Dog gone It!..we had a link problem.
Below is the corrected link for the big show of FAAN Dogs in their finest Christmas attire. Thank you to our FAAN Volunteer, Annika Schoett for photographing our shelter dogs looking for their Secret Santa/Amigo Secreto and Furever homes.
All our Dogs want for Christmas is YOU!
We also have an invitation for the big FAAN-TASTIC concert a week from tomorrow, December 14th at 7 PM to sample our Holiday “Wines to the Rescue”. We have a beautiful Chardonnay and Cabernet we would like you to try with a concert by Gatos Negros at Cosecha Restaurant. We think it’s pretty cool that Cosecha is donating all proceeds from our first, Wine to the Rescue sale to the building of the first and most modern animal shelter in Ecuador!
Together we’re making Cuenca known as “The City That Cares” about animal welfare.
Reservations are requested for the Gatos Negros Wine Tasting and Concert at info@FAANecuador.org

Thanks to attending the language school “CCNations, Escuela de Idiomas” I was able to pass the Ecuador citizenship written and interview exams, and will soon become a naturalized citizen. With their homework materials and instructional classes, my level of Spanish increased to where I could study, learn, and pass these essential subjects: the history of the tri-color Flag (“la bandera”); the Coat-of-Arms Shield (“el escudo”); the National Anthem (“himno nacional”); the important battles, persons and events for gaining Independence; and the primary Presidents of Ecuador.
This is one of the top language schools I have ever attended!

“My success in passing the test on my first attempt was primarily due to CCNations, their time, efforts and patience in guiding me towards success. I really couldn’t have done so well without them. For this reason, I highly recommend this school to anyone who needs help with Spanish in any capacity.”

Stress, food intolerance, a medical illness and GI conditions can inhibit the absorption of essential substances such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, folic acid, Glutathione, or biotin.
Anyone can benefit from IV therapy, but some more likely candidates or conditions include athletes, adrenal fatigue/ insufficiency, common old, weak immune system, fatigue, hormone imbalance, low mood, digestive disorders, skin issues, heavy metal buildup, brain fog, upper respiratory tract infections and many more.
Zinc and selenium are two trace elements that are required for human health. Each of these minerals plays an essential role in the body, and insufficient levels can lead to a variety of health problems. In addition, zinc and selenium are required for healthy immune function, making these nutrients vital for keeping the body free of disease and common illnesses.
Selenium is an essential mineral that must be obtained through your diet.
Selenium regulates critical metabolic functions and is capable of fighting oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It can lower individual susceptibility to illness and is also indicated to support vital bodily functions.
BENEFITS :
Slows the progression of age-related skin and body concerns
Boosts immunity
Minimizes oxidative damage
IV Therapy is a way to get the nutrients you lack into the bloodstream. IVs are excellent at boosting energy, detoxifying your body, balancing your immune system, and reversing the aging process.
Cost of IV $60 + $5.00 transportation fee.

I am Daniela Cordero from CUENCA EXPAT INSURANCE; I work closely with reputable health insurance providers offering our, more than 850 clints, the best options. Many people assume that I am part of the BMI Insurance team, but that is not the case. I collaborate with BMI because they are one of the best in the industry, and I believe in providing my clients with access to top-tier options. However, I am an independent agent working solely for YOUR best interest.
My dedication to serving your best interest means that I’m constantly on the lookout for new providers, innovative policies, and cost-effective solutions even if it means looking beyond the familiar options.
When you choose me as your insurance agent, you’re not just getting a professional; you’re gaining a partner invested in your well-being. I am here to provide ongoing support, answer your questions, and assist you in times of need. Your health and financial security are my top priorities. I’m here to be your navigator, helping you understand the jargon, compare policies, and make informed choices. I want you to feel confident in your decisions and empowered to take control of your health.
My commitment to you is not about favoring any single insurer but about ensuring you have access to the best options available. I am here to be your trusted companion on this important journey, exploring all possibilities to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll find the ideal solution for your health and peace of mind.

1. Listening &
2. Mimicking…
Language learners focus mostly on the writing and reading skills and focus 95% of the time on developing them, so they become expert readers and writers (so to speak).
But
How to listen? How to imitate?
To improve listening skills we need to develop auditory memory. Adults learn in a different way than children since we already have a native language framework.
>Beginner students, I will help you build a cemented second language framework (the foundation of mimicking).
>Intermediate students I will determine what is preventing you from making progress, is this a pronunciation problem? or a word connection problem?
>Advanced students, we will work on the rhythm (pitch and intonation) of the language, which doesn’t mean accent reduction but accent addition (change the rhythm in connected speech).
That’s what I will address on my Training the ear course for beginner, intermediate and advanced students in the coming January 2024.
Time flies (el tiempo vuela), just one spot left, if working your listening and speaking skills is one of your 2024 resolutions, I am (still) here to help.

The benefits of deep tissue massage include but are not limited to:
1) Reduce pain and muscle tension:

That’s right; a deep tissue massage can reduce blood pressure. The stimulating massage will positively impact your whole body, including your blood pressure.
3) Suffering from insomnia:
A deep tissue massage. This treatment can reduce pain and tension and ease anxiety and stress for better sleep quality.
4) Break up scar tissue:
If you have scar tissue and pain from a former injury, this massage can help break up the painful scar tissue and improve your quality of life.
5) Heals the body:

Become a Secret Santa to a Fundacion FAAN Dog from Anywhere. Meet Iris:
Did you know that it costs a lot to keep a pup like me happy and healthy in the FAAN shelter? From my favorite flea medicine to the yummiest food and all the medical care that keeps my tail wagging, it adds up.

Every dollar helps us bark a little louder with joy and wags—thank you for considering a donation to support pups like me!”

You will also be entered into a FAAN New Year’s Gift Rally and you can even meet us at the shelter in January.
From me and my fellow four-legged FAAN buddies, thank you for thinking of and looking out for us. Maybe one day, we’ll all be home for Christmas.

No, if after reading my posts you are not convinced that what i offer has value, you should take lessons with another teacher.
>I have been paying X dollars per lesson with X teacher, do you offer some specials?
I value my time enough, I hope you do too.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy(LDT), also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD), is a form of massage therapy specifically targeting the lymphatic system to correct imbalances and promote optimal function. The technique involves light pressure explicitly applied in the direction of the lymph flow to stimulate increased lymphatic fluid movement throughout the whole body, specifically in dysfunctional areas.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is known for its ability to help move stagnant fluids from the body.
There are many causes of body fluid stagnation, both chronic and temporary, which Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can treat. The most common of these are post-surgical swelling and chronic Lymphedema. Still, while treating edema and fluid stagnation may be the most commonly known benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, there are many other benefits to LDT. These include assistance in detoxing and regenerating tissues compromised by burns, injuries and surgery; stimulation of the immune system; treatment of chronic inflammations such as sinus and bronchitis; help with symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and chronic pain; and the promotion of deep relaxation for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and stress.
Most post-surgical clients can expect a massage once a week for 3-4 weeks and then every two weeks for another four weeks. If everything is healing as it should be eight weeks post-op, you should be finished with your treatments.
The goal is always to spread the appointments further apart while still progressing in treating your condition.
If you need any additional information, please get in touch with me and make an appointment.
