B'SD 10 Tevet, 5779 I write about mental health at e-counseling.com, and advocate many fun ways to improve moods, mindsets, and mental health. I break down difficult concepts into easily understood "infobytes" that clarify ideas for my readers. One of the most wonderful methods for improving mental/emotional health is with music. It's soothing. So is singing. If you've ever wondered why singing is so satisfying, even if your voice is not rock-star or operatic quality, listen to this video.
B'SD 25 Kislev, 5779 Last night was the start to the festive Hanuka holiday. Instead of sharing information oriented to physical health today, I simply want to share the joy of this time in order to lift your mood. Bask in the warmth of life-saving miracles, especially now. Music enlivens our hearts with a sense of happiness, and that's good for anyone's health!
PS- Remember that GOD doesn't always "shout." Sometimes S/He "whispers."
B'SD 13 Elul, 5777 I stay busy updating the E-Counseling site with mental health news and how-tos. One of the other things I do is to educate my facebook fans of medical innovations.
Perhaps thinking of a new way to appreciate the miraculous wonder of the human body will amuse you, too. This might even make you laugh, and that's a pro-health thing to do!

B'SD 22 Cheshvan, 5777 My hectic schedule has me posting updates at night. I just returned from a heartwarming "Hootjam" with friends. Some of us sing, some play instruments, and all of us have fun each Tuesday night. But gosh, we've never done anything THIS powerful!

B'SD 14 Tamuz, 575 One of the treasures in my life are my friends. I've cherished lifelong friendships and newer ones that make me a better person for having interacted with specific people. They are blessings to me. One of those blessings is Miriam Green, a writer, blogger, neighbor and administrator of a highly effective social organization. Miriam's mother has Alzheimer's Disease. Loving daughter that she is, Miriam brings us on her journey of spiritual and individual growth by letting us peek into her life and her mom's at the Lost Kitchen blog. Miriam gave me explicit permission to share her newest facebook update today. I strongly suggest that you click on it to improve your simple decency, sense of compassion and spiritual worth:

B'SD 11 Tamuz, 5775 One of the things I advocate for well-rounded emotions is having a hobby. I enjoy several, and thought to let you have a look at some of my dried flower arrangements
and candelabra plate
creations.
Care to guess which hobby I longed to resume though 2005 brain surgery had resulted in my surgically broken jaw (and my need to learn how to speak, all over again)?
There's a reason that I whistle as I walk. I've needed to strengthen my damaged emboucher (the relevant muscles of my face and lips) so that I can resume flute-playing. As of this past April, I've been able to get sweet sounds from my flute. Now that I've recovered from moving across the country, I hope to hire a music instructor so I can play in a pleasant manner. Stay tuned for developments. I'm still thrilling to the fact that my recent singing performance was well-received despite a long time off the community theater stage.
Please share the fun. Let me know what you do to stay grounded and joyous despite inner or outer pain. Buy the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.

B'SD 27 Sivan, 5775 I've been busy with personal projects, friends who arrived from overseas, and life in general. This blog has been silent while I've been occupied with that. Let's break the silence together. I'd like to share a sweet thought with you about how to keep achievements, failures, disappointments and blessings in perspective:
I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to G - d said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the persons who asked for them."
I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.
"How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."
"How does one acknowledge G - d's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you . .." "What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.
"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."
"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 700 million people in the world."
"If you can attend a church/synagogue without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are envied by and more blessed than three billion people in the world."
"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm. You're unique to all those in doubt and despair."
"Okay. What now? How can I start?'
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special, and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day. Count your blessings. And if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
"Thank you G - d for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it."
If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on? I thank G - d for everything, especially all my family and friends.

B'SD 9 Tevet, 5775 We've laughed and sighed about the aging process this week. I like how comedians put things into perspective: "Growing older beats the alternative." No matter the age we've arrived at, healthy perspective is important. It lets us fulfill our potential, and to feel the joy of recognizing it. Learn what you can from the life lessons at:

B'SD 24/25 Kislev, 5773 Chag urim samayakh is Hebrew for "May your Chanuka be filled with spiritual light/happiness." Hanuka is a holiday of dedication to morality, the ideals of being ever-better than you were yesterday; living under the guidance of GOD.
Happy Hanuka, Chanuka, however you care to spell it.
