It's Hanuka Make-a-Miracle Moment!

It's Hanuka and it's our job not to merely pray for a miracle, but to BE a miracle!

Remember the lessons in that Super-Better game? That Boo-Boo Barbie healing stunt that I pulled one Purim?

Tomorrow I'll share insight into how some life lessons helped me to deal with a shock to my medical file - and to me - this past month.

12 Kislev, 5775

As I count down the days until Chanukah, a time of spiritual light, an unusual proposal came my way.

Some  business people are putting together a collection of uplifting television programs. They asked me to join the team and to launch a show about the healing plus coping possibilities in the eastern, western, and alternative healing worlds.

Why?

Because my journey from blind to sighted, from death's door to astonishingly good health, is miraculous. All the miracles came about with human effort. And with eastern, western, and alternative healing modalities.

Spirituality was a 

HUGE 

part of the picture. 

Optimism was, too. Even when I had to pretend to be upbeat.

Medical professionals eager to help patients with similar or other medical problems now take notes about all that when they examine or meet with me. 

Some of them, not on my regular medical team, schedule time with me so they can learn about my unconventional, sometimes standard, healing methods and progress.

I appreciate the opportunity to share information with the world at large.

So, I've begun preparing experimental scripts, themes and more for the proposed show.

But I need to know something as I continue my work:

What do YOU want to see and learn as you EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge on TV?

Feel free to send questions you want answered, topics you'd like to be addressed.

The launch date for the show is several months from now. You can be part of the preparation process.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight and Miracles to Make Us Laugh

B'SD

6 Cheshvan, 5773

A snarky comment to indicate skepticism goes something like this: "Eat Chocolate and LOSE Weight!" The funny thing is, I do eat a specific amount of chocolate daily, and lost weight when I needed to anyway. My dining habits are sound, and the brand of chocolate I use is low in sugar, high in theobroma/cacao. That supports heart and brain health, but not wide waistlines.

There's a Spanish saying I enjoy, "Las cosas claras y el chocolate espeso" (Ideas should be clear and chocolate thick). On that note I'll share a little miracle with you.

I was in the BIG city of Jerusalem today,
wondering which miracles 
might happen to me. 

I was surprised when I 

unintentionally met up with 

a guy who has a television show. 

He asked if he could feature me on it 
tomorrow. 

I answered "Yes, I'd be delighted!"
(as I laughed to myself 
"This is kinda miraculous!").

Let me know what you'd like to me to speak about FAST! Leave your comments below this blogpost.

The possible topics are:

• The EMPOWER Yourself book,

• The medical miracles in my life,

• How to make miracles happen (trust me, there are tried and true ways - within limits)

• Or something else.

Let's find out if talking about miracles or other medical issues can have us sharing a few laughs. Laughter is very good for health!

Love + Health = Making Medical Miracles Happen

B'SD


10 Nisan 5772


There's nothing like the boredom, anger, despair and resignation that go with a medical problem or disability. Some days the sense of rage is more that you or anyone can bear. You only want to be completely well.


But coping with a medical challenge doesn't necessarily mean recovering 100% perfect health. It does mean, however, strengthening yourself in emotionally, spiritually and physically meaningful ways. You can seek ways to make your life meaningful with your condition, and sometimes even more meaningful than it was before your diagnosis. A productive perspective: That's health!


Listen to this news report about Janne Kouri's Medical Miracle. List everything that went into his optimism, tenacity and success. Then list all the things YOU can do to help yourself, and perhaps other people as well.

Love + Health = 

Making Medical Miracles Happen

If you need some help to get that can-do list and better perspective going, read a book that medical and mental health professionals plus clergy of different faiths recommend:

Please let me know how  E-book or print edition EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge  has helped you and what you've accomplished because of your efforts.

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism. Add love and tenacity, too.

The back cover of

holds praise from medical and mental health professionals.

I was delighted to click on one of my Facebook pages today to see this praise from a newer reader of EMPOWER Yourself, another medical professional who has communicated her personal appreciation of the book to  me in the past:

 

Yocheved Golani has written

a comprehensive manual for

the ill and those helping

the person experiencing a medical crisis.

Her approach is compassionate and

filled with messages of

hope and universal faith.

I found the book pro-active, not reactive.

In Ms. Golani’s encouragement to use

positive language, she enables a reader

to look at their circumstance

as a point of growth.

She has productive exercises

for the reader,

using one’s own words to

approach a medical crisis

(or chronic illness) is going to

last much longer than the

“you should” messages

so many ill people face.

The list of resources is a commodity!

Whew, everyone experiencing illness

should have access

to this comprehensive list -

it’s action oriented, for sure.

Ultimately, the most endearing

and enduring message

one can receive from this book is:

Medical crisises may happen,

but who you are,

how you manage -

it’s in your hands.

Pick up this book and be

your own best advocate!

Vacation Sensation

I'm back from a retreat up north. I'm speechless from the intense joy, comfort, spirituality, natural and man-made beauty of Rosh Pina, the workshops, plus new connections and revealed older connections of the participants from all over the country. Utterly, deeply fascinating, fun, mesmerizing and mystical as participants with different worldviews bonded with each other. It was NOT the mere vacation experience I'd expected. This was indescribable. Just the raw natural beauty around us was very emotionally and physically healing to retreat participants.


