A HUGE personality and an extremely talented artist (one of her pieces above) she was extremely giving of her time and talent. A local art teacher for years, she graced One. with many of her beautiful designs (including the shell wreath you may have admired on one of our treatment room doors) Thank you Terri for your constant enthusiasm, joy, lack of filter, and zest for life. Your memory lives on with all you have touched.

Jeff Masenheimer, LAC and the Treatment of Allergies
Are you having sinus issues due to allergies? Did you know that acupuncture and Chinese medicine are a safe and effective natural approach to resolving allergies whether they are seasonal or household related. There are different factors involved with allergies but most of the time your body’s immune system is weak, causing it to have a stronger reaction to allergens.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine
have been known to strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body.
Schedule an appointment for acupuncture with Jeff today and experience these benefits first hand.

Forgetfulness
The name of the author is the first to go
followed obediently by the title, the plot,
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel
which suddenly becomes one you have never read,
never even heard of,
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,
to a little fishing village where there are no phones.
Long ago you kissed the names of the nine Muses goodbye
and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag,
and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,
something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps,
the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.
Whatever it is you are struggling to remember
it is not poised on the tip of your tongue,
not even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen.
It has floated away down a dark mythological river
whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall,
well on your own way to oblivion where you will join those
who have even forgotten how to swim and how to ride a bicycle.
No wonder you rise in the middle of the night
to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war.
No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted
out of a love poem that you used to know by heart.

Am I too old to build muscle? What science says about sarcopenia and building strength later in life
Published: May 16, 2023 9.27pm EDT
Sarcopenia is the progressive and accelerated loss of muscle mass and strength as we age.
The term was coined in the 1980s, and the condition has been recognized as a disease for less than a decade, but the concept is as old as time: use it or lose it.
Sarcopenia increases your risk of falls, fractures, hospitalization, loss of independence and many other chronic diseases.
However, people who are active in early life and maintain this as they age can delay or prevent the onset of sarcopenia.
Clinical trials have consistently shown all adults – even very frail people over the age of 75 – can make significant gains in muscle mass and strength by doing progressive resistance training at least twice a week. The improvements can be seen in as little as eight weeks.
It is NEVER too late to start!

Should You Wear Shoes In Your Home?
Wearing shoes in the house is gross
About a third of the matter building up inside your home is from outside, either blown in or tramped in on those offensive shoe bottoms
Perspective by Mark Patrick Taylor and Gabriel Filippelli
April 3, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
The matter building up inside your home includes not just dust and dirt from people and pets shedding hair and skin.
Some of the microorganisms present on shoes and floors are drug-resistant pathogens, including hospital-associated infectious agents (germs) that are difficult to treat.
Jennifer's solution: Have 2 pairs of "inside shoes" rotate them each day and do not wear these shoes outside. If you prefer to use slippers, avoid those without backs on them and use slippers with arch support and good traction on bottom.

Happiness is fleeting. Aim for fulfillment.
It can be achieved when you accept who you are, make the most of what you have and are optimistic about the future
Advice by Gregory Scott Brown, MD
May 19, 2023
Happiness is an emotion, not a state of being. Emotions such as happiness and sadness aren’t supposed to last. They come and go.
Seeking happiness as the ultimate goal is like running after a moving target. And we may feel even more depressed or anxious because we are setting unrealistic expectations about what is achievable.
Unlike happiness, fulfillment is a state of being. It is achieved when you accept who you are, make the most of what you have and are optimistic about the future.

Start The Adventure In Reading (STAIR)
A local non-profit that provides reading intervention services to second graders throughout Anne Arundel County that is ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help them achieve their goals.
Read on for their most recent accomplishments
Start The Adventure In Reading (STAIR)-Annapolis Celebrates Graduations
(Annapolis, Md May 24, 2023) Twelve schools in Anne Arundel County graduated 96 students from STAIR (Start The Adventure In Reading) this May. STAIR, a non-profit that matches volunteer tutors with second graders striving to improve their reading skills, provides one-on-one reading intervention in a loving, supportive environment. At this year’s celebrations, parents and teachers raved about the growth they saw in students’ pride, confidence and communication skills as each child read to the audience and received their certificate of completion.
“We are blown away by the confidence and skill our son has learned with his reading. At the beginning of the year, we were asking to have him monitored for dyslexia because of how much he was struggling, and now he is confidently reading every bit of writing he comes across. We are a family of passionate readers, and we are so happy that our kiddo has joined us in that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” said a parent from Germantown Elementary School.
Building relationships between students and tutors is at the heart of what STAIR does. Each child works with the same tutor every week and receives caring, undivided attention during the entire hour-long session. They read together, play word games, complete writing exercises, and practice basic literacy skills like phonics and vocabulary. The bonds formed in these sessions benefit both student and tutor in real and lasting ways.
Executive Director, Jo Ann Mattson says, “At STAIR-Annapolis, we have three simple goals: to increase the reading level of second graders reading below grade level, to improve each student's sense of self-esteem and self-confidence, and to provide a nurturing environment where reading is FUN! Our students love coming to STAIR. They race in after school, excited to spend the next hour with their tutors, and our tutors are just as excited to see their students.”
Mattson goes on to say “While some students do struggle to read, studies show that those children CAN learn to read, they just may need some extra help. By working one-on-one with them in a relaxed setting where children feel empowered and encouraged to have fun, STAIR provides the tools and support children need to succeed in any area they choose, paving the way for them to have more confidence and opportunity to be leaders and innovators in our communities.”
If you are interested in volunteering for STAIR in the 2023-2024 school year, we are always looking for tutors and site coordinators!! STAIR will be holding orientations during the summer months where you can find out more. Please visit www.stairannapolis.org and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and updates.

Did You Know?
Millet is rich in dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. The insoluble fiber in millet is known as a “prebiotic,” which means it supports good bacteria in your digestive system. This type of fiber is also important for adding bulk to stools, which helps keep you regular and reduces your risk of colon cancer.
