Marathon to Inner Peace, a Poem

Finishing the 2007 Nike Women’s Marathon

Many blessings to all! It’s been a while since I shared a poem. Enjoy, “Marathon to Inner Peace.” You will hear that we were challenged in my Writing to Wellness class hosted by Creative Suitland and facilitated by Spoken Word artist and Poet Extraordinare C. Thomas to write about the journey to inner peace…do you give up because it’s taking too long or keep going?

Healing is painful and is not a Sprint, just like in the picture above of me completing a marathon…it takes time to train for it, then you finish by running one step at a time at your own pace. However, the other side is a great reward and much deserved! You deserve to heal!

One Kind Word Goes a Very Long Way

Photo Credit Unknown

Many blessings everyone!! One of my Aunt’s sent the image above to me earlier today. One kind word can truly change the trajectory of someone’s day. They can have a tough day ahead and your kind word can push them through. You never know the impact of one kind word until you say it and sometimes it may happen at the end of the day. If that is the case, pause and give thanks for the kindness.

Also, be kind to yourself today too. Look at yourself in the mirror and say something positive to yourself.

I remember leading a group through my Calm Connection Workplace Wellness Program recently through a variety of meditation’s. One in particular was the Loving Kindness Meditation and it felt so wonderful to not only share this with people, but to show them how just a little bit of kindness towards themselves and others can shift their entire day!

If you know of an organization, small company, Health practice or a group that could benefit from self-care workshops and a Workplace Wellness program; then please send them my way. It’s a blessing to help teach people how to de-stress while they are going through their day and how to be kind to themselves. You can find out more about my program by clicking here.

Be well everyone!!! Take good care. Remember to be kind to others and make sure to do the same for yourself. Many blessings.

Advocating for Your Health Condition! You Deserve Fair and Great Treatment!

Peace, love and light everyone, I hope all is well. I wrote a blog about bad bedside manner and how I’ve experienced doctor’s not being good listeners, misdiagnosing me, lack of compassion and other stuff. I decided to put a video together in honor of Ovarian Cancer and GYN Cancer Awareness month, but this video pertains to anyone with any sort of health condition (I have Chronic Lyme) and even if you have pristine health and getting your annual checkups, you still deserve the very best care.
.

For those who haven’t heard of this term “bad bedside manner” it means a few things. There’s a lack of or no compassion expressed, their listening skills is low or at a zero, yes they are medical experts BUT even though you are the expert of your own body they try to downplay what you do know about your own self & condition and they even will go as far as to state that a couple of the other doctors you may have on your medical team like I do are wrong (they are know it all’s). Some feel as if they can talk to you any which way.

I hope this video empowers someone and sheds some light. You are your own best advocate and if you have a caregiver then they are as well. Just know that you are worthy of having the best care, to be the center of attention, to be listened to and to receive good treatment. PERIOD!
