Reflexology Spa Services are now available inside Sea Dream Studio in Nehalem.
Thursdays and Fridays with some flexibility available. Please call or message the number below as I get my online scheduler up and running.

Wellness care makes a wonderful gift!

Investing in yourself and in wellness care is one of the best things we can do. Our bodies are our God Gifted Temples. They are worthy of the best care. Without our health, we are able to be present less for others. Taking care of the self is a gift to treasure so we can show up well in service to one another.

10% of all services purchased through this month (including gift cards) will be used to purchase socks, slippers, gloves and healthy food for adults and kids in need.

Having our feet and hands taken care of shouldn’t be underestimated. It makes a world of difference in the health of the entire body.

I bring 25+ years of bodywork experience to these sessions. I look forward to serving you in wellness.
See image or website for service description or give me a call, I’m happy to consult with you.

Seeking an Art Studio

Seeking an Art Studio to rent. Looking for a space to work on a collection of painted portraits and oral history interviews of local, community members for a project that needs to be completed in 2025.
It would be amazing if the space also was capable of hosting art classes for children and adults: I am starting an arts education non-profit in order to bring more arts opportunities to the North Coast and am in need of a space to work and provide classes.
Please let me know if you know of any spaces in Nehalem, Manzanita, or Wheeler that could work for this venture. Or if you have a room/space/garage in your house that would work for these purposes.
Thank you everyone!

Save our wetlands! Support the Appeal!

SAVE OUR WETLANDS! – SUPPORT THE APPEAL!
Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 pm: Rockaway Beach City Council Meeting.
Please attend the upcoming City Council meeting where council members will vote on whether or not to support the appeal filed by Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development (PUD-24). During the November 20th City Council hearing, a decision was made to defer the vote until the meeting on December 11. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is urging all community members to attend and make it clear that we prioritize the protection of our wetlands over allowing a developer to profit at the expense of our environment.
City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon. To attend by Zoom go to corb.us for more information. NCCWP extends sincere thanks to all those who contributed written and oral comments in support of the appeal. We also express our gratitude to the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition and the Crag Law Center for their invaluable guidance and legal support. The Public Hearing is now officially closed, meaning no further evidence, arguments, or testimony can be submitted to the City Council. However, it is still crucial to continue supporting the appeal. We encourage you to attend the upcoming meeting on December 11th, engage in discussions with neighbors and friends, share information on social media, and write letters to the media to keep the momentum going.

Biden’s Farewell Address

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Just a response to Dixie Gainer’s abridged post of Ron Paul’s opinion piece on the authorization to use US weapons and technology to strike targets proximate to the Russian border (within 250 miles or so). Now we are also seeing some American air support for rebels trying to overthrow the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
First let me acknowledge that Ms Gainer has many times demonstrated her fealty to what one might call the traditional Republican Party, the party that would be familiar to those in their mid-30s and older. I never supported that GOP, but it did have some reassuring qualities. I’ll simply assert here that that party no longer exists and has been replaced by something far darker.
Now about the Pauls. Both former Congressman Ron and current Senator Rand are proponents of the so-called Libertarian movement, an incomplete philosophy that strove for maximum liberty, minimum government, and no responsibility being placed on the wealthy/powerful who benefit maximally from the society created by every citizen (the commonweal). Libertarianism is now not much liked across the political spectrum except for the Silicon Valley/tech-bro community such as Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, Larry Ellison, etc. who have rebranded it as “techno-utopianism.”
More important for this conversation, the Pauls are known to be emphatic supporters of (if not agents for) Russia. The quiet part has been said out loud, many time over the years. This has been a very noticeable trend in the GOP for years (google: Maria Butina) and now shapes Donald Trump’s policy toward Russia (google: Helsinki Summit). Thus I won’t ascribe much trustworthiness to anything either Paul says. And I’ll also assert here that the above-mentioned tech-bros have more connection with Russia than we should be comfortable with (google: Musk calls Putin regularly).
Biden’s recent authorization to use US weapons across the Ukraine border IS troubling. But the US and NATO have resisted this for three years as the Russians carried on an aerial war of obliteration largely against civilian targets in Ukraine. Russia and Syria worked this same game plan in Syria as Assad obliterated nearly the entire city of Aleppo over the years. Same game plan in Grozny, Chechnya. Where do we draw lines? It’s pretty clear where the once and future President and his captured GOP will draw them.
