Happy New Year -- Owning 2010

As time has progressed and I have grown older and wiser, New Year's Eve has become just another day to do what we were meant to do on this earth -- be love, spread love, and self-actualize/personally develop. Our personal growth is a never-ending task, rivaled by difficult times and significant life stressors, but we must persevere to be the change we wish to see in others and in the world. Negativity can spread like any other disease, overcoming every thriving thing in its destructive path and sucking the life out of its host (us). It is far easier and much more comfortable to be miserable, which is predictable considering how difficult life can be. The challenge is learning how to create a view of the world that suites healing and spreads love like a raging wildfire, turning hate to dust in its path.

So, what are my resolutions? I just told you! To spread love and positivity and create healing in this world one person, animal, mountain, ocean at a time -- starting with me.

I am seeing a new holistic doctor who also does acupuncture, and our first meeting was a total success! She is testing my hormones -- think about how RSD lessens and even disappears during pregnancy -- and every other testable thing imaginable. The hormone route seems very promising because I have many other signs and symptoms of low progesterone, but for now, I have been given these supplements to start before my first acupuncture treatment on Monday and test results. If anything, my horrid PMS and periods will improve!:

My PH level is at 6.0-6.5 and it should be at 7.5 for optimal health. I honestly LOVE this woman. Besides being over-qualified and board certified, she is just a lovely person. She is of the mindset that RSD is autoimmune :-)

Shorter is resting up for 2010:

And I am drinking a green juice and reading two new self-help books for personal growth and healing on New Year's Eve:

Happy New Year and Happy Healing!!!!!!!! 2010 is going to be my year! Make it yours!!!!!
