SOL Reflections: Owned and operated by Dr. Samantha Vanderslice and Robin Arrieta.

Their mission, desire, and purpose, is to make the world a better place by offering workshops, healing services, clothing, jewelry, herbs and supplements, and other products, that enhance and heal the body, mind, and spirit, and bring happiness and joy to all who accept it.

World renowned metaphysician Dr. Samantha Vanderslice recently published her eBook on Tarot for the New Age.  Her unique approach to Tarot for the initiate will ensure maximum enjoyment, retention, and personal benefit.  If you are on the path to enlightenment, self discovery, and divination to enhance your understanding in all aspects of your life, then her eBook is a must have tool.  I highly recommend: Tarot Yourself Into The New Age.

Robin Arrieta is an incredibly gifted healer and Reiki Master with astounding abilities.  In addition to her healing gifts she also offers guided meditation classes, which include her CD.  To focus one's mind in spiritual intent is a corner stone of personal wellbeing, self worth balancing, and it brings about many other benefits.

Both Robin and Samantha understand the New Age energy so well, and are tuned in with such accuracy and focus, they are able to nurture your body, mind, and spirit, into a state of blissful wellbeing and spiritual nirvana through applied metaphysical sciences and the many products they offer.

And speaking of bliss and nirvana; all human beings are part of creation, the universe, our solar system, and the earth, and we depend on the subtle energies for our very survival, health, and wellbeing; the earth's gravity, air, water, magnetic field, and the sun, to name a few.

As humans we are all meant to live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives, but our Western culture and lifestyle can make it difficult for us to keep sight of our relationship with creation and maintain a connection with our own divinity.  We simply do not spend enough quality time on ourselves needed to maintain a well rounded human being.  Consequently, the simplest things like, improper diet, too much work and not enough play, and other situations, can make us vulnerable to emotional stress, illness, physical injury, and other conditions that do not serve us; in a word, unbalanced.

For this reason, Samantha and Robin have pioneered and developed an approach to holistic healing on the cutting edge of healing sciences by combining Therapeutic Massage with Reiki Energy Healing for one of the most effective 2 hour healing experiences available today.

Together, Samantha and Robin appropriately focus their rich talents in the physical and subtle energies in back to back 1 hour sessions allowing for continuity between healing modalities that not only realign our natural state, but establishes potentials for natural balance and healing of body, mind, and spirit, so profound the experience is appropriately named, Bliss and Nirvana.

Contact Samantha or Robin to set up an appointment and prepare to experience your natural Bliss and Nirvana - you'll love yourself for it.

On a different level, their kindness and friendship are indeed free and I consider them dear friends. Visit their website at: www.solreflections.com.  Or better yet, stop by their store and experience for yourself what they have to offer...you'll be filled with their magnificent joyful energy and whether you make a purchase or not, you'll leave with more than what you came with.

Sweet angels work here.

CRAZY?  Well no, it's FLYING CONCRETE of course!  This is art you live in...how cool is that?

People who know me know that I am absolutely crazy about the environment and all things green and eco-friendly; especially my love for light-weight concrete dome structures - and Savonius Rotors or VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine). I sincerely hope to be involved in dome construction some day and have plans to build my own dome home, and VAWT.  They are environmentally very friendly, easy on the eyes, and energy efficient in the extreme.

If you are in the least bit interested in dome shaped domiciles then you should visit my friend Steve at his website: http://www.geocities.com/flyingconcrete/. Steve is a concrete-artist and is living his dream. His work is quite obviously a labor of love and provides inspiration for thousands. Examples of his work are on the site, which shows the flexibility and tremendous possibilities that can be created with his construction style. Go on, check it out!

If you are in the Austin, TX area and need exceptional dental care, go see my friend Dr. M. Scott Monts D.D.S., M.S. and his staff of professional, truly caring, people. Dr. Monts and his staff are focused on patient care and nothing else. He and his office represent the pinnacle of health care and the mold by which the medical profession should strive to be like - the treatment of patients with dignity, respect, genuine concern, and their well being, not a number in correlation to profit, or loss. Dr. Monts is a well rounded humanitarian that provides a valuable service in both medical and patient care. I speak from experience and firmly stand behind these words.

If you are looking to buy a home or real estate in or near the Austin, TX area you must call my friend Della Newton.

 Della's Website: http://www.dellanewtonproperties.com/

When my daughter and son-in-law were ready to buy their first home it was a no-brainer, they called our family friend Della. If I can trust her with my own daughter so can you. Della is friendly, honest, and a down to earth person. But equally important, she's knowledgeable about real estate and the market, operates with high standards, and has integrity beyond reproach. Give her a call and I am sure she'll take care of you like family!

A dear friend and former Dell Inc. colleague, Brad Holt, posted a Blog. He is many things to a lot of people, but what people remember most about Brad is that he's accomplished as a person, at home, and professionally. Among other things, he's also a coffee connoisseur - naturally so, his parents own a coffee plantation in South America...how great is that? Go visit Brad's Blog: http://www.bradrholt.com.
