The ability for dogs and cats to “find their way home” after being lost or when traveling tends to hint of high-sensory awareness of sight and smell and beyond, to some perception of the Earth’s magnetic fields, as was discovered in bees and birds, plus other mammals, where their brain cells contain magnetized iron particles which cells act like built-in compasses.</span></b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #222222; font-family: times; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: left;">Although peppered with extraordinary facts about dogs and cats, Cal Orey’s main thrust is in her storytelling. There are many stories of people and pets, doing amazing things. These stories make up the icing on the factual content of the book. Written in a friendly “fireside” fashion, readers will love each of the many tales throughout this book where she tells of her exploits, her pet loves and losses, and get to know her as a person with a heart, seeking ways to unselfishly help others. </b></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #222222; font-family: times; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: left;">A section about homeless people caring for pets points out an interesting observation by Richard Avanzino, president of the San Francisco SPCA. “Because homeless people have this unique bond and special relationship, in many cases, the animals are better cared for than they take care of themselves.

one of the many "worried well" I am on guard against pesky colds
and flu during late winter. Back in the summer of 1999, I arrived at Tahoe. I
finished my first Healing Powers book on vinegar. Then, I penned books such
as Doctors' Orders: What 101 Doctors Do to Stay Healthy, and it was
followed by the Healing Powers series, nine timeless books on how to put
nature’s foods to work to keep healthy mind, body, and spirit. I know too well that
good nutrition with a healthful lifestyle is a plan to bolster the immune system. The
glitch is, people with a healthy immune system are not immune—but by using
chill out secrets they may heal faster if hit with a cold, flu, Covid, or
pre-spring allergies.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b> </b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">So, here are ten natural bug-busters that
Southern California-based Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., recommended to his patients
to keep from getting influenza, straight from my book <i>Doctors' Orders.</i><span style="background: #FFF9EE;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>1. Drink plenty of
fluids. Drinking water, herbal teas, and vitamin C-rich liquids (I like
fortified OJ with calcium and vitamin D) can flush out any toxins that you
accumulate.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>2. Wash your hands
frequently. Viruses can be transmitted by shaking someone's hand and then
touching your face, nose or mouth. (This is probably the most important
strategy. Doctors will tell you too wash with soap and water for about 20
seconds. Yep, I have been doing it.) <o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>3. Eat right. Medical researchers will tell you there are
many disease-fighting antioxidants that have antiviral and antibacterial
activity. So eating nutritious fresh fruit and vegetables daily will help keep
your immune system strong. Don’t forget fish (I love Alaskan salmon which I get
once a week from our butcher at the local Safeway), whole grains (such as
oatmeal and fortified cereal like Total), onions and garlic which help stave
off winter woes, too.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>4. Treat yourself
well. "I try to minimize junk food,” said Dr. Sahelian, “but I do succumb
to chocolate [the dark stuff contains heart-healthy magnesium) or calcium-rich
ice cream once or twice a week," he says. "It's possible that lots of
sugar can interfere with the proper functioning of the immune system." <o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>5. Take vitamin C.
Most of the research says that it improves the immune system. Personally, I
prefer to get the much needed vitamin in a glass of OJ or a whole orange.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>6. Take echinacea.
This herb is touted to have both antibiotic and immune-stimulating properties.
But note, it's best used as a preventive measure before you get the flu.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>7. Zinc yourself well... "Zinc lozenges
are the most powerful," he says. Zinc is a potent virus-fighters that can
cut the time you spend in misery.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>8. Drink herbal teas. "Warm liquids help
loosen mucus," explains Dr. Sahelian. I recall his story about going to
Alaska and he was on a nature tour with a group of people in a van. He did
catch a cold. However, drinking green tea helped the good doctor heal fast.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>9. Exercise, exercise,
exercise. "It helps me sleep more deeply at night. Deep sleep is a time
when the immune system has a chance to regroup itself and get
revitalized," notes Dr. Sahelian. I agree. So far this winter I haven’t
caught the sniffles. I give credit to the endorphin high from my rowing machine
and lifting weights.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>10. Chill out. By
keeping your stress levels down, you can keep your immune system up and
healthy. Chillaxing is a challenge for this Type-A author. Recently, I’ve been
listening to tunes more to practicing being mindful. I have discovered if I
don’t worry about the past or the future and stay in the present it’s a calming
place to be.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

