YOUR weekly DOSE OF the CAT'S MEOW's:

"The Cat's Paw  Inn"  has been a dream of mine for the eventual path of "SeniorCareRN" and my private nursing practice.  

A place where humor, caring, touch therapies, education, and a crafts-site reside.  A heartfelt place to drop by and see what's new in the neighborhood.  The soft-focus as a catspaw mixed with the gentle meows of communicating good health and happiness.   In light of the "stay at home," it seemed fitting to make it virtual for now.  So find a comfortable seat and enjoy your exploration of this unique and informational site.  As with all things, nursing, holistic, complementary, or integrative ... there is always room for improvement in optimal wellness.  That is the goal of simple, small, manageable changes!

Welcome!  Have a seat and enjoy your stay. This Inn has a mission of caring, joy, and creative positivity, while educating and uniting on a different level.  To an English teacher, this would be a nightmare.  To an allopathic Dr, this may seem like "quack."   But to the millions that know the body has an innate capacity to heal and an "out of the box" common-sense mentality, this is the cat's meow.   There is no room for negativity, for stress is the beginning of "Dis-ese."   This virtual Inn stands for the simpler, more beautiful things in life that are open to all if you start each new day with gratitude, blessings and desire good health.   Happiness and joy fill our bodies with good chemicals.   Keep them flowing.  Tody is the start of your optimal heal

This is a Nursing practice, being both traditional and Integrative.  But it is also so much more.  I believe that optimal wellness should be enjoyable.  Your health is so much more than genetics.  Your sleep, water, exercise, emotions, and food are the basics of being happy in your skin (so to speak).   Many services that I provide can also be done by yourself in the comfort of your home.   I will be discussing many of these one at a time in SIMPLE words, for it is important to take baby steps along the way so that new habits will stick.  Most of the things that keep us healthy are common sense, not some gadget or expensive device.   I believe CARING is at the basis of what gives us joy and a healthy mental state.  I hope you enjoy your stroll through each weeks thoughts, pictures, and information.

The goal every new year is to feel healthier and happier.

TIP

"Baby, it's cold outside."

Cold weather does not make you sick; however, it can depress your immune system if you are already immunosuppressed or have a disease.  We now know that the outdoor "cold" weather can decrease the nasal mucosa and cilia (our 1st line of defense) against rhinoviruses.  Having said that, our current situation of covid 19 masks may be a blessing in disguise.

TIP

Although many have fur. we only have many sparse hairs that stand on end to keep us warm. 

 It's just not the same!

Research says to be best protected against the environment outside, we should dress in layers.

One should be like polyester to wick the moisture away.   The second layer should be like a wool or cotton that preserves the heat.  Lastly, the third layer should be one that deflects wind chill and moisture.
