New calls for sources

Who else is obsessed with Inventing Anna?

Hi all. Hope your weeks are going very well. We had a roof leak in our master bedroom at my house 8 weeks ago. Were FINALLY supposed to have the painters put the walls back together yesterday (I’ve been sleeping next to half the room tented off) but they ghosted us yesterday. Then today they had an emergency. So they are apparently coming tomorrow.

Current Bedroom Situation:

Patience is a virtue, right? But chocolate and wine definitely help along the way!

Last night’s wind down + book I just finished:

Anyway, that’s about all the interesting updates going on with me. That and I’ve been binging the heck out of Inventing Anna & catching up on The Righteous Gemstones. Uncle Baby Billy better get his shit together!

OK, now for some source requests:

1. Support Groups for Breakups: Looking for some therapists and experts to talk about why this can be helpful + some people who received support from others in this arena to talk about how it was crucial to them getting over an ex.

2. Most of us aren’t getting enough calcium: Looking for MDs & RDs to talk about why that is, why it’s important, to supplement or not to supplement plus natural ways to boost your calcium intake.

3. The philosophies we use to make our homes what it is. From Fung Shui to Minimalism to the psychology of shapes and color, there are a number of ways people create and decide to live in their homes. I’m looking for experts to help explore those different types of concepts.

How the lighting in your house can affect your body weight. Looking for a few MDs to weigh in: How to use light to make your body work better — both in terms of losing weight and controlling the factors that influence chronic disease (inflammation, blood glucose, blood pressure, etc.)

How natural light in the morning can help set your circadian clock, how bright white light during the day can boost your energy (and calorie burn), and how a red-or orange-hued light in the evening can let you read without stifling your sleep-promoting melatonin.

Huffington Post

Looking for MDs & sleep experts to talk about: How to Change Sleeping Positions: Sleeping on your side and want to be a back sleeper? Here’s how to train yourself to alter your sleeping situation + benefits of different sleeping positions and times when you might need to switch it out - i.e. you’re injured and need to sleep on your side vs. back, you’re on an airplane and need to contort to sleep on a plane, you started snoring on your back and your partner is demanding you switch to your side, you’re worried about wrinkles from side sleeping and have heard that back sleeping is all the beauty rage…

Twitter: @NicolePajer - I take many routes to finding sources. I post in publicist forums, will send out these newsletters but often also post on Twitter when I need some quick sources for something. It’s been a phenomenal resource for that so would love to connect with you there.