For example, writing as a military wife, I dished out heartfelt feelings in a woman’s magazine about my husband’s service in Iraq. Writing as a witty English doctor, I prescribe anti-aging secrets in a self-help book. Writing as my sensitive mixed-breed cat, I dispense advice to pets and humans in a bimonthly horoscope column.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> Sound like fun? For writers who don’t mind losing a byline, ghostwriting is an interesting and potentially lucrative career option. Here are five reasons why you should consider this often-overlooked writing path.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">1 Interesting assignments<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Ever wish you were someone else? As a ghostwriter, you can live your dream vicariously—without having to get credentials or be reincarnated. Being a “ghost” is like channeling into someone else’s body and mind. For example, I write for my 5-year-old cat, Kerouac, who pens the column “What Do the Stars Hold for Your Pet?” for a pet magazine. Not only is his name on the masthead, each column pays for his premium cat food and toys.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> Eric Neuhaus, a New York ghostwriter, did the writing and more for a book by fitness guru Joe Decker As part of the assignment, Neuhaus and a diet consultant cooked up healthy versions of traditionally unhealthy dishes such and meatloaf and fajitas. “The kitchen in my one-bedroom apartment became the test kitchen,” Neuhaus says. “I bought another book on how to write recipes. All of this was trail by fire. I never thought in m wildest dreams that I’d be testing recipes.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Ghost Tip: “If you enjoy people, ghostwriting is a way to delve into some of the most unusual people on the planet,” says Marc L. Weber, a former ghostwriter.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">2 An occasional credit<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">When I was assigned the Iraq article for <i>Complete Woman,</i> I collected the very personal first-person narratives of two military wives, using their unique voices to put together their heart-warming tales. I received an “as told to” author credit.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Ghost Tip: If you think the book has potential to be a bestseller, request co-author credit. But if the project is an author’s tool (i.e., selling products), credit isn’t a big deal.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">3 Appreciative clients<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">“One of the most surprising facts I have learned about ghostwriting is that there are some extremely intelligent people out there who cannot put anything onto paper,” Habert says. “For some reason, somewhere between the thought process and the actual movements of their pen or fingers on keyboard, they become babbling fools.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> In my ghostwritten book on anti-aging, I noticed while the doctor had good command of the English language, his prose tended to be dry. I was hired to “dumb down” his health advice and product information. And the doctor appreciated my ability to do just that.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Ghost Tip: “You have to check your ego at the door,” cautions Deborah Kotz of Silver Spring, Md., who has worked as a ghostwriter on several health books. “Realize that you are the ‘writer’ and not the ‘author.’ There’s a big difference between the two. You are not the authority. So, you have to convey the message that the author wants to convey.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">You have to check your ego<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 22.8267px;">at the door.

