 Happy New Year to All!!
I’m not sure about you, but I am so very ready for a new year. I love the holidays, but I am super excited to put my focus back where it belongs, back on to the focus of this wonderful “CW” endeavor - on you. You are the reason Complete Wellness was created. To help you feel better, connect with new information, experiences & community. To find the perfect combination of things to experience and do to unleash the whole, actual, vibrant - you. Over the holiday season I’ve been blessed to hear a lot of feedback from people of their experiences at Complete Wellness. I’m not usually a weepy person - but that’s where it took me. So many expressing gratitude for this space that helped them reach goals, move better, feel more grounded, connected and experience some pretty profound personal growth. Ahhhmazzzing!!! It is my intention this year to be focused on you. To share more information & insights about the impact of all the things we offer, more stories of what has helped who and how. To continue to grow this wellness community...and of course to have fun doing it. I’m excited and so very grateful to have you as part of our community. Please share any of your experiences, what you’d like to know more about, what you’d like to see offered at Complete Wellness - we’re here to help. Let us know what you need. Here’s to a magical, healthy, joy-filled and prosperous new year. New Decade-wow! Happy to share the journey with you. Good Thoughts Always, Tracy - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hello CW Community! 2020 is here! Where does the time go? We say this all the time. Well, for us the time was spent expanding our offerings of classes, services, events and community interaction. Spent getting to know you, each of you. Sharing in your journey of wellness lifts our hearts. We have grown emotionally, socially, intellectually (no giggling) and have more insight and wisdom, and we thank you for being with us, helping direct us. We are grateful for the beautiful, talented and exceptional people who work with us, offering diverse classes and services. Hearing how each provider makes a difference in someone’s life always gives me a full cup of happiness. Fortunate to have each one of them for all they share, and thankful for each of you who patronize us. People who visit say they feel so comfortable in our space. Yay, we worked hard for the feelings of belonging, welcoming, and calm. I tell the story of my friends always wanting to hang at my house when I was young. My parents made our home comfortable and safe for my friends to be welcome. That has been our goal with CW, the place people want to be, want to visit. So where does the next year take us? Well, we have ideas, but mostly this concept revolves around you. What would you like to see us offer? What do you like best about CW? We have many of our goals but know we have a long journey ahead. And, we look forward to that journey as a way of growth. Thank you, all, for taking the journey with us and seeing what this new year, new decade has in store. Happy New Year!! Love and Hugs, Sincerely, Stacy

 Just 5 Words As the new year approaches and people start talking about those “resolution” things (gave them up years ago-only one I ever kept! lol) I wanted to share something I read yesterday. It’s a list of “Self-Care Opportunities “. I love how that is phrased - opportunities. Most are free and not exactly what you’d think. Being a fan of Self-care (which you may have figured out by now) I love this. There are 100 items on the list. My plan is to use a couple a week to spark some conversation-and maybe ideas for even more SCO (OH! We’ll have our own special acronym! Can’t have enough of those!! “Self-Care Opportunity”) An important note. This list I speak of came from the seriously brilliant and soul-nourishing minds at @simplifymagazine If you’ve not checked this out-do it today. They have an amazing offer going till tomorrow (12/31). The Mag is ALL online. Nothing to clutter your house or make trash and it has no ads. Filled with insightful and useful material - this list being a case in point. It is quarterly and I read it all the way through. That in itself is a grab-a-cup-of-tea, relax, me-time SCO! And after all that - here we go…. #1 Articulate Five Core Values This is a FREE SCO. And it’s only 5 right? Easy Peezy. Get clear on what means the most to you so that can always be your guide. Simple. RIGHT. This is asking you to sum up what matters to you most…..in 5 words. Words. Not sentences. Not paragraphs. Not novellas (clearly an issue for me). Wow. You may need more than one cup of tea for this one. But what a worthy task - and one that feels PERFECT to me as we are wrapping up one year and starting the next. Like a nice blank sheet of paper. I’m going to work on this list. When I’m done I will share. Will you? What are your 5 words that express your 5 core values best. We'd love to hear… Author: Tracy McGovern, Co-Founder Complete Wellness 12/30/2019 10/30/2019 0 Comments Gratitude starts at home November is here and that means you’ve probably already seen about 942 memes or posts about having an attitude of gratitude... and you know what? We say, bring it on! It’s pretty much impossible to overestimate the power of gratitude, so in our book, 942 is just a start. At Complete Wellness, one of the things we’re most grateful for is you. And us. Together. In this space. Complete Wellness is like a second home for us. It’s a home for the magical, inspiring, talented, loving community that gathers here to share and heal and express and grow and give. We are thankful for the clients and for every person (human and canine) whose presence makes this space a home. And not just any home, but *the* home-- you know, the one everyone wants to come to because it’s always full of cool people doing cool stuff, and when you walk in you know you’re part of a family whose connection mends hearts and bodies and uplifts spirits. This November, we invite you to join us in an exploration of what it means to be grateful. What are you grateful for? What do you share that brings out gratitude in others? Where do you find a space for expressing your gratitude? Let’s find out together!

