Nutmeg “Nuggets” Mindfulness Is This
days I bundled him up as we headed out the door for a neighborhood walk, he in the stroller, me pushing him from behind. We couldn’t help but notice the crisp bright blue sky brilliantly before us. Despite the frigid cold we noticed that even the birds were singing. I thought to myself “don’t birds migrate south anymore where the weather is warm and comfortable?”
R The gorgeous still of this beautiful Eagle was perched on a tree
just outside Jaxon’s bedroom window. I am so thankful their neigh- bor and family friend stopped to capture the wonder and beauty in that moment for it surely would have been missed if she had not been mindful to pause and notice.
There is magic all around us every single day if we choose to
live in the present moment. All we need to do is pause, look around, and be aware of the simple gifts that are on this earth for our enjoy- ment and pleasure. When we choose this, mindfulness will not only bring us true peace but sheer JOY.

What is Trichotillomania Alopecia?
richotillomania Alopecia is recognized when a person has an irresistible urge to pull hair, most commonly from the scalp and eyebrows, but also many other areas of the body. Tricho- tillomania usually develops just before or during the early teens — most often between the ages of 11 and 13 — and is often a lifelong problem. Infants also can be prone to hair pulling, but this is usually mild and goes away on its own without treatment. There are various signs and indicators to look for when determining if trichotillomania is a problem for you or someone you love. Some of which includes:
• Repeatedly pulling out one’s hair resulting in hair loss • Hair pulling that causes problems in social, occupational or other areas of functioning
• Feeling an uncomfortable sensation that must be relieved by hair pulling
• In more extreme advance cases, one may even ingest their own hair which can create other serious health issues includ- ing digestive disorders
Trichotillomania is recognized as a severe psychological disor- der and must not be overlooked as just a “nervous” condition or bad habit. Specific two-part treatment is suggested. First and foremost, care of a psychologist or treatment practitioner helps address any psychological imbalances. Second, it is equally important in mak- ing sure the client cannot do more damage and pull more hairs. Therefore, it is a good idea to also receive hair replacement services with a trichologist or hair replacement specialist. One receiving proper treatment can manage desires or urges to pull and success- fully regrow hair.
