It is SO comfortable…
To believe what we have learned to believe.
To think the way we have learned to think.
To be with folk that think and believe as we do.
Yet, stepping out of that comfort…
    Into difference
Opening up to totally new thoughts
Can be really uncomfortable,
Until, you find you have grown.
Until you find you are open
Until you scoot along the path
Of Constant and Never-Ending-Improvement.

There’s something in you
… that the world needs.
You are here for a reason…
And that reason is to transform the world
One other folk at a time.
Never doubt how much you are needed.

​Happy New Year!

Medicine is changing at the speed of light. Politics, dogma, “trust the science” and big money are tearing each aspect of medical practice apart worldwide. It is time that we care for our patients and our beloved profession, using the highest ethics and LOVE for all people. We must take the lead. 

Here is essential reading to start your new year off. I cannot recommend it more highly! The book is The Next Wave is Brave. 

“My mentors and teachers failed to impart to me in medical school, the terms and conditions that prioritize courage [in the practice of  medicine.]. Alas, in the medical profession, there are many heroes, but courage is optional.”

“I’m sad to say that [courage] is really, very rare.”
— Peter McCullough, MD in The Next Wave is Brave.

In love, I ask you to join me. Together, our courage can buoy our world!

Sure, you wonder sometimes…​
If you are ready to move to the next ‘step’;
If you are able to deal with what’s happening;
If…
Gather your courage
And know with your Divine help
Even if not ‘ready’,
You can do it!
How do you know that?
Because the other choice
Leaves you where you are now.
Grasping, worrying, wondering, 
Not growing toward ‘more’.
You can do it.

Things couldn’t possibly be any better than…​
...being free to think as you think, 
Perceive as you choose,
Being grateful instead of feeling the victim.

Choose joy, happiness, gratitude.
Even your mistakes - take you to better.

Love you!!

Are you confused, not sure?
Trying to decide?
Maybe the Universe is slowing you down
'Til an even better option emerges.
Live in gratitude.
Until the option that comes up
Is so obvious, so incredible,
That you feel sure.

Enough of all of your heart’s desires. 
Enough business.
Enough money.
Enough happiness.
Enough love.
Enough of every supply.

How to access your enough?
Focus on your wonderful life,
And less on feelings of “not-enough.”
It won’t get any easier, better, more,
Until you expect it to.

Your awareness and understanding
Of the all-providing activity of 
The Divine within you
Is your source.

...Is often the best parts of our lives!

Your breath.
Your comfy bed.
Your feet touching the floor each morn.

Say thank you
Right now for your breath.
And in the morn, say thank you for your cozy bed,
And your feet on the floor when you arise.

Thank you!
Because gratitude changes the seeming mundane
To the miraculous that is our everyday.

To imagine, to feel
How you will feel
When you reach a goal.
Hear the congrats!
Feel the hugs!
Thoughts are important-
And even MORE IMPORTANT?
FEELINGS!
Feel how you will feel
And put the lilt in your step!
Feeling energy is most potent
In boomeranging back atcha
Bringing your goals to reality.

Your heartbeat quickens
Maybe even your forehead feels damp
That tight feeling of worry
Quick!  Give that thought up.
Go quickly to a happy thought.
(Hint: plan the “go-to-happy” thought
Ahead of time
So when you need it, it’s there for you.)
Example:
So grateful for the air in my lungs,
My ability to walk,
The earth under my feet,
Quick!  Go to it!!
You are reshaping your life!!
