Those who cannot find relief from ailments using traditional methods now have another choice with a new business that specializes in alternative healing: TLC Connection. The business, owned by Laurie Creery, was expanding so much at its previous location at Thunder Ridge Mall that it has now moved to a new location on Clay Street. TLC Connection celebrated their grand opening at this new location on Friday, Nov. 11. The new location will include Creery’s Lotus Boutique, a gift shop that will feature items for sale such as Young Living essential oils and diffusers. There will also be a room for workshops, a meditation room and a room where Creery performs therapeutic healing services. Creery has received a grant that allows her to treat eight to 16 college-age students per month at no cost to them. If demand is high, Creery said she is willing to work with students even if numbers exceed.

For the average 18-19 year old, college can be quite a struggle at times. But for Jordan Allen, the juggling act is drastically different. Allen is a freshman digital media journalism major who is f ighting Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Buritt ’s Lymphoma. She was diagnosed in September. Non-Hodgkins Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the B-cells, or immune cells, and quickly spreads. It becomes dangerous if left untreated. Allen wanted to become involved in many organizations but struggled due to the limits of her body. Despite her battle with lymphoma, Allen keeps a positive mentality.
“Being positive about it is all that you can really do,” Allen said. “Yeah, I could sit here and be sad and cry about it every day, but I’m living, right? That’s what matters. I have my sad moments and it’s okay because I need them; I need to cope one way or the other.” Allen discussed how even though many think she is always positive, she has times where she struggles with the circumstances she has been given. However, Allen said that her message to others is that though bad things can happen to you, living through it with positivity is important. Even with the lymphoma disrupting her UNI experience, Allen has found strength in her family and those in her dorm hall. See #ALLEN, page 6
