Eileen says, “Other blankets did not work for me and I would not use them, so I designed my own. After seven prototypes, I was thrilled to have the perfect weighted blanket. Others loved them so we made more. Now, it has turned into a full-fledged business, and I am so excited about this. Cozy Calm and my weighted blankets feel right to me. I’m giving to others in a way that makes people with autism and/or sensory processing disorder feel good and sleep better. And, I am doing my small part for the autism community.

As a person with autism, I want to grow awareness of autism and create understanding for people with autism and their families, so I started The Cozy Calm Blog. I wanted my weighted blankets to be just right for people like me. I hope you enjoy your Cozy Calm weighted blanket.”

So, what is a Cozy Calm Weighted Blanket?

A Cozy Calm blanket is heavy blanket, and depending on the type of fabric, cool or warm.  It is designed to give an overall hug for a comforting and relaxing feeling.  It will likely make you feel less stressed, drowsy, and wanting to sleep.

It’s filled with round, heavy plastic beads made from the same type of plastic used to hold food, like milk jugs.

It is made with a secure inner liner to hold the beads in place so they don’t slosh around.  A soft outer fabric is sewn together with the liner for the finished blanket.

The outer lining is made with soft fabrics such as fleece, cotton fleece, and high-thread-count cottons for a super-soft, luxurious feel.  The sewers make the blankets so the weight stays evenly distributed, yet conforms to body for an overall hug.

• It’s machine wash cold and dry low
• Made in Minnesota
• The plastic pellets are from an American company
• The fabrics are high quality

It has a unique flexible design that has a patent pending.

People use Cozy Calm’s Weighted Blankets for:

• Insomnia
• Stress
• Overall relaxation
• Sleeplessness in menopausal women
• Yoga
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• ADHD and ADD
• Sleeplessness in seniors
• Fibromyalgia
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• Schools, hospitals, occupational therapy clinics, care centers, and social service agencies buy a Cozy Calm.

We are expecting this to be a popular show based on the content, so be sure to get your questions in early. Our interactive chat room will be open during the call.

On September 1, the highly anticipated buzz-heavy “Tea and Sympathy”, in less than 24 hours of its online release, impressively scored a #15 spot on the iTunes Singer/songwriter chart.

This time around, Billie has got some heavy hitters in her corner. The envelope pushing musically expansive new CD features collaborations with such highly acclaimed songwriters as Peter Vale, (Lemar, Beverly Knight) Marcella Detroit, (Shakespeare’s Sister, Eric Clapton) and Kristen Hall, (Sugarland). While staying true to the expressive vocals and incisive lyrics that have earned her a loyal fan base and ongoing critical acclaim, Myers has broken new ground musically.

Working with UK producer Dee Adam, Myers has fashioned a unique collage of sound that intertwines electronica, trip-hop beats, and bluesy guitars around her live acoustic/rock roots.

Having formed her own record label Fruit Loop Records, after being dropped by Universal, Billie Myers is going the independent way by successfully utilizing the internet as a marketing and distribution tool.  She is releasing her first single “I Hope You’re Happy Now” exclusively on iTunes UK and iTunes USA.

Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers

A resolute follower of D.I.Y ethos, the talented artist, who has already established via a guerrilla style type of promotion/PR a strong world wide web presence, is setting the perfect example on how independent artists can distribute music sans major label support by making full use of the internet and the many social networks a la Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and Twitter to name a few.

Then there was: grocery shopping, cleaning house, doing laundry, feeding the babies (newborn twins), putting them down for a nap, getting them up, running errands, and getting a jump on dinner before the big kids came home just…so…she…could…help with homework, help with dinner, wash the dishes (and the kids!) and, finally, place them securely in bed with lots of hugs and kisses.

As a nanny, Candi gave these parents the support they needed to keep their children healthy and happy. She gave them the gift of stress relief, increased job performance, happy children…a happy family. And then another miracle, she says…“I became divinely inspired with the gift of match making, matching families with the right nanny or babysitter for their children.”

It was 1994 and Candi, now a wife, purchased her very own nanny placement agency. Soon after, Nannies4Hire.com was born. Based in Nebraska and serving all of the U.S. and Canada, this booming online database registry serves more than 500,000 families, nannies, and babysitters. “Years ago, families spent around $800 – $5,000 for an agency to place a nanny in the home.

Now you simply go online, bring up your zip code, and find a whole list of providers looking for a position. It’s a huge money saver and, with the economy being what it is, having a nanny makes it easier for families to accomplish all of today’s demands.”

The database is designed to assist families in finding a quality nanny for their specific needs and, likewise, to offer nannies an enjoyable employment experience. A free preview of available nannies is viewable to families, whether you’re looking for full or part-time, temporary, seasonal, live-in or live-out nannies, or elderly/companion care.

While there’s no fee to look, Candi says, “Once you become a paying registered member, then you gain access to contact information and advanced search features. Tools are also available to registered families and nannies, including sample interview questions, a sample reference form and a sample contract.”

Don’t be surprised if Nannies4Hire.com sounds familiar. This skyrocketing agency has been featured on The Dr. Phil Show, Super Nanny, and on TLC’s show John and Kate Plus 8. Ready for the next level, Candi launched Care4Hire.com, a database registry for personal assistants, tutors, eldercare, and other services. “We want to empower families,” says Candi, “to know the right questions to ask when hiring a caregiver and to feel comfortable checking references and backgrounds so they know their loved ones are safe.

We also want them to know it’s ok to ask for help, especially given today’s lifestyles and environments which put more stress on a family than ever before. In the long run, having a nanny or a caregiver benefits the entire family by making a household run much smoother.”

Here’s Beth Ann’s story…you’re gonna fall in love with her and her mission, I guarantee it!

Dan and I grew up in the small Midwest town of Collinsville, Illinois where we were married in 1989. I relocated to Tacoma, Washington to join Dan at McChord Air Force Base, where he served in the Unites States Air Force. Dan was honorably discharged in 1993 after being diagnosed with chronic ulcerative colitis and the military decided he was no longer physically able to serve his country.

The process of separating from the service, at least in 1993, was a very interesting process, Dan went to a series of appointments, signed a few papers, received a stack of the papers that they said would help us transition to civilian life, and sent us on your way. Not only was Dan burdened with a life threatening illness, we were both emotionally and financially stressed.

After much deliberation, we decided to move back home to Illinois so we could utilize the best resources we could find… our family, friends and one of the top colon specialists in the country. We left Tacoma with very little to our name, but were determined to get Dan better and start a family.

Today, 16 years later, we have two beautiful daughters, a healthy Dan (without a colon), a beautiful home in Mesa, Arizona and many wonderful friends. Friends like Tim and Nicole Little, who have shared their lives with us, inspiring us to make a difference and help other soldiers and families like themselves. The best way I know how to do this is to raise awareness about the need and raise funds for USA Cares.

About the Home Sweet Home Campaign – TShirts 4 Soldiers

The Home Sweet Home Campaign’s TShirts 4 Soldiers helps connect people with their deployed family and friends while helping post 9/11 wounded war veterans here at home. The Home Sweet Home campaign has pledged to raise $1 million dollars for USA Cares, a 501(c)3 organization. For every TShirt sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to USA Cares Warrior Treatment Today Program.

Whew, what a story and mission! Beth Ann’s website is http://OurSoldiers.org.  Please visit her site, listen to our show, and see what you can do to honor this mission.

As always, DivaTalkRadio airs every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. EST and Beth Ann will be featured on October 21, 2009.(http://DivaTalkRadio.com/live)
