It’s good to talk

talking newspaperA charity started over 30 years ago is looking for more volunteers to help put together weekly editions of the Newark and District Talking Newspaper.

Vice-chairman of the charity’s committee Wendy Pease (pictured here at work with some of the volunteers) will be joining the Girls Around Town on the show this week to explain just what’s involved in being an editor or a reader.

“The talking newspaper is a fantastic service which benefits blind and partially-sighted people. For some of them it’s essential and they look forward to receiving it,” says Wendy. “But we need more people to help and we’re looking for anyone of any age who has an hour or so to spare.”

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday, when June and Sue find out more about this vital service and how you could help to keep it going strong…

wellbeing wednesdayFancy trying a new activity this year but not sure what to do or where to start?

Here’s an idea… 12 sessions, one a month from now to December – it’s Well Being Wednesday, a chance to have a go at something different, learn a new skill and take yourself out of your comfort zone!

Tune in to the show this Sunday, when the Girls Around Town chat to Phiippa Burnett about some of the classes, workshops, talks and demonstrations on offer at Newark’s Balance Studio. Sign up for a six-month Well Being Pass and you’ll be able to choose from a dozen different sessions, including

  • Mindset
  • T’ai Chi
  • Facial Yoga
  • Mediation
  • Nutrition
  • Pilates
  • Pure Stretch
  • Contemporary Dance

Drop-in rates are available for extra sessions if you’ve used up your pass and want to try more and, subject to space, you can even bring along a friend.

Up first, on Wednesday 27 January, it’s Mindset To Elevate Your Life – for full details, prices and how to book, click here.

Or better yet, join June, Tina and Sue between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday, on air or online, to find out from Philippa herself how Well Being Wednesday can turn 2016 into the year you do more, be more and live more!

Get more of what you want – more often

cosmic orderingNot surprisingly, one of the topics on last week’s show was New Year’s resolutions, which prompted Tina to talk about Cosmic Ordering.

Have you ever had that experience where you’ve been thinking about getting in touch with someone and then the phone rings and it’s them? Or you decide you want something and it turns up seemingly out of the blue?

Maybe, like Tina, you’ve written down the specific attributes that you want in something such as a new home, only to realise sometime later that your wishes were actually fulfilled right down to the last detail?

Well, that’s cosmic ordering! Although it’s a concept which has been around for as long as humanity, the term for this version of positive thinking was first used in 1995 by German journalist Bärbel Mohr, to describe the process of identifying something you want or need in your life, becoming clear and specific about what it is and then ‘placing’ the order with the cosmos.

Find out more this week when Ellen Watts, author of Cosmic Ordering Made Easier, joins the Girls Around Town to explain what it is, what it isn’t and what prompted her to write a book on the subject…

She’ll also share some of her stories of cosmic orders, a process for placing your own and the importance of adding ‘for the good of all concerned’ at the end of every one.

Tune in on Sunday from 10am till 12 noon or listen online to discover how changing your mindset and calling on the cosmos can help you get more of what you want – more often!
