My To-Do List for You




Hi, healers! Before I get started, let me direct you to a great blog written by Lynn Walker, my spiritual counselor, on fear, which is something we all struggle with in a fear and ego-based society. The post is lengthy because she goes into detail about her own experiences with fear in her life. Very much worth the read.

Also, I am going to be vlogging again very soon. My vlogs were done when I first started treatment with my holistic doctor and my spiritual advisor about eight months ago (a lifetime!), and I feel as if I am a brand new child of God/Source/Creator. The last eight months have been a crash course in spiritual development and physical healing, and I would love to share that with you "in person" (as well as what the inpatient and outpatient ketamine infusions are like, how I have benefited, etc.). I have grown in leaps and bounds! Sound good?

I have been asked to write on a few topics:

1. How to have a chronic illness and maintain sanity in undergraduate and graduate programs.
2. A letter to the diagnosed from the spouses/partners of those with chronic illness.
3. Finding meaning in your struggles and using it to keep you focused on healing and out of the sick role (a personal account).

Any others I am forgetting or you want added? You can ask on my anonymous formspring page if you are shy.

I will probably address the higher learning topic first because September is coming up on us students quickly, but the will to meaning is important to me (Lynn also suggested it would be very beneficial to my readers).

Anything else I'm missing?

Happy Healing!

I would LOVE to read a post about dealing with chronic illness while in Graduate school. I am starting to stress because I start on the 30th, and it's going to be intense. In January (already!) I have to start a clinical placement and begin advanced practice nursing! Any tips on managing my mental and physical health would be helpful :)