Habert understands the glory of ghostwriting. “It is a lucrative source of writing, not only in a monetary manner but also in the volume available,” she says. Weber adds that a baby boomers age, “that generation becomes interested in holding on to its memories, so there is more work for ghostwriters to do than ever before.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Ghost Tip: “Network as much as you can,” Weber says. “Make sure people know you have the talent to help them."<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> Each in his or her own way, Habert, Weber and Neuhaus have discovered that ghostwriting is a good avenue to a never-ending road of projects. You, too, can arrive at that point. Just put on your mask and go to work.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Getting Started<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Look close to home: Offer to be the ghostwriter for your family, friends and co-workers. Don’t rule our your kids or pets, either.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Develop a specialty: “Whether it’s fitness or fashion, write about what you love and have a passion for,” says New York City ghostwriter Eric Neuhaus.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Network with other ‘ghosts’: Often, ghostwriters will be busy with projects and may refer clients to you for a finder’s fee.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Discuss the editing process: If you want to avoid ghoulish re-dos, talk with the author about edits before you begin. Personally, I have incorporated the phrases "No revisions" in the agreement. A dentist to hair stylist may make minor tweaks--but countless changes? Not a chance.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Get it in writing: “If you’re going to collaborate, you’re going to need a written contract or agreement that spells out who does what and how much you get—and when,” Neuhaus says.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Tackle Tasks: </span></b><span style="font-family: "";"><b> Outlines, restructuring and crafting, developing characters, writing prologues, cliffhanger chapters, and WOW endings, settings, description, dialogue -- and much more!</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Remember, everyone has at least one book in them: It’s your job to connect mentally and emotionally with someone who want to hire a ghost—namely, you.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Published in <i>The Writer (since 1933, RIP)</i></span></b></p><div color="black" data-blogger-escaped-style="color: #660000; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal;" face=""" size="16px" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16px;"><span data-blogger-escaped-style="font-style: normal;"><span data-blogger-escaped-="" style="font-family: "; font-size: small;"><strong data-blogger-escaped-color="#660000"><i>BIO: CAL OREY, M.A. </i>Meet</strong></span></span><span data-blogger-escaped-="" style="font-size: small;"><span data-blogger-escaped-="" style="font-family: "; font-size: small;"><strong data-blogger-escaped-color="#660000"> a super versatile a</strong></span><span data-blogger-escaped-="" style="font-family: "; font-size: small;"><strong data-blogger-escaped-color="#660000">uthor-journalist, columnist & ghostwriter (fiction: crime, romance, sci-fi, adventure, psychological thrillers, memoir & most genres) and a known on-air personality... </strong></span></span><i data-blogger-escaped-="" size="3"><strong color="#660000" data-blogger-escaped-style="font-size: 100%;" face=""" size="3"><div data-blogger-escaped-style="display: inline !important;" style="display: inline;"><span data-blogger-escaped-style="font-weight: normal;" style="font-family: "; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><strong data-blogger-escaped-color="#660000">I'm a born and raised Californian </strong><strong><span data-blogger-escaped-="">who keeps it real.

olive oil—which can help you lose weight, lower your risk of diabetes, and
increase longevity), exercise, destressing, conventional meds, and nature’s

Essential Oil: Much like chamomile tea I love and sip often, this oil can have the
same positive effects on keeping blood pressure in a healthy numbers range. It
works by lowering stress levels, which can help to dilate your arteries. Also,
chamomile is a nervine, which can help to maintain the nervous system and keep
you calmer. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Essential Oil: The relaxing effect of the oil’s vanillin may lower blood
pressure because it calms the mind and body and lessens stress, which can
overlap with anxiety and depression, too. Medical researchers and aromatherapists
will tell you vanilla oil, thanks to its disease-fighting antioxidants, may
help fight damage to blood vessels. Also, calming vanilla can help stave off
PMS anxiety to menopause stress, which sometimes come with heart palpitations
due to fluctuating hormones.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

And according to some sources, we drink an astounding 400 million cups every day. But few consume it without some guilt. For years, it’s been suspected as a culprit for various conditions, from high blood pressure to ulcers. But research is now proving the opposite. In fact, there are hundreds of compounds found naturally in coffee beans that have decidedly healing properties, perhaps more so than cocoa, tea or even renowned antioxidant-rich fruits, such as oranges and blueberries. In her new book, <i>The Healing Powers of Coffee</i>, Cal Orey pours over the research to brew up some incredible facts about these magical beans. Here, she sits down for a little coffee Q&A, where she shares insights and tips on how coffee can wake up your wellness routine, helping you to not only stay trim, but also reduce your risk of chronic diseases—even substantially lowering your risk of a heart attack.</div><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;" valign="top" width="443"><b>Quick Tip</b>Stop the Pain.

