Wishing YOU a Heart-warming Hanuka!

B'SD

24 Kislev, 5778

The fun and highly significant holiday of Hanuka aka Chanuka (and all the other possible spellings!) begins tonight. Because the holiday commemorates pro-active behavior, I've hunted around for a heart-warming, pro-active story to share with you.

I hope that you'll enjoy the story below.



Her friends, who have called themselves "Harriet's Harem" since 1996, have created a support group remarkable in its loyalty and longevity.
They give "pro-life" an entirely different meaning

I'll be back on the blog as of Monday. I'm about to focus on lots of inner and outer preparations for Rosh HaShana. Lots of organic, vegan, macrobiotic cooking is on my present schedule so I can share the results with guests over the 3-day holiday/Shabbat time.

I wish all the world a healthier, happier, sweeter year in 5778.

Wholesome Foods Support YOUR Health. But Processed Foods...

B'SD

23 Tevet, 5776

I've done speaking engagements when listeners were astounded, been scolded by doctors who doubted my claims and fielded social media critics who scoff at my story.


Scientists are vindicating me.

Wholesome foods support health. Industrialized, processed "foods" undermine it.



Scientists argue that processed foods weaken the intestine’s resistance to bacteria, toxins and other hostile nutritional and non-nutritional elements.
WWW.JPOST.COM


There's more data about how synthetic additives and packaging negatively affect the food supply and ruin human health.

Go organic as I did. Watch what happens over time, as toxins leave your body to be replaced by solid nutrition.

Nobody needs synthetic chemicals that undermine human health.

How to Repair a Bad Attitude toward Disablities 1-2-3!

B'SD

29 Kislev, 5775

Here's something I posted to Facebook earlier today:


This tearjerker captures so much of what those of us with medical challenges face.
https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Tom Rinaldi tells the remarkable story of Kayla Montgomery -- who, despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, has become one of the best young distance...

My own life included the brutal dismissal of my decreasing vision and balance abilities as "Excuses." Some people assumed that they knew my life better than I did. Some of them intentionally exposed me to imminent danger by refusing to assist me as requested.


I've suffered several broken bones 
and other setbacks as a result.

When a disability is not visible to observers, they can be quite heartless with inappropriate demands.

Remember the old slang expression about a bad attitude, "Badittude?"

Much of my Self-Help coaching efforts focus on helping people to recover and to strengthen a sense of self-worth/dignity after people have been inexcusably cruel to them.

The public needs to know that asking open-ended, clarifying questions is necessary before reaching conclusions. Without the answers to those


Why?

How?

When?

What?

Where?

Who?

What if?

Could I/you/someone else?

questions, nobody has the right to appoint themselves judges, juries or executioners of people. They lack sufficient information to reach sensible conclusions. Their inevitable rush to judgement is a nasty phenomenon that causes unnecessary pain.

The "Well, I just assumed..." excuse is invalid, spelling pun fully intended.



Do the world a favor this holiday season. Make it a spiritual time filled with insight and compassion you'll have gained by not rushing to conclusions. Begin by asking thoughtful questions that lead to informative answers. Indulge in patience for the person before you.






And share this blogpost - on both sides of the medical challenge - with people who need it.

There are several sections in the




book to help the wider world to understand the "Need to know" phenomenon, and lessons for behaving far better in the future. 


Read it with someone you love.

Fix your battitude. You just might find things to admire in those of us dealing with invisible hardships. And that can strengthen you.

According to an October 2007 Zogby Poll on MSN: Most Americans pay attention to health study results

Here’s a snippet about relevant findings:

“The vast majority of Americans - especially older adults - say they are paying attention to the results of health studies, a new MSN-Zogby poll shows. Overall, 21% say they pay a great deal of attention to the results of health studies, while 62% pay some attention and 16% pay little attention - just 2% say they pay no attention at all.”
