In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

My new individual rate will be $90.00 per hour starting January 1st 2009.
I plan to offer Visa/MasterCard as a payment option starting January 1st 2009.
I will be posting my newsletters on my blog to save paper and postage. Please check my blog after the 15th of the month joannewieser.blogspot.com for past and current newsletters.
“Seven Pounds” questioned self forgiveness. I believe this would be an interesting video to watch along with reading the book “The Shack” or “Change of Heart”. The video looks at the moral and spiritual dilemmas of forgiveness. The video is very disturbing and thought provoking. I am sure each person watching it will have their own feelings of how it should have ended.
“Revolutionary Road” could be disturbing to a parent who has lost a child or had an abortion or lost their mother early in life. The couples arguing reminded me of Dr. John Gottman’s 4 Horseman as the couple depicted all 4 in their dance of anger. The video includes scenes of infidelity, domestic violence, chain smoking and drinking. Many of these images could be disturbing. The wife/mother’s behavior toward her daughter could bring up past abuses.
I believe both movies have their merit and I would watch both of them again.
“Just Do It” is about the journey of a young couple with 2 children taking on a quest to have sex 100 days. It has some funny moments and some enlightening information. I think every couple should read it.

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face,
And show the world all the love in your heart,
Then people gonna treat you better.
You're gonna find, yes, you will,
That you're beautiful as you feel.

I am again requesting that patients/clients pay their co payment at each and every session due to the cost of stamps and the time it takes to mail out statements. Some people pay ahead and then forget if they paid for the session and I end up having to bill so please pay each time. I will be offering payment by Visa/Master Charge by January. Also, if you would like my newsletter mailed to you please let me know or I can have a copy ready for you at your session. If you would like it e-mailed please give me your e-mail address.

Mark Reed Hospital had a Health Fair on Saturday, October 10th at the GH Fairgrounds. They had free bicycle helmets for the kids (my grandson is enjoying his) a helicopter and ambulance. They offered blood testing, health checks, foot massages, great door prizes and all for FREE. I enjoyed my free 5 minutes massage thanks to Crystal Weld, LMP (her office is next to mine). Since everything was free it made it all so much better. If you missed this year contact Mark Reed Hospital for next years date.
Check out “The Daily World” Aberdeen headlines for September 24th: Harbor divorce rate one of the highest. As a married woman and a counselor this statistic is staggering to think of number of people who will be affected by these divorces. I would like to help stop the trend by offering counseling at a reduced price. If you are interested in premarital or marital counseling I am offering a package price of 5 – 1 hour sessions of premarital counseling or marital counseling for $400.00. If you know a couple that is planning to wed this would be a great investment into their future. If you are couple planning to separate due to conflict this may help you to learn how to deal with conflict and improve your communicate.
Each night before going to bed, write down a list of 10 good things that happened that day. Each morning, write a list of 5 positive goals for the day.
I still have a number of books and videos that I have loaned out that have not been returned. I have couples and individuals waiting for the videos. Even if you do not plan to come back to see me please return them to my office. I am usually at my office at least once a day and you can place them in front of my door. Thanks in advance.
This is the book I donated for the raffle at the Health Fair. Your Anxious Child defines anxiety check out pg13 and talks about how anxiety is different at different ages and stages. What we know is that anxious children are more likely to become depressed. What is great about this book is that it has many games, activities, and exercises that you can do with your child at home. The activities are for ages 5 up to age 17 but they give instructions for younger children; appendix A has a list of the activities and their goals. They authors talk about their method “COPE’ to help children with anxiety problems, page 21.
Marley and Me is a true story of a real couple that had to learn not to give up on their dog and their marriage. It’s a family movie about the reality of being a father, husband, wife, and mother. The couple learned that having a pet means sacrifices just like having children and as parents they had to learn to love each of their children for whom they are. It’s a funny movie that is tearful at the end. It shows how the family dealt with the grief of losing someone they love. I think the best part is after the birth of their second child and they had to recommit to their marriage.
Please check out my blog for old newsletters. I have a number of websites sited for you to check out plus videos and books.
My daughter, Dr. Lori Wieser, ND “Natural Healing Family Medicine” is having her open house at her office on Saturday, November 21st from 3PM to 5PM. I will also have my office open and be there to say hello. She is offering samples of vitamins and nutritious refreshments. The open house if for all family members to attend hope you can make it.