Since coffee gets a bad rap, I thought it would be fascinating to write about a vice that has gone to virtue. The health benefits of java are controversial, but groundbreaking research shows that it’s got perks. Coffee has been touted as the “newest health food.”</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: Why is coffee such a popular beverage worldwide?</b><b>A:</b> Its energizing benefits are probably the main reason why coffee has made its mark and is here to stay. Actually, according to legend, an Ethiopian goat herder was the first to discover the energizing benefits of the coffee bean plant centuries ago.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: What gives coffee its many health benefits?</b><b>A:</b> Coffee’s amazing antioxidant power is what makes it special. Two mighty antioxidants—chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid—have been given credit for its health benefits. Coffee boasts other health-boosting antioxidants, including benzoic acids, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbwwxoh8mRYgAGFze4xiJ0Yg0ar-PD9LSIEaqQ4JYniph0LzApHHTeDZ7N1rccwuJFzVHLJyl-WgdKmNQZf_TDtB5NtuS8a1evtfFUtnflJnCUa0X14opHIZ5r0oV_VjzuT4fftqSCnp-/s1600/feb13_cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #993300; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbwwxoh8mRYgAGFze4xiJ0Yg0ar-PD9LSIEaqQ4JYniph0LzApHHTeDZ7N1rccwuJFzVHLJyl-WgdKmNQZf_TDtB5NtuS8a1evtfFUtnflJnCUa0X14opHIZ5r0oV_VjzuT4fftqSCnp-/s320/feb13_cover.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="243" /></a><b>Q: Does decaf have the same effects?</b><b>A:</b> According to Joe A.

It has been praised for its weight-loss benefits on the popular “Dr. Oz Show.” One study published in January 2012 in the <i>Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity Journal</i> shows 16 adults using green coffee bean extract lost an average of 17 lb in just 22 weeks. It’s believed that chlorogenic acid slows absorption of fat from food intake and also boosts metabolism of extra fat. Evidently, it may be a better source of chlorogenic acid than traditional brewed coffee.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: What about coffee’s effect on the Big C?</b><b>A:</b> Researchers are quick to point out that cancer-fighting antioxidants (in both caffeinated and decaf) may help lower the risk of developing some cancers, including breast, prostate and liver. Antioxidants in coffee act as disease-fighters to hinder the cancer process and reduce certain cancers.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: What’s an interesting fact about coffee that most people don’t know?</b><b>A:</b> You can cook and bake with coffee. You can incorporate coffee in recipes like Cappuccino Biscotti, Thai Coffee Spiced Chicken Sates, Coffee Cheesecake and Maple Espresso.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"></div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: What are coffee’s benefits for weight loss?</b><b>A:</b> Coffee can provide extra energy to help you exercise (burning calories and boosting metabolism at rest), and help to stave off muscle aches and pains after a workout. Also, caffeine in coffee can act as a natural diuretic, increasing the amount of urine you’ll excrete by temporarily losing pounds or water weight. What’s more, coffee can help women and men get and stay slim because it contains caffeine—and may beat bloat as well as keep you regular. But note, it’s a cup of regular coffee that can help you lose the unwanted pounds, not the junk added to coffee. That means stay clear of creams, flavored syrups, whipped cream, half-and-half and whole milk.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: How much coffee do you need to reap the benefits?</b><b>A: </b>The exact amount varies, depending on your heart health and tolerance. Some doctors believe if you have any heart problems or anxiety woes, stick to decaf or one cup of coffee per day. Other coffee gurus do not have a problem with drinking three cups of coffee per day—and that was the average for Americans back in the 1950s. If you’re concerned about caffeine, drink decaf.</div><div style="color: #545456; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>Q: Can drinking coffee really be heart healthy?</b><b>A: </b>According to research, drinking two cups of coffee daily could reduce heart failure by 11%. Researchers didn’t determine why, but evidence suggests regular coffee drinkers may build a tolerance to caffeine, lowering their risk of high blood pressure. The antioxidants in coffee may also help to lower the risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol. However, unfiltered coffee and brewing in a French press or percolator may raise cholesterol.</div></div>Cal Orey, Author-Intuitivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08907014033577524662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446697274481194462.post-58896706346424396252024-02-11T17:10:00.000-08:002024-02-11T17:10:01.780-08:00Warm Up to Winter with Tea-rrific Home Cures from Your Kitchen<p> <b style="border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5 </b><b style="border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tea Home Cures from Your Kitchen:</b></p><ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #606569; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.857em 42px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Colds: </strong>During the fall and winter months, cold season is at its peak.

