health& wellbeing • • • • Celebrate Yourself . . . All of a sudden winter seems to be over and the cold that takes us inside is leaving. In winter we go within, to hibernate. This hibernation period is a time of gathering information, reflecting on our experiences, looking at our knowledge while finding perspective and wisdom. The winter cycle can bring out the darker side of self, and it is a time where we often sit more protected by the many layers we wrap around ourselves, or we stay inside with doors closed. Winter is a time to be still and acknowledge and if we don’t do this we will miss the chance to let go, to learn and move on. It gives us the space to get out of the way of ourselves and each other and see the path through. Spring has returned . . . allow new seeds and ideas to break through the surface, allow the light to filter through and down into those darker places. The time to celebrate new life has come, and this will help us heal ourselves. Let go, open up again, birth the new and transmute all that isn’t needed. Be in this moment, right now awaken your whole self. Take a fresh breath, not just into a small part of you, breath deeply & get a real sense of your whole self. Feel alive, be pure, stay truthful and allow the flow. Welcome spring into your open heart and birth the new you. much love from Belinda and Danielle Within Message Healing Centre withinmessage@yahoo.com.au 11 injoy injoy Hand Clapping, Foot Stomping, Soul Singing Choir singing is fun for all ages and all levels of ability.

Prize Winning First Date! A late show presenter went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize! She explained, ‘It was mid winter, snowing and cold, and we were going skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight).’ They were strangers, after all and truly had never met before. The outing was fun, the skiing great, and the coffee hot. The day was uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. ‘We were driving back down the mountain, when I gradually began to realise that I should not have had that extra latte. We were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest room and my companion recognised my discomfort and suggested I try to hold it, which worked for a while. Then there came a point where I told him that he had better stop and let me go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car.’ They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started to pee. In the deep snow she didn’t have good footing so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. He stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing however she soon became aware of another sensation. ‘As I bent to pull up my pants I discovered that my buttocks were firmly frozen against the car’s fender!’ Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment she answered her date’s concerns about ‘what is taking so long‘ with a reply that she was ‘freezing her butt off ‘ and in need of some assistance! He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and he burst out laughing. She too got the giggles, and when they finally managed to compose themselves they assessed her dilemma. Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realised that there was only one way to get her free. As she looked the other way her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her bottom off the fender. ‘Did you ever see the young man again,’ asked the presenter. ‘Yes I married him, ‘ she replied. ‘He’s sitting right here next to me.’ Be Part of the 5th Byron Bay International Film Festival The 2011 BBFF will screen for 10 days in March between the 4 th and <strong>13</strong> th , providing local filmmakers with the opportunity to present their work at a truly distinctive film festival.
