Getting Up Again
I come from a long line of rough houser. When I was a kid I'd wrestle with my little girl and boy friends. Under water was the best. My sister once clobbered me and gave me a bloody nose. At least that is how she tells the story. As I got older, I wrestled less and got more fearful. Instead of blows, I got teased and bullied. I didn't make a wise crack back...I would cry.
Now I want to learn how to take the blows that life dishes out...mainly emotional and physical. I am starting to rough house again. I am getting out again and learning how to weave away from danger. Also I am learning to recover quickly and bounce back into action. It feels great to let my Dragon out. RRRRRRRHHHHGGGGGGG!!!

The Power of Exercise
The Power of Exercise
Sweat dripping down my spine.
Thoughts of muscles bulging from my arms
Getting stronger everyday
Believing in myself
Breathe
Do those squat
Kick some butt
You are getting a cute butt
Whoa, look at me run!
It is my own pace..I am running :)
Another five minutes...
30 minutes and I am still breathing
40 minutes and I am breathing...
I am craving yogurt
Usually I crave chocolate when I am all sweaty
Not today buddy
Yogurt and sushi
I am engaging the warrior within me.
The one who is fearless,
who could fly through the air in a back hand spring to back flip and land that dismount
I am running again .... I feel my fire.... flying again..whooaaa!

A Grief Group from Brownstone Therapeutics
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
For more information, please contact Laura Brownstone, LCSW, at 773-983-0237.
(January 30, 2007)
A new psycho-educational, grief support group will start March 22 and will run until May 3 in the Rogers Park area. The support group will be sponsored by Brownstone Therapeutics..
“Grief feels all consuming, overwhelming and crazy making. You could be sitting on a crowded bus and feel an ocean of tears well up in your eyes or you could be in a supermarket and feel great longing for the one you lost. These are both normal reactions to grief. Grief is a whole body response to a loss which feels devastating to the soul and spirit,” said Laura Brownstone, LCSW.
As an experienced facilitator, Laura Brownstone, LCSW, plans to lead a psycho-educational grief support group for those who have suffered past and recent losses. She would like to invite those who are ready to let some of their grief be expressed and witnessed in a safe space. She encourages use of creativity and members’ own imaginations to lead them to further healing. Ms.Brownstone also uses some didactic learning as well as provides a focus on the mind, body and spirit.
By their friends and family, people are told to get “over it and to stop wallowing.” This may not be helpful advice. Embedded grief over time does affect the whole person. “In doing necessary grief work, people can feel less crazy, more grounded in the present and better able to imagine their future,” added Laura Brownstone, LCSW.
When: Thursday, March 22- May 3 from 6-7:30 p.m.
Where: East Rogers Park, 1227 West Jarvis, Chicago, by the lake.
Who: Anyone who wants support for their loss and feels capable of being in a new group. Cost: $35 per group.
Facilitated by Laura Brownstone, LCSW. Sponsored by Brownstone Therapeutics. Ms. Brownstone has at least seven years of experience working with grief and loss. If you wish to participate, please call, Laura Brownstone, LCSW, at 773-983-0237.
