VanGoghs – Month of October

September 28, 2012 by Beth Leave a Comment

Happy Fall Yall!

by Kathe Hall

I love saying that!

There is so much going on this month. A Fun time of the year and one of the busiest times of the year for our local economy. So don’t forgot to Shop Local this Holiday Season!

Drum Circle Tuesday Oct 9th will be at Big Canoe at the home of Bob and Jan Williams. Please, please RSVP no later than Thursday, October 4th if you will be there. This is necessary for entrance into Big Canoe and for arranging to ride together. This is a very, very, special evening for the Drum Circle. Time will be 6pm start druming around 6:15-6:30. The Drum circle gets better and better every month and we can’t thank Bob and Jan enough for sharing their outdoors with us. (If rain, we will move inside but that’s not happening, I just know it will not…)

First Friday will be Friday Oct 12th 5-7 “Through the Looking Glass”, Featuring Local Glass Artist Jo Davis, Carrie Rupky, and Jennie Viers. Reception by Madelines. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you!

Children’s Afterschool Art ~ It grows every week, gets better and better and the children are fabulous! We just finished our Little VanGoghs Artists Scarecrow….You should see it this week, as well as all the others that will be lining the way of downtown Jasper!

We have all sorts of art projects planned for the upcoming months, Little artist cookbook, shoebox art, decorating pumpkins to drawing one of VanGoghs paintings….

ArtSpeaks~ The fourth Wednesday of every month at 10:30. Lead by Noranna Sisson, Art Therapist. Our September group brought in a lot of laughter and our session in September was just awesome. I really don’t know how to explain it…but I know for sure not a one of us left there not having learned something about ourselves and our creative spirits…It was fabulous. Just come, have a cup of java or tea and join in the chatter. $10

Festivals are everywhere and every weekend for the next few weeks! I encourage you all to get our and enjoy them. Marble Festival this weekend. 2Artchicks will have a booth! The Scarecrows ~ Thanks to all of you that created one or more. They are just awesome!!!

Apple Festival, Talking Rock Heritage Days, Splash Festival in Johns Creek (I will be there), The John C. Campbell School art show this weekend….

Thanks again for all of your support. VanGoghs continues to grow every week and there are all sorts of things planned for the upcoming year…. It’s because of you and certainly because of the children that I see each week….that keep me going!

Please remember if you come by VanGoghs and if the door is locked on the outside, you can still come upstairs through BMTC to enter VanGoghs. I am not there every day…but almost always there on the ‘calendar scheduled events’. Check out and Like VanGoghs Hideaway on Facebook for updates throughout the month!

I could just chat on and on….Come Hang Out With Us!

Hugs, Lots of Laughter and keep on being creative!

See ya soon,

Kathe

4 Steps For A Healthy And Active Mind

September 18, 2012 by Beth Leave a Comment

The beautiful Truth Of Aging –

Pickens County Georgia

With age comes the inevitable anxiety of mental decline. A common misconception is brain health is predetermined and can’t be changed – it’s the “you’re stuck with what you got” notion. But experts suggest brain health can be positively influenced throughout different stages in life.

A recent state-by-state ranking, America’s Brain Health Index, delivers data on how well Americans are successfully incorporating the four dimensions of brain health – diet and nutrition, physical health, mental health and social well-being – into their daily lives.

The top-ranked state – Maryland – scored highest on the Index because of residents’ performance on a number of health markers, including high consumption of fish rich in DHA and DHA-fortified foods and supplements, as well as a low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease-related deaths. Residents of the states that ranked the lowest (Mississippi and Louisiana) can make adjustments to help get their brains in shape. See where your state ranked at www.beautiful-minds.com.

“Whether we live in the top-ranked states or in the areas that are below average, there are several ways to nurture and engage the mind to keep it healthy throughout our lives,” says Dr. Majid Fotuhi, chairman of the Neurology Institute for Brain Health and Fitness, and assistant professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “All too often I work with patients who need to make only a few lifestyle adjustments to see a marked change in their mental acuity. It’s never too late to take action to improve your brain health.”

Four easy steps to a beautiful mind

Step 1 – Get moving
Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day to encourage new brain cells and connections to form. Walk, take the stairs instead of the elevator, play sports or do something you enjoy outdoors.

Step 2 – Nourish your body and mind
Aim for a varied diet rich in colorful, fresh fruits and vegetables, washed with the skin on to take full advantage of the nutritional punch. Maximize your intake of DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid that makes up 97 percent of the omega-3s in the brain. Find it in fatty fish (salmon, tuna) or, if you are vegetarian, you can find it in algal DHA-fortified foods and beverages like juice, milk, eggs and in algal DHA supplements, including the Algal-900 DHA and BrainStrong lines found at CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. Find other products with algal DHA at www.lifesdha.com.

Step 3 – Embrace new activities
Commit to lifelong learning, which can take the form of brain-stimulating activities, including reading, creating art, completing crosswords, learning a new language or playing a new instrument. Keep a mentally engaged mind by living with a “use it or lose it” philosophy throughout life.

“The aging process involves increasing physical and emotional change and a heightened search for meaning and purpose,” says Gay Hanna, executive director of the National Center for Creative Aging in Washington, D.C. “Expressing oneself through the creation of art can serve as a powerful way to honor life experiences. Embrace the idea of learning something new to help fuel your creative fire.”

Step 4 – Expand your social network
Stay socially connected so you feel like you’re a part of something. This can include social connections at work, in clubs, with friends and family and through volunteer groups or a religious congregation. Experts theorize that having a rich social network may also help support brain health in a variety of ways, from providing individuals better resources and support, to reducing stress and depression, to enhancing intellectual stimulation.

Inspirational stories of how people keep their minds beautiful can be found throughout the world. In the No. 1 ranked state – Maryland – 75-year-old Ernestine Shepherd transformed herself from an average middle-aged woman with a sedentary lifestyle into the world’s oldest performing female bodybuilder according to Guinness World Records. Shepherd was recently named a 2011 Beautiful Mind, a campaign honoring inspirational adults over 55 who embody the four dimensions of brain health.

“It’s important for people to know that age is just a number and you can get fit for life. Just be determined, dedicated and disciplined. But first and foremost, be positive, confident and filled with spirit,” says Shepherd.
