“A disease-free life can only be realized in an environment of healthful influences.” Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Marianne Williamson

“A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones.”

Thomas Aquinas

Lay to rest
On my breast

Look into my eyes
And realize

You are unconditionally loved
A gift from above

As warm milk fills your tummy
Know that I am your Mommy

And will take care of you
No matter what you do

You are precious
I am blessed
And I will give you my very best

I don’t make my healthcare decisions
Based on political views
My research comes from experience and literature,
Not from the news

I don’t always listen to what the ‘experts’ say
Many of the most formally educated people I know
Lack the most intuitive sense,
Much to my dismay

There is actually a scientific reason for this
If you exercise much of your left brain
You might miss
Developing important parts of your right
This beautiful half of your brain
Can give you incredible insight

If the left and right can come together
We might realize
These important halves
Will help us to become whole and wise
