My new friend Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine & Miracles, and one of our newest bloggers on Owning Pink, asks his patients four key questions I wanted to share with you.

Have you ever endured a business lunch? Oh the joy of sandwiches in the conference room again, or worse, rubber chicken at a local hotel.
But have you ever endured a business lunch when you are in the midst of revamping your diet to lose weight or control an illness? Egads. That is why one of the most common questions I get is "how do I eat for my health during work meetings?”

Over the past few months I’ve been thinking a lot about what truly matters. My mom’s diagnosis, illness, and death have caused me to stop, question, and look more deeply at the things and people in my life that are important. Through the pain and challenge of this experience, I’ve also been grateful for the perspective and awareness it has opened up.

When I was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I felt like I was walking in a fog. A thick, stew-like fog. I didn’t know what to do, where to turn. I couldn’t see or think clearly.
But that quickly changed when I had to re-enter the real world of responsibilities, obligations, and demands. All I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and make it all go away.
Sound familiar?

It was the first time I’ve ever walked out of a yoga workshop in my life. Let’s be clear — the teachers were fantastic.
But after my fourth downward dog, I started breaking into a cold sweat, got nauseated and my head began throbbing so hard it felt like it was about to explode. “Oh great,” I thought.

I’m so excited to be leading a workshop at Kripalu, a gorgeous retreat center in the Berkshires in Massachusetts in June, and for those who are considering signing up -- or even for those who will miss it, I wanted to share with you some snippets of what I’ll be teaching.
Do you need a jump start in your life? Are you feeling disconnected, both spiritually and from other people? Are you ready to ramp up your mojo, find your life purpose, get healthy, light your creative spark, and hang with me in the flesh?
If so, GOOD NEWS! You can unite with other vital women, speak your truth, be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU, get personal coaching, and light your Inner Pilot Light in the gorgeous setting of Kripalu.
You could say that my workshop is a “health” workshop, but if you said that, you’d be putting this workshop in a box and making it way too small -- although I’m a physician, I don’t think of health the way most doctors do. Which is exactly why I started OwningPink.com, because my definition of health includes not just the body, but also mental/emotional health, work/life purpose, relationships, creativity, spirituality, sexuality, and a whole lot more! I call it “whole health," aka “mojo.” As in GET YOUR MOJO ON, baby!
So what are we going to be doing?

Hiya Pinkies, Please welcome back to the mainstage Pink God, wise healer, and good friend Fred Krazeise, here with a piece he wrote over the summer (but is just as timely now - if not more so) about health care and wellness in the US.
A Pinkie just posted a comment in response to Fred Kraziese’s post God, Angels, Life and Moving On, and it inspired me to write a few words about the secrets that we keep. We learn to keep secrets from the time we’re very young.