What drew you to write this book?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Years ago, I was first published in “Dog World Magazine.” The first-person profile piece was about my experience using a mobile vet while living in Santa Cruz Mountains. It paved the way for me to write about dogs and the human bond. Later, I began to send my work to cat publications. Then, I spread my wings and wrote about human relationships, science, and health topics, too. I suppose it was my love for canines that led me into becoming a book author.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">PBR: What reactions have you received so far from readers?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />At first, the non-fiction novel ranked 43 in the Top 100 categories Animal & Pet Care Essays and Action & Adventure Fiction on Amazon. It held its place for weeks like a sled dog on an Alaskan journey.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I forgot how saturated the pet books market can be. Back in 2002 my book 202 Pets’ Peeves was released. It was a spin-off to an article I wrote about why your cat hates you. The piece got one half million views on AOL’s homepage. While book reviews were positive it didn’t end up being a best seller like The Healing Powers of Vinegar, Honey, and Tea. It took Vinegar a few years to find its legs, but it took off big-time! It ignited the nine-book series.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.pacificbookreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Slide677-e1677542528172.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #125eb5; text-decoration-line: none;"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-33423" height="150" loading="lazy" src="http://www.pacificbookreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Slide677-150x150.jpg" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; float: left; height: auto; margin-right: 15px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" width="150" /></a>PBR: Among the many published magazine article reprints, blogposts, and contributing material, most notably are your stories interacting with your dog. How did you decide on which stories to publish, and do you have some other special moments you still wish to share?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The collection of my works were selected without over thinking it. I put it together organically. I can tell you that in Book 2, there will be more science fiction-paranormal stories about a girl and her dog based on my real life.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />It’s funny, but I recall back in graduate school we had to find a professor to be our first reader for the required thesis. When I pitched my dog and girl trek across America story to him he snickered and said to me: “I’m not interested.” Once I fell into the popular Healing Powers series, I can tell you I included countless tales about me and my dog(s)—on the road and off.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">PBR: What are your favorite breeds of dogs that appeal to you, personally?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I used to be a Sporting Dog Group fan. My canine companions were Labrador retrievers and Brittanys. After losing one Brittany, Seth, I had to fill the void for Simon, a Brittany, too, a canine soulmate and myself. So, four months later, I brought home a 10-week-old fluffy Australian shepherd named Skye “protector”. He is our strong healing, Herding dog and brought back balance into the household. Both Simon and my Siamese cat, Zen raised him to be our alpha leader.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">PBR: Your comments about telepathic communication between pets and their owners are amazing. Can you kindly elaborate on this?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I believe in supernatural superpowers. In PAWS Book 2, I will share an amazing story including telepathy between a girl and her super smart, sassy, and loyal dog showing the strength of their bond.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">PBR: Although rather challenging, we realize, but can you tell us about your favorite pet you ever had (or have) and why is he/she so special?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This is a Sophie’s Choice question. How can I choose between my children? They all have a special place in my heart. Of course, living in the present I will say both of my pets are my soulmates with paws. But in the past, I’d have to say Stone Fox, my handsome black Labrador was a godsend when I was all alone on the road. We hitched and hiked through California; he stood by me on a freeway onramp hitching a ride while we were both shivering in a Colorado blizzard; and we survived together in a Nevada dust storm. He was intelligent and independent. Stone Fox had soulful big, brown eyes, the heart of gold, and he definitely was my soulmate with paws. When he passed, I couldn’t let go. I had to go on a business trip, and I took his box of ashes with me. I put “him” under the bed covers in my cold hotel room. I felt his warm presence. I loved him with my heart and soul.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">PBR: What new topics are on your desk for future books?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I’ve been enjoying writing different genres like I did in graduate school which include science fiction, romance, and thrillers. These topics are no stranger to me. Sure, my health-nutrition books stuffed with stories are popular and timeless… but I’ve taken some new, exciting writing trips out of the kitchen and am enjoying the wild (and always include a soulmate with paws like Dorothy with Toto).<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />For more information: www.calorey.com and Soulmates with Paws is available in three formats at online bookstores.</p><div class="fusion-button-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline;"><a class="fusion-button button-flat button-round button-large button-default button-1" href="https://www.amazon.com/Soulmates-Paws-Collection-Tales-Tails/dp/1665578483/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1CF27SSN1IJ7I&keywords=Soulmates+with+Paws&qid=1673372846&sprefix=soulmates+with+paws%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1" style="background: linear-gradient(to top, rgb(90, 171, 214), rgb(144, 201, 232)) rgb(144, 201, 232); border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 13px 29px; position: relative; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none; text-transform: uppercase; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; width: auto; zoom: 1;" target="_self"><span class="fusion-button-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">BUY ON AMAZON</span></a></div><div class="fusion-button-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline;"><a class="fusion-button button-flat button-round button-large button-default button-2" href="http://www.calorey.com/" style="background: linear-gradient(to top, rgb(90, 171, 214), rgb(144, 201, 232)) rgb(144, 201, 232); border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 13px 29px; position: relative; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none; text-transform: uppercase; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; width: auto; zoom: 1;" target="_self"><span class="fusion-button-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">AUTHOR’S WEBSITE</span></a></div></div><div class="fusion-meta-info" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(224, 222, 222); border-left-color: rgb(224, 222, 222); border-right-color: rgb(224, 222, 222); border-top: 1px solid rgb(224, 222, 222); box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font-family: "PT Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 0px;"><div class="fusion-meta-info-wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.pacificbookreview.com/category/exclusive-author-interviews/" rel="category tag" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #125eb5; text-decoration-line: none;">Exclusive Author Interviews</a></div></div>Cal Orey, Author-Intuitivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08907014033577524662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446697274481194462.post-66291430662557835972024-01-30T22:06:00.000-08:002024-01-30T22:06:41.905-08:00More than just writing...

