Free Webinar: Have What You Really, Really Want in 2014

Love and Life Coath Lisa Caroselli is offering a webinar on how to “Have What You Really, Really Want in 2014” on January 13, 2014 at 8:30-9:30pm. There is no charge, plus a recording will be made available for those who cannot attend the live session. The session is also available via telephone.

Many people experience depression because their resolutions or intentions seem to repeat year after year. Even the idea of setting intentions may feel like a lot of work creating unnecessary stress. Caroselli’s practical, down-to-earth and fun approach helps participants identify what is most important to them, what is missing from their life, and how to remove perceived obstacles that seem to block happiness.

“Whether you have already set your goals or not, this webinar will help you manifest your best year ever, have all that you really want, and most of all have fun doing it!” says Caroselli. Lisa, Certified Love Attraction Coach (CLAC) and Licensed CLAC Trainer, was mentored for six years by Kathryn Alice, author of the bestseller Love Will Find You. Lisa conducts her own Love Attraction club monthly via webinar, and has over 20 years experience facilitating adult learning.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
