If there is ever anything that makes me holler "aaaaaaaaarggggghhhhhh!!!!!" in wretched frustration it's the exhausting allergy attacks I get from time to time.
In the past 2 weeks I've had 4 days of allergy attacks.
All-day-long sneezing, non-stop leaking from my nose, :( and insanely intense face, nose and eye itchiness. If you've had these types of allergy attacks you know what I'm talking about.
SO FRUSTRATING!!
Just this weekend I learned that my friend Kathy (with a K), who had been rushed to the hospital because of an appendix attack, was recovering from something much more serious.
Initially she thought it was only really bad menstrual cramps, which wasn't unusual for her. She learned the truth of the offending appendix at the ER when the pain got too intense. Off she went into surgery. She'd have a quick appendectomy and be set!
As you may have noticed, I’ve lately been on a theme of reflecting about my attitudes about my body. I know I am not alone in having a love-hate relationship with my body; so given that I am in a helper/healer role, I aspire that some of my insights and experience will be helpful to you as well.
This week I had an opportunity to step into deeper acceptance and even embracing of some of the imperfections of my body.
Let’s try this experiment: think of a child or pet you really love and cherish. The innocence of the child or pet helps you feel the purity of your well-wishes towards them. Feel all of the good, joy and wellbeing you wish for them. Hold them in your heart for a moment. (If you’re having a hard time choosing someone, you can imagine Daisy on the right. She was my sister’s sweet yellow lab.)
A week ago, I attended the Longevity Now Conference in Anaheim, California. It was a packed 3 days from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, full of inspiration and information. Some of it was new for me, some of it was a refresher, but all of it renewed my passion for helping you create thriving health naturally.