Her books include the Healing Powers Series (Vinegar, Olive Oil, Chocolate, Honey, Coffee, Tea, Superfoods, Essential Oils, Herbs and Spices) published by Kensington. (The collection has been featured by the Good Cook Book Club.) Orey’s new book is Soulmates with Paws.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> </span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">Granola Girl’s Healing Power’s Series: A Treasure Chest of Goodness</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">Are there any classic novels that you only recently read for the first time?</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">Well, it’s not a “classic” but it is a bestseller and I finally read it. I savored the short and oh so sweet, tuesdays with Morrie. As a ghostwriter I was told by the client that this is the kind of vibe he wanted for the non-fiction novel I wrote for him.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> </span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">The end is a bittersweet one. I was promised co-author credit. The client fibbed and my name is not on the book. I did pen The Healing Powers of Tea, and tea plays a big role in his book. So in my heart I know it’s my baby.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">You’re organizing a party.

He input his emotion into his work. And, of course, Travels with Charley is one of my favorites books. When I was in my early twenties, I left Northern California and hitched and hiked with my dog in search of America. Steinbeck was my mentor, my teacher, my hero.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> </span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">Next up for tea and scones, would be Stephen King. I would love to hear him tell a spooky tale. One late winter, I drove from Lake Tahoe to Reno for a book signing. He was there a week prior. It was a hard act to follow. But I got a call from the manager a day before my event. She said, “I don’t know how to tell you this but all of your books sold out.” So, I took my beloved Brittany and we ended up bringing more books to the bookstore.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> </span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">Who are your favorite writers?

So, it’s John Steinbeck, Edward Albee (I was going to be a playwright), and George Elliot who had a sensitive husband who trashed her bad reviews. (My professors did approve of the master. However, they said they hoped I became an author—not a literature teacher.)</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">What do you read when you’re working on a book?

Rice told us when we write we should pretend to disrobe and share ourselves without inhibitions. And that’s just what I do.</p><div><br /></div></div></div></div>Cal Orey, Author-Intuitivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08907014033577524662noreply@blogger.com0