Much of the retreat was focused on emotional, spiritual and physical health. Brisk book sales put smiles on the faces of my readers as EMPOWER Yourself addresses all those issues, and then some. Retreat participants spoke with me privately of their physical and emotional diagnoses and how they've been inspired by my personal story to surpass them. They appreciate the book's message that "There is no One-Size-Fits-All" solution to multiple medical problems. The text helps you to take your challenges one doable step at a time, and illustrates the variety of methods for solving different problems. We are not locked in to one way of doing things. Miracles abound in the world. We have the power of making choices and inviting The One Above to let some miracles happen with us.

Readers, this one's a stunner.

You're already afraid of doctors and painful tests. Thoughts of deadly and disfiguring diseases leave you almost speechless. And all too often predators play on those fears, trying to hurt you. For what? Fun and profit? To sell more newspapers?

The journalism world deserves a major shakedown so that only credible, hardworking fact-checkers get the real story to you. Fantasies belong on relevant shelves in libraries.

Have Quality of Life Despite Your Medical Problems! 3 Simple Steps.

B'SD



18 Elul 5769



Dear Readers,

Four years ago, my writing career and personal life crashed the day I woke up completely, unexpectedly blind.

I fainted in the emergency room after learning of a BENIGN brain tumor that had been killing me for 18 months.

Then I helped doctors to save my endangered life in a way that would astonish the medical team for years to come.

Unable to walk on my own, facing the risk that my heart could stop beating without warning, I took the slim chance that dangerous surgery could save me by envisioning a healthy, productive future.

That surgey was an obvious success.

I walked out of the hospital on my own power. And despite medical expectations, I then began to see. Better and better.

I wrote a highly acclaimed book about my unprecedented recovery:

The prescription on my eyewear fell 12 times in 3 years.

My eyecare team is made of teaching professors. They're astounded at the unexpected progress.

Though these prestigious medical practitioners had predicted that I'd be blind for life despite life-saving surgery, exams prove that I see better at each visit. Some doctors believe the day will come when I won't have any need for glasses or vision therapy.

Orthopedic specialists have examined me closely. They learned that my bones and muscles are in the condition of a woman HALF my age.

They wondered why I could be in excellent physical and emotional shape, despite my traumatic medical history. Some of these specialists joined mental health practitioners in reading my book

Then the social work staff added my book to the hospital's Patient Information Center.

Now other mental health and medical practitioners read and recommend that book PLUS its newly-released updated edition.

The result: people worldwide are learning what I did to remain alive, well-adjusted, and to thrive against BIG odds.

They're mimicing my actions. You can, too.

Find out how you can add to/improve YOUR quality of life, with physical and emotional coping skills, despite the medical situation you're in.

A Miracle that's Unfolding...

B'SD

5 Sivan 5769

I didn't post anything yesterday as I was in emotional shock to some extent, then quite busy on a medically related phonecall made TO me. Here's why:

I keep thanking G'D for the wonderful news I received this week: my prescription for eyewear has been LOWERED for THE 12th TIME since August 2005 emergency surgery to remove my former Petroclival Tentorial Meningioma strangling every nerve leaving my spine and entering my head.

I went into surgery BLIND and nobody quite knew if or how well I'd ever see again. I came out of surgery with one paralyzed eyelid that couldn't open and other complications.

The eyelids are now open almost equally. Strangers long ago stopped asking me why one eye seems to be at half-mast.

My vertigo seems to be significantly less as I can now run downstairs at will, even carrying heavy objects or wearing a heavy backpack. I still walk near handrails when I'm using stairs, but I'm not holding on for dear life anymore. I glide gracefully as I did years ago.

Whodathunk????????

My medical team is in so much shock at the recovery that one of the docs is now consulting with me on how I observe my organic healing diet/lifestyle and prayers so she can better help neurodegenerative patients at a major hospital for such problems (that's the phone call referenced above).

WAHOOO!! I can see better, I'm not at great risk for more sudden falls/broken bones and my sense of dizziness is markedly LESS! Just a drop left to tell me that the healing is almost 100%.

Oh - women in the 'hood wanna know how I keep my figure. I was puzzled at the recent questions until I realized that I've been walking long and longer hikes without quite realizing that... OMIGAWD I'm walking huge distances without assistance, fatigue or falls!!!! It must be toning my muscles. And I didn't have to join a gym!

MORE MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!

Readers, recoveries are possible. I'd been written off as "going to further deteriorate" by some medical professionals and now I'm showing a prestigious medical practitioner how to promote HEALING for her neuro patients!!!

I'm dancing my way into the Shavuot holiday that begins in a few hours. La da da, G'D is healing a shnook like me!!!!! What a favor!


I wanna Pay it Forward and coax all of you: Pray for dear life, do life-promoting things and hang on for the Physical and Spiritual Rollercoaster Ride of Your Life.

To your good health,
