Getting started
Like many of you, I am interested in the continued health and well-being of my family, my community, my country, and my planet. This blog is a place where we can come up with ways to help each other WAKE UP to our own responsibility and how to institute change. There is much talk of a national health care crisis. I don’t believe that fixing the insurance companies, controlling the doctors, nationalizing health care or subsidizing hospitals is the answer. I believe that each one of us is responsible for this problem and therefore the solution. Look around. Watch what people put in their shopping carts at the grocery store. Check out the line at In & Out Burger! WE ARE CREATING OUR OWN WORST NIGHTMARES by eating, drinking and sitting ourselves to dis-ease!

Thank you so much Nancy for taking on this all too important subject so our community has a forum for sharing. I started learning to own my health 12 yrs ago after breaking my leg so severely that it put me on my life path of preventative health and wellness. My chiropractor started me on this path by teaching me the value of nutrition by juicing raw organic vegetables and taking antioxidant and mineral supplements, and swimming for exercise.
ReplyDeleteLater after my recovery, I entered a high stress job in product marketing with worldwide travel that began right after 911. To counter the stress, I started Yoga classes (YEAH!!!), got regular massage therapy, and I learned to meditate to keep dis-ease at bay from a balanced mind, body & spirit approach to health. Four years ago I moved to beautiful Northern CA, quit my high stress job, and became a distributor of anti-aging and wellness products. Since then I have seen phenomenal changes in my clientele’s quality of living. There is nothing more important than quality health, and for this reason I highly endorse Suzanne Somers latest book BREAKTHROUGH, 8 Steps to Wellness, a series of interviews with 12 leading edge anti-aging doctors. The most important thing I have learned in the last few years is to live my life in the now (not regretting the past or worrying about the future) and living life joyfully in community with others.
Welcome Kimberly! I am very excited about have this forum for educating, sharing and supporting each person who stops by to visit. Letting others know they are not alone in the struggle to balance all we are supposed to be doing in a day with what we know is best for us. Such as taking time to eat a healthy organic meal, or meditate for 5 minutes or make it to our favorite yoga class. I think it comes down to feeling valuable enough to make our daily "to do" list.
ReplyDeleteI truly think that this blog is a great idea and a big endeavor for Nancy to spearhead. So thank you very much Nancy!!! I too think that most Americans need to take the time to assess their life style and what they are eating and feeding their families. We all need to learn that so many of the things we do to ourselves are gravely effecting our health which in turn is causing our health care system to become more and more expensive. The one thing that bothers me the most about our system is the families that are doing a good job caring for themselves that become financially ruined due to a medical emergency. A large percentage of families in this country cannot afford health insurance so when an unexpected accident, etc happens they are overcome with a huge medical bill that will take a lifetime to pay. Some how our system needs to be changed to provide basic health insurance for everyone!! Hopefully we can all share ideas about how to be as healthy as possible, learn how to cope with our current health care system, and discuss ways to improve our health care system to provide care for everyone.
