A call went out to nominate local heroes and heroines:

Name: Cristina Goyanes (National Publication)
Category: Lifestyle and FitnessEmail: query-ecf@helpareporter.com
Media Outlet: National PublicationDeadline: 07:00 PM EST - 25 June

Query: I’m looking for nominees for a special feature story in a major national publication that will spotlight a handful of extraordinary men and women who have contributed to the nation’s health, fitness, or nutrition on some small or largescale. We’re open to all do-gooders, impressive doing-their-jobbers, role models, innovators, scientists, book authors and activists. We welcome the well known, lesser known,and unknown, as long as what they have accomplished something worthy of national praise in 2010. Please send your nominees bythis Friday (6/25) to cristinagoyanes@gmail.com. Thank you inadvance for your time and cooperation. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Several nominations went out because of my books and coaching (I've spoken and coached in the USA during my travels). Look at one of the results that were forwarded to me!

Dear Ms. Goyanes:

Re: your call for nominees for an article about outstanding Americans who have contributed to the nation's health, I nominate virtual unknown Yocheved Golani, an amazing woman whom I have known since our elementary school days in Oak Park, Michigan. She was afflicted with multiple brain tumors and threatened blindness, but endured and triumphed over her illness with incredible positive good humor and optimism.

Spurred by her personal experience, Yocheved wrote a book to help others cope with medical set backs. "It's MY Crisis And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge" is a handbook, rich in advice, exercises, and resources to help patients navigate the medical system and maintain their physical and psychological strength during their illness in a pro-active, upbeat manner.

Yocheved would be a great candidate for your feature article, and I thank you for your consideration.

Best Wishes,
Susan Tawil

PS--You can Google "Yocheved Golani" and it will link you to her web site and info about her book.

OK readers, I hope you'll share the information in this economically tough time for health care.

iPhone-friendly E-book "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4244.html calms readers and helps them to strategize about how to get the best possible healthcare (so does my coaching).

The second part of "EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge" lists reputable organizations providing free and low-cost QUALITY healthcare resources worldwide! Facebook that!

Find Your Inner Hero: The Hero Within

Ladies, this post is for you, too. Find your inner heroines as the guys find their inner heroes.

As we go through our medical crises, willingly or unwillingly, we might marvel at the inner strengths and capabilities we'd never known we had until the moment of truth.

My book and Self-Help Coaching work are, in part, based on helping you to realize the heroism you may have failed to notice in yourself. And partly based on helping you to become heroic to the best of your abilities.

One of the people who gave a hearty recommendation to my book did so because he benefited from it. Renowned writer, teacher and phenomenal person, Dr. Rahamim Melamed-Cohen is that captivating man. Get some insight into the depth of his character, and how much a person can grow by facing a medical crisis head-on. Click on a brief look at his life, The Hero Within.

I hope that now you'll appreciate the words he wrote for the back cover of my book:

"It's MY Crisis And I'll Cry If I Need To"

is very interesting and useful.

It can help people with emotional difficulties.

I have ALS disease, and

I found much of Yocheved's advice useful.

I recommend that everyone,
including healthy people,

read this book in order to increase

the quality of their lives."

The Qualities of Heroes

B'SD

Today is one terrifying anniversary. My condolences go to people whose lives were changed forever by the inhumanity of 9/11. The crisis changed how much of the world views life.

Facing any kind of crisis goes two ways: you can be completely unprepared or you can become the type of person who gets ready one day, one decision at a time.





Click on MIRACULOUS SURVIVORS, to read something interesting that CNN posted the other day.

The writer noted specific character qualities in survivors. I know from my familiarity with the mental health world, and with my own life, that these charactertistics can be nurtured in people who lack them. I sure wasn't born brave. I suspect that I was born with knees made of jello or totally wet clay. No inner strength I knew of.

Here are those identified personality traits. See what you can do to create and to develop them in yourself:

1. Humility

2. Independent Thinking (you're not simply following a clueless crowd)

3. Paying attention to your intuition. Got a gut reaction? Heed it.

4. Strong family/friendship bonds (I'm adding friendship since some of us lack family members. Friendship serves the need just as well)

5. Planning for survival (my friends are familiar with my "I have a Plan B and Plan C in case things don't work out," voice of wisdom)

6. Clear Priorirites. You don't waster precious energy on useless efforts.

7. Keeping your wits about you. Make it a hobby to stay alert to dangers and to potential solutions.

8. Adapting to your environment.

9. Accepting reality and people for what and who they're not.

10. Focusing on the good that can come out of a horrible experience (compassion, insight, courage, respect from others, etc.)

11. Envisioning a better future. It's your brain. Make the world you want with it. LIVE!

12. Using your anger, fear, all your emotions, to serve your needs.

And gosh, every one of those traits can be developed when you read my book. It's the story of how I did just that plus exercises to teach you to do the same thing! BUY IT HERE!

I welcome you to recommend my book to CNN ;^ )
