A stroke is a terrifying and life-changing event, and it’s natural for a patient to feel confused, sad, or angry following such a medical emergency. But in 1996, when researcher Jill Bolte Taylor experienced a burst blood vessel on the left side of her brain, she viewed the experience as a valuable opportunity to learn what exactly happens during a stroke. After she first realized she was having a stroke, Taylor continued to observe her own body, even as its functions shut down in rapid succession. Before long, the neuroanatomist had lost the ability to write, talk or walk. Still, she realized that even after the logical left side of her brain had shut down, her formerly underappreciated right brain continued to function, bolstered by its fluid and intuitive nature.

If you’re anything like me on this wild path of self healing, this post is perfect for you. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years on my path of healing. I’m happy to say that today I live symptom-medication free of a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis is one of 80 types of auto-immune disorders known today touching 350,000 people in the U.S.

I’ve worked with about a hundred healers from every modality; Acupuncture, Ayurveda, light therapy, Reiki, networkchiropractic, thai yoga massage, cranial sacral massage, re-birthing, angel therapy, yoga, Natropathy, intuitive heart healing, the Grindberg method, hypnosis, past life regression, quantum biofeedback to zen meditation — you name it, I’ve probably have done it.

Do you like your job?

Do you like what you do?

I’ve spent time with a wide range of folks – people in start-ups, people in recently established businesses, people in small companies, and people in large companies. This question comes up a lot, yet you can’t seem to figure out whether or not to stay or go. Whether to try something new. If it’s possible to fix something that’s an existing problem.

Dance. Dance. Dance. Shake your Hips.

This video, of a two year old dancing, captured my spirit today. I’ve shared it with everyone I know who loves dance as much as I do. I’ve watched it over and over. Each time, it makes me grin wider and inspires me to get up, dance, strutting through my kitchen and dining room while swaying and shaking my hips and booty.
