A Health Information Management professional, I survived a life-threatening emergency with information that only a person of my professional experience would know. And I’m sharing it!
B'SD 6 Cheshvan, 5778 I'm looking forward to my speaking engagement this afternoon, and relieved to have completed a month's worth of mental health articles for the E-counseling site. The weather has been gorgeous for days, and I'm appreciating the lower, non-humid temperatures. My indoor potted garden is growing nicely, enhancing the nutrition and flavor of my meals. I chanced upon an update about the things that medical professionals fail to inform brain injury survivors about. Listen in to this radio show. It just might help you or someone you know.
Watch for my forthcoming article about how I provide Self-Help Coaching services to appreciative clients. My focus is always on empowering people to address their own issues. My role is to provide information and to cheer them on to success. Buy the E-book or print edition ofEMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

B'SD 4 Cheshvan, 5778 See the information here! It's a pleasure to know that EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge print and E- book remain in 1st place after all this time! Anyone in Israel can listen to me discuss that later this week. I'll be the featured speaker at the Beer Sheva English Speaking Group (behind the WIZO building on Rager/Weitzman) this week. C'mon over and join the interaction with the book and author.
26 Oct 2107 Subject: How to Advocate Your Own Health:
B'SD 3 Cheshvan, 5778 I read thisAmericans Retiring Later, Dying Sooner and Sicker In-Between...headline and wondered "What went wrong?" America has been a leader of health statistics, from infancy up. Mortality rates were enviable, demonstrating excellent health care far into older ages than in previous decades. Interstate systems allow easy transportation of goods and services, the ports function well and mass media publicizes healthcare options. Foods and medicines have been plentiful. Granted, Obamacare has limited those healthcare options and many US residents did not keep the doctors they preferred. But there's more to this dying sooner and getting sicker than ever story. I ask that you respond to my question and let me know "What went wrong?" that Americans are now experiencing a declining life expectancy, and a deteriorating quality of life.
I have my suspicions about why Americans are sickening sooner than ever and at an alarming rate. The opioid epidemic signifies the underlying problem. I hope to share some of my ideas tomorrow. I'll be happy to respond to your questions and comments then, too. Buy the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.

Fill your heart and soul with motivation. Seek it out!
B'SD 29 Tishrei, 5778 It's been a hard week for many people struggling to cope with all the bad news and soul-searing junk online. So, my readers, I want to share a message from my heart with you. In many respects, the blog world is slowing down. People have been inundated with updates about this or that until they simply can't absorb the shocks anymore. Overwhelmed with too much information, they tend to forget details and wonder what they read online the other day. Worse, the ugly news of crimes and agony leave a person needing time off from the 'Net and the news. Emotions need support with upbeat realities. Brains and blood pressures need rest from turmoil. Some bloggers do their best (me included) to share happiness and empowering updates that leave our readers stronger for the experience. But it's hard to overcome the negativity created by other people. Statistics from some research organizations indicate that good-hearted people are spending more and more time away from the Internet and broadcast media. The toll of learning which innocents were shot, molested, bombed or betrayed is too much to bear day after day. Some of us wonder how to live in a world without social media and its mind-numbing, soul-crushing negativity. Pornography, mass casualty events and fear-mongering is not the stuff of a happy life. It bothers normal people.. Meanwhile, some Internet and broadcast media content builds strong minds and positive emotions, even if flamers and reputation-ruiners flail away trying to damage someone. I spend considerable amounts of time interviewing mental health professionals and clergy of different faiths, or reading relevant materials (part of my research efforts) so I can prepare articles that support public mental health. I long to spend less and less time preparing blogposts, though. Being online is a time-consuming task. I know that my scribbles help some of my readers. I've read responses to my blogposts from Anna in India, Netivot Girl and Batya in Israel, several men who prefer that I not name them, and a few kids here and there. Still and all, I would appreciate more feedback to my blogposts here and under my individual articles at http://www.e-counseling.com/.. I want to know that you consider my efforts helpful, and why. I want to know that I spent my time well, not in futility. Let me know that you find your reading time under my aegis to be worthwhile. Do you feel better off from my efforts? Did you gain knowledge that helped you? Do you need something else that perhaps I can provide?
Let me know.
And let your acquaintances know if you recommend that they read my writings.

Fill your time with things that build you, not things which destroy you.
October is breast cancer awareness month, organized and publicized by various breast cancer charities, but this is an article worth reading any time. And notice that the article cites the need to ban toxins from your body. Keep them out of your furniture, food and wardrobe. MEN: You are also susceptible to breast cancer. Use the ideas mentioned in the article to protect your health, too.
Going organic isn't just a breast cancer preventative. It restored my eyesight! It saves lives stricken by many illnesses. Consider the blogpost just before this one, because it holds an important idea related to the information above: When Byron Katie, Steven Covey, Tony Robbins, Caroline Myss or any motivational speaker addresses how to cope with life, ALL of them accentuate ACCEPTANCE. As Byron Katie teaches, “When you argue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.” Need to learn how to rid your life of toxins, including emotional varieties? There are important, can-do lessons for that in the E-book and print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.

B'SD 20 Tishrei, 5778 "Choose new words." Caroline Myss used the phrase in her presentation below. A remarkable life lesson overall, the emphasis is on seeing the present with gratitude and love. I hope to share some of Caroline's ideas in my upcoming address to an audience that will soon gather to hear me speak on the topic "How to Advocate Your Own Health: From Guided Imagery to Assertive Behavior." I hope that you'll benefit from this TEDTalk recording. It gives voice to so many ideas that I never knew how to express, life-saving concepts that saved me when doctors didn't know how. My heart knew what my voice did not.

It's hours before the freedom festival ofSukotbegins, and I remain miserable to know of the suffering once again inflicted on innocents enjoying a concert. Terrorists simply despise fun and happiness. I've been at a loss to know what sort of message to post at this blog. Sympathies abound worldwide. So, since we're in this together, I've decided to make my message unique by sharing two recipes that build strong bodies and minds, the better for weathering emotional storms. They're already cooling on my kitchen counters so I can share them over the holiday. Make these yourself and we can enjoy them together, so to speak. Seed Crackers (full of nourishing Omega-3 and gluten-free!)
1 half cup each of sesame, chia and flax seeds, (poppy seeds if desired) and enough water (1/2 cup or so) to bind it.
Salt to taste.
Spread the mixture out as thin as possible upon a sheet of oiled baking paper already set up on a baking tray.
Layer with another sheet of baking paper.
Bake at 180 degrees C for 20 minutes or until done.
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt, and sesame seeds.
In a medium bowl, mix oil and eggs thoroughly.
Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Divide dough into two pieces. Place dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll to about 1/16 inch thickness. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and transfer the bottom piece onto a baking sheet. Repeat this for the remaining piece of dough.
Cut the dough into small squares no bigger than 2 inches with a knife or pizza cutter. Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly golden-brown. Let cool and enjoy!
PS - A much-loved song written by Naomi Shemer is Shlomit Bona Sukkat Shalom. The title and the song are about building dwellings of genuine peace, and living in peace.
May GOD bless the world at large to dwell in true peace. May emotional agony become a dim memory.
May miracles fill our lives.
