the week of Thanksgiving because gratitude is already "in the air". I am so grateful to have gained the knowledge, experience, and resources so that I can bring you the best of research-based (even if the testing has only been done in my kitchen!) common-sense therapies, remedies, recipes, and information to help keep you empowered in your health and life. My vision for the next year is to increase subscribers by the thousands. Higher visibility of this newsletter is already taking place as Home Spa Lady is aligning with other websites that have a similar purpose.

You too can help reach that goal by sending emails with the http://www.HomeSpaLady.com link or copies of these newsletters to your friends who would be interested in receiving them.

Don't forget that all issues of these newsletters are archived at http://www.homespaladytips.blogspot.com.

I want you to know I LOVE to hear from you, so please write any time you feel so inclined to do so. And please help me reach my goal of 10,000 subscribers by next year at this time.

2. How To Eat Mindfully at Thanksgiving Dinner
===============================================
How we approach eating our Thanksgiving meal is a mindset. Whether its "meat" or "vegetarian", "sweets" or "no sweets", "permission we give ourselves to pig out" because it is a special occasion or "staying with our program", we are making these decisions in our mind now as we carry out the activities towards the Thanksgiving feast. Some of us are traveling to our dinners and some of us are staying home, shopping and preparing for this holiday. And some are even rebelling. Either way we are conjuring up in our mind show our holiday dinner is going to look and if we are going to let loose and be mindless or stay in control and be mindful.

If you want to stay mindful and not work so hard at it, here are some tips:
--Eat everything you want, but not all of what you want
--Eat slowly
--Engage in the conversation
--Eat alot of water rich foods like veggies and fruit to fill youup
--Eat a healthy breakfast that morning, and don't starve yourself before dinner
--Take digestive enzymes with dinner (YL Essentialzyme is great)
--Walk after dinner
===============================
3. My Personal Gratitude List
===============================
First of all I am grateful for learning about the power of gratitude (and I learned about it without the guilt trip, thank you Mother).

The quote in this issue from Meister Eckhart is one of the simple yet profound things that give me sustenance in my life. I believe the energy of gratitude helps us to create more of what we want. I want to express my gratitude here to the special people involved in some way to support this newsletter, Home Spa Lady, and other of my undertakings that somehow show up in front of you readers:

5. Success Tip: Meister Eckhart
===================================
"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, 'thank you,' that would suffice."
===========================================================
6.Recipe of the Week: Dress-Up Your Dinner Rolls
===========================================================
Your heat-and-serve rolls can be easily dressed up for Thanksgiving dinner by making these flavored butters:
--Cranberry-Walnut-Cinnamon Spread: blend softened butter with finely chopped dried cranberry, chopped toasted walnuts, and pinches of cinnamon
--Zesty Lemon Spread: blend softened butter with finely chopped lemon zest
--Garlic-Herb Spread: blend softened butter with finely chopped herbs such as chives and sprinkle bottled garlic powder

7. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================
Thanksgiving Divorce
A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough. "Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.

"Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this," She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."
