In an evening class at Stanford, the last lecture was on the mind-body connection – the relationship between stress and disease. The speaker (head of psychiatry at Stanford) said, among other things, that one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman, whereas for a woman, one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture her relationships with her girlfriends. At first everyone laughed, but he was serious.
This renders me speechless, teary-eyed, and with the feeling that I can accomplish ANYTHING that I set my mind to.
I don’t think there could be any more appropriate video today on Canadian Thanksgiving, than this one. Talk about being thankful and grateful for your shot at life. Talk about getting unstuck and off the fence.
These 3 minutes are worthy of your time.
During an early morning response to a house fire in Santa Rose de Temuco, Chile , firefighters witnessed the unbelievable. A mother dog risked her life to save her puppies from the fire surrounding the burning house, which started because of a car bomb.
The mother dog, Amanda, raced back and forth between the house, putting her 10 day old puppies in the safest place she could find – a firetruck!

What we believe about ourselves runs deep. Our unconscious thoughts determine how we instinctively operate in the world. Our daily decisions, big and small, all derive their roots from our personal power, what we think we can accomplish, and these decisions shape our lives, and our destiny.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
