There’s no place like home! Bonnie
Lyon hasn’t been to the Emerald
City, nor did she wear ruby slippers
while tromping around New Mexico’s
high desert for the past five
years, but whether our children are
small or grown, when they call, we
come.
Bonnie’s call to New Mexico was
to help care for her three young
grandchildren while her middle son
Peter and his wife Katrina returned
to school and finished their university
degrees. Mission accomplished!
Bonnie’s time on the desert was
not totally consumed with childcare.
She ‘put my brain on paper’ by
writing a book titled Through the
Tunnel; Unlock the Pain of Your Past
and Find the Courage to Grow Up,
Not Just Old. The release date for this
volume of work is March 2018.
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Back home, Bonnie reconnects
with Paso Robles,
hosting The Relationship
Hour, free of charge on
scheduled Wednesday evenings
from 6:30 to 7:30 in
her downtown office located
at 1227 Park Street, Suite B.
The Relationship Hour is
fast-paced, fun-filled and knowledge
based! Bonnie will address a specific
relationship topic. Whether with
your partner, kids or siblings, you’ll
walk away armed with new insight
and practical applications to resolve
conflicts and deepen your understanding
so you can grow closer.
Bonnie offers a seven-week class
that meets for two hours where
the principles of connecting will be
taught.
Bonnie

By attending, you can
begin to understand why
you are experiencing and
interpreting life the way
you do. You’ll learn the
fundamental principles of
living consciously, which
includes
living with personal integrity
and impeccable honesty, rigorous
personal responsibility, humility,
vulnerability, openness, willingness,
transparency and boundaries.
With full seven-week attendance,
you’ll become aware of living
life from a position of emotional
honesty, reality, truth and
recognizing life’s distortions;
seeing that choice is one of life’s
greatest gifts.
Topics include integrating prin-
ciples of validation and vulnerability
into life and living in truth rather
than distortion and how to recognize
distractions and controlling
behaviors in relationships. And most
importantly, how to live a life in
peace rather than in pain. Powerful
concepts that change lives.
Text or call 286-8606 to reserve
the class or schedule a complimentary
appointment. Email Dr_

Each month, we send a set of questions
to our featured business owners and then
share their answers with our readers. For
December, we reached out to Linda Davis,
owner of A Beautiful Face Skincare, and
Stephanie Austin, owner of Wellness by
Mother Nature.
Linda is a licensed Esthetician who
treats her clients to state-of-the-art facials,
using top-of-the-line skin care equipment
and product lines. Extremely detailoriented,
her skincare facials provide not
only results, but relaxation as part of her
European and clinical protocols. Stephanie
is an honors graduate of Holistic Medicine
specializing in Homeopathy, Iridology,
and Holistic Nutrition. A certified holistic
health and nutrition coach through her
business, Wellness by Mother Nature, she
empowers people through classes, coaching,
workshops, and resources on the healing
value of nutrition and the innate selfhealing
abilities of a body in balance.
Here’s what Linda and Stephanie had
to say…
PASOMag: What do most enjoy
about doing business in North
County?
LINDA: I’d have to say it’s the
people. I have found people in
North County and throughout
SLO County to be genuinely warm,
friendly, and extremely down to
earth. My clients always put a smile
on my face!
PASOMag: Do you have any
specials you can share with our
readers?
LINDA: Yes! Earlier
this year, I brought in an
amazing skin rebuilding
treatment – DMK
Enzyme Therapy – and
my clients love it. DMK
International is the only
company in the world to utilize
transfer messenger enzymes to rapidly
restore the health, vibrancy, and
natural functioning of the skin, leaving
it firm, healthy, and nourished in
as little as one treatment. It’s a game
changer; it rebuilds the factory that
is our skin, delaying and potentially
eliminating the need for fillers and
Botox. Natural, healthy skin is in!
While this treatment is huge globally
– the Queen of England loves
DMK – I’m currently only one of
200 therapists in the United States
performing this anti-aging
service.
PASOMag: Would you
like to share a sentiment
with our readers for the
New Year?
LINDA: I would like to
wish everyone a healthy, happy, and
bright New Year. May you live as
long as you want, and never want as
long as you live!
