Something is always happening @ the Café. Just as many of you, we have nestled nicely into the social networking avenue. So, won't you join us at one or all of the sites below?

Many people come to the Café and want to utilize their insurance. I understand. If I paid for insurance, I would want to utilize it, too! However, it's important to understand that insurance in America is not "Health Care" - it's for "Sick Care".

Please take a moment to watch this video from our friend and Chiropractic advocate, Bill Esteb.

Well, that was enlightening! If you still have insurance questions, feel free to call us at the Café of Life.

Monday is Movie Nite @ the Café

2009-09-11T19:56:00.000-07:00

The Café of Life will be screening the eye-opening documentary "The Beautiful Truth" this Monday at the Café.

There will be light snacks as well as wine, beer, water & soda. (No keg-stands. Sorry...the Berk will be open until midnight)

Lights flicker @ 6:50 - Movie begins @ 7pm sharp and ends @ 8:30. Short Q&A to follow. You are free to leave right after or you can hang out and ask questions. We will wrap up at 9pm.

This is our first of many documentaries to be shown in our Café. If you can't make this one, no sweat. We will show it again late in the Fall.

Limited seating - so RSVP is required by Sunday 5pm. Email us from our site: http://www.livelovethrive.com/contact-us.php

Well, Allie & I have been a little slow on the whole "Blogging" thing. Mainly because we've been too busy opening a business. Excuses, excuses. Anyway, we wanted to tell you all about one of our peeps (we don't call them patients - denotes suffering). Jennifer Mosquera is a amazing artist that just had another showing last night. It was a great night filled with good friends, good drinks, awesome music and rockin' hummus.
Check out Jen's work @ http://www.jennifermosquera.com/

it's been a while

So, since our last post, we have moved into our space in Stapleton and opened up shop. Our office name is "Café of Life Chiropractic" as we really wanted to align ourselves with the other Café's around the world. No, it's not a franchise. It is, however, a group of like-minded Chiropractors that stay true to the Straight Chiropractic Philosophy that has been essential to remaining different from other medical disciplines in America.

We are grounded in our faith that God designed us with everything that we need to heal. As long as there is nothing interfering with that healing ability. Nutrition, environment, physical trauma, emotional distress, unhealthy relationships, severed relationships with God, family and loved ones, etc...

All of these things can (and do) manifest in the physical body. Our nerve system controls and coordinates our entire being. There is a direct relationship with the immune system and the hormone system. Bottom line: if your nerve system is able to function @ 100% - the other systems have a greater chance of operating @ 100%.
I love the quote, "God doesn't need any help - just no interference!" How true.

Have you had your nerve system checked lately?

We got into Denver last night and crashed at our friend's place, Dr.
Cody & Chrissy. We have stayed with them before. They've been SOOO
much help and always full of encouragement for us.

We got to Stapleton at 11am today (Friday) and just finished unloading
the Penske, which was way better than every uHaul I've ever used.

Here's the main marque for our little downtown. Keep in mind that
there are 3 other retail centers with the big box stores like Target
and Best Buy. Our retail center is small mom & pop shops and, of
course, a Sixbucks...I mean Starbucks.

Trip Update - Spooky: No Radio Reception

2008-06-12T17:12:00.001-07:00

Strange, near Quinter, KS there are no FM stations that come in. Only
music and backwoods talk radio on AM. Seriously, I just listened to 10
minutes of a farm equipment bulletin board. A rural CraigsList, if
you will.

This 22 hour trip has been a great time to relisten to North Point
Church's "Starting Point" mp3's. They are AWESOME!!! If you're
intrested, shoot me an email from thrivechirostudio.com with your
address and I will send the to you for free.

At least according to this brochure in Hays, KS. There is actually a
pretty cool history surrounding this place.

That's one thing I wish that I did more of in Atlanta: learn about,
visit and appriciate the historical places there. I'm sure Denver has
some interesting history!

Trip Update - The Great Plains

2008-06-12T13:26:00.001-07:00

Here we go. Starting our flat portion of the drive.
"Folks, this is your captaon speaking. On the left you will notice
nothing. Out of your right window - nothing. And if you look way off
into the distance...you may need to squint, but you just might make
out...nothing."

In all honesty, it's really beautiful out here. I am amazed at how the
terrain changes as we cross the country. God is a majestical creator
that loves variation. I wonder what the new Earth that the Bible
speaks of will look like one day?!?! Seeing as we have really screwed
the pooch (what does that even mean?) on this 1st version.

Numerous friends told us how utterly boring the drive through cattle
country is. Pun intended. Utter. Ah huhu, cow nipples. Maybe we
can stop and find some raw milk...

Because of our trailer (yee ha) we had to park in the hotel's back lot
by their water park. Fun part was trying to get out of the vehicles
with the sprinklers aimed at us. This morning we got to enjoy the
festivities all over again!

Trip Update - Kansas City

2008-06-12T08:40:00.001-07:00

The view from our Sheraton hotel room. Trust me, this is a far cry from the night before. The Ramada "hotel" we stayed at in Clarksville, TN was not even deserving of the name motel. The sink was dirty and there was mysterious dark material on the toilet seat in the first room along with the AC not working - just blowing warm, moist air. Yeah, nasty. Then at 3am we changed rooms. The second room was ok, at first. Then, for no reason, they turned our AC off from the front office around 4am.

The Sheraton was totally different. Even though the first room at the Sheraton had no thermostat, they moved us. The final room was awesome! We highly recommend staying here. Got a $150 room for $70. Not too shabby. www.clarionkcmo.com

We had breakfast in bed for the first time in our lives...granted, it was complimentary.

This is our final day of our trip. We will be in Denver tonight and will be moving in to our apartment tomorrow at 11 am...yay!

After 5 or 6 months of negotiating Allie and I FINALLY agreed to our LOI (letter of intent to lease) and are awaiting our official lease. We have set a moving date of Monday, June 9th 2008 and are very excited.

We will use this blog to keep our loved ones posted as we’re too lazy to repeat the same info over & over again. Also, we plan on posting details of actually starting a Straight Chiropractic office from the ground up for students so that they can learn from our mistakes.