The suddenness of red and gold and brown where mere days ago there was only green seems to have caught even nature by surprise, as the temperature scrambles to catch up to the expected crispness of the season. But since Autumn is all about letting go, we’re thinking that makes sense. The trees have to let go of the idea that flourishing green lasts forever. Summer has to loosen its grasp, reining in its balmy days so swirling winds and lengthening shadows can come out to play. And we have to let go of… so much. It would be easier if all we had to release was our attachment to long, bright days and warm starlit nights, but life gives us far more to consider. It also gives us the best kind of teacher--one who instructs by example. Nature shows us the grace of letting what is no longer ours find its way free, on a different current. She shows us that the parting can be graceful, even beautiful. And she shows us that when, like her trees, we are firmly planted, the places that “lost” don’t stay bare for long. This October, we invite you to join us in an exploration of what it means to let go. What is no longer serving you that can be released? What does letting go look like? What does it open the door to? Let’s find out together! AuthorComplete Wellness' blogs are written by Marissa Polselli of Wordtree, LLC 8/22/2019 0 Comments Back to School You see it start mid-summer. First it’s an ad in the paper. A commercial. A tastefully arranged display at the supermarket showcasing pens and highlighters. In August it picks up in volume and intensity, and by the time the first pumpkin spice latte makes its cinnamon and nutmeg infused appearance, it’s everywhere: Back to school! The phrase elicits an array of responses, from the reluctance of students and the eager anticipation of parents to the particular mixture of both known only to teachers. This year, it also got us thinking... What does ”back to school” mean for us? Most of us reading this blog are no longer in school in any official capacity, but does school always coincide with learning? What other ways do we learn? What things do we focus on learning? And how do we tend to the expansion of our mind, imagination, and spirit when it’s left entirely to us to manage? This September, we invite you to join us in an exploration of what it means to be a student...of life, of the Universe, of all that IS. We invite you to embrace the lifelong learner in you--the part of you that gets curious, fascinated, excited, and motivated to know more. We invite you to go back to school with us, and to share what you learn. Also feel free to share your pumpkin spice latte! AuthorComplete Wellness' blogs are written by Marissa Polselli of Wordtree, LLC  "One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter." - Henry David Thoreau At Complete Wellness, we’re all about being in the moment... which is why this month’s blog might seem a bit strange at first, but hang in there with us for a moment to explore an idea… Every season has its gifts and beauty and purpose, and we’re all for going with the flow and embracing them as they happen. But as we get ready for the last month of summer, we’re thinking that it’s possible to enter into each season fully while still treasuring the best feelings and lessons we’ve experienced so far. What does that mean for us right now? It means that the warmth, freedom, and joy of summer can remain as a spark in our hearts as we prepare for quieter seasons, keeping the embers lit until it is their time to blaze again next year. This August, we invite you to savor the remaining days of summer with us, and to join us in an exploration and celebration of the ways we can keep just a bit of its light and warmth with us to tap into whenever we need it throughout the year. AuthorComplete Wellness' blogs are written by Marissa Polselli of Wordtree, LLC 6/30/2019 0 Comments Declaring Our Independence With the 4th of July around the corner we’ve got independence on our minds. Just a tad over 200 years ago a bunch of scrappy colonists gave the boot--and probably a few other gestures--to King George. And just a just a few blocks away, at Liberty Hall, stands a replica of the Liberty Bell, which the citizens of Quakertown helped to keep safe during the Revolutionary War. From this we learn two things: First, don’t mess with Quakertown. And second, freedom is possible anywhere, if you declare it and take action. At Complete Wellness, we’re using the month of July to focus on freedom, and asking ourselves the question, what am I ready to declare my independence from? Maybe it’s a nutritional habit that doesn’t serve our well-being. Maybe it’s the tendency to put our own self-care on the back burner. Maybe it’s a limiting belief that’s holding us back from being as happy and healthy as we can be, Whatever it is, overthrowing it has got to be at least as doable as defying the might of the British Empire. This July, we invite you to join us in an exploration of freedom, and a declaration of independence from whatever is keeping us from the fullest expression of our sovereign right to be ourselves, free, happy, and well.

So without further ado, we are declaring 2019 to be the Summer of You. Each month, we’ll focus on a theme to help make the season a time of joy, reclamation, reconnection, and happy discovery. And of course, it all starts with wellness. In fact, June is the perfect month to debunk a common wellness-related myth about that quintessential summer theme: vacations. (SPOILER ALERT: we’re about to turn yet another commonly held belief on its head and present an alternative that actually supports wellness.) Our culture focuses on vacation as a single event that is meant to restore your well-being after a year of ignoring the needs of body and soul in the frenetic pursuit of Working to Achieve Goals. No wonder we’re experiencing skyrocketing rates of burnout! We’re kicking off the Summer of You with a June theme that offers a different path--and a different result--by declaring that Wellness is a State of Mind & Body. Now don’t get us wrong, we think vacations are awesome! But we also think that wellness isn’t something you have to put off to a once a year event or something you have to travel to. Wellness is a state of mind and body, and it’s only as far away as a new thought or action. This June, we invite you to join us in an exploration and celebration of all the ways we can embrace new thoughts and actions to incorporate wellness into our everyday lives, right here, right now. Welcome, Summer! AuthorComplete Wellness' blogs are written by Marissa Polselli of Wordtree, LLC 5/6/2019 0 Comments Celebrating Whole Health It’s a month that kicks off with May Day flowers, Beltane festivities, and the joyous embrace of all things living and growing and loving. May awakens our senses and invites us to explore the vibrancy of life with passion and joy. It’s about fullness, wholeness, and wholeheartedness, so we thought it was the perfect month to focus on whole health. There’s a Chinese proverb that says, “When the heart is at ease, the body is healthy.” Not only do we agree, but here at Complete Wellness, we see ancient wisdom about the heart-body connection and raise it our own take on community and connections of all kinds. When we say “whole health,” then, what we mean is:
This May, we invite you to join us in an exploration and celebration of whole health. We can’t wait to see what magic unfolds!
