So the study is out…​
Anti-depressants do not do what we have been told
For years and years.*
But - an escape of laughter is a tonic for mind AND body.
So is an hour vacay, a walk in the park, 
A cuppa with a good friend.
The joy, the lightness that follows
- Is the best antidote for worries and depression.
  • lightens your burdens.
  • Makes your workday go so much better.

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.
