Just a quick note to acknowledge that our beloved Karen will be away from January 15 - March 5 in India. She will be attending the ashram of her Guru, Sri Ramana Maharshi and plans to spend the majority of her time in mediation.

I know I speak for the entire CEDRIC community in expressing my joy and excitement for her on this wonderful journey. Safe travels Karen and may you return enlightened!

Love Michelle

Come and visit our booth at the Victoria Health Show, Saturday, January 20th from 10 - 6 and Sunday, January 21st from 11 - 5:30.

CEDRIC founder Michelle Morand will be speaking in the "Oak Bay Room" on Sunday, January 21st from 12 - 12:50 pm. The topic of the presentation will be: Food is not the Problem: Deal With What Is.

We welcome you to come by the talk or the booth to say hello and to enter our draw for our new 3 cd set: Natural Eating; Compassion is the Key; and Healthy Relationships.

Well, the Blog is up and running. We still have a few things to learn about blogging for sure and we're certain that over the months to come, you will initiate us!
The purpose of the CEDRIC blog is to share with you, our readers, information, insights, tools and sharing about the recovery process from using food to cope.

It is also intended to create a sense of community for those of us who in the past or present feel drawn to use food to cope for any reason.

Also, our weekly newsletters will be a little bit shorter when they arrive in your mail box as we'll be linking the articles to the blog so that you can find the whole of the weekly "Tools for Recovery" article on our blog and it doesn't seem so daunting coming through your e-mail.

So, please visit our blog; send us a comment; share with us about anything you'd like to have an article written about or any questions you have about the recovery process. It's a great gift for us to hear directly from you about what you need to know at this stage in your process.

And for those of you who aren't sure what a blog is or how to use it let me assure you it is very simple. If you visit www.cedriccentre.com/blog you'll see how easy it is to leave a comment or just to review articles.

We look forward to communicating with you over the months and years to come through our new blog.

It's Michelle Morand here, below you'll find a fabulous question that we received from a client a few months back. She has given me permission to share it with you as I am certain it's something that we all ask ourselves at many points during our healing journey Beneath her question you'll find my response and you'll find the response of CEDRIC counselor Beth Burton-Krahn. No doubt you'll resonate with something in both and whichever piece sticks with you, go with that!:

Question: I feel overwhelmed sometimes by this process and wondering what notes are important for me to keep in my little diary for checking in each day. I have so much valuable info and I have entered a lot of stuff but I keep looking at the ezines thinking, oh, I should add this to remind me of that; ways to handle situations. Any advice of what to add to diary and what to weed out?
