Hi, healers! I’ve been meaning to write a blog post for a few days now, but if I’m not feeling inspired, I just can’t seem to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). I’ve been focusing on my healing – coffee enemas, juicing, yoga, meditation, etc. – and coaching my girls, which is incredibly fun and rewarding. Yesterday, we took them to two NCAA girls’ basketball games. Here we are with some of our eighth grade players. I’m in the white sweatshirt (I look like an eighth grader) and Billy is on the far right.
It is fantastic to be involved in athletics again. I feel more like myself. As you all know, I was quite the little Tom boy/athlete my whole life so losing that part of myself was profoundly tragic for me.
Christmas was quiet at my house. I was raised Roman Catholic but am non-denominational now. More New Age Mystic than anything else. I ate the usual vegan healer cuisine, and my favorite gift from my parents was my Tiny Devotions Turquoise Mala Beads. They are beautiful!

Since time is a man-made construct, and I partied hard and enough for an entire lifetime my first year in Miami (hello, hottest clubs on South Beach and pent house parties!), I don't do the New Year's celebration thing. I'm home in my fleece PJs watching college basketball games, which is how I like to spend my free time. I will, however, reflect upon the progress I have made recently by saying that I'm beyond thrilled to have finished my Master's Degree, to have passed my board exam to become a licensed professional, and to have gotten off of all RSD and Fibro medications in the last 6 months. A year ago, I was doped up on ketamine and struggling to finish my Master's degree. These are welcomed changes.
My intentions for 2012 are the same as always - to continue to heal myself and to consistently grow personally and professionally. However those things happen is up to the universe. I will keep my eye, ears, mind, and heart wide open to receive whatever lessons I need to learn (gently, I hope).
Be safe tonight and Happy Healing!

I recently came across your blog, and really enjoy your posts. That necklace is beautiful! Happy New Year!! Oh, and it's before midnight where I am and I'm in my fleece PJs too :)
Best,

Happy New Year! I agree I did enough partying for a lifetime too. Glad you are getting some sports action and feel more accomplished. xoxo
I, too, have gotten partying out of my system. It slipped away with my desire to consume alcohol, both of which have bettered my health immensely. I do like to dance, but it is saved for the rare girls night out or in the kitchen while making dinner.
I have spent many weekends doing just what you are: laying comfy in bed reading a good book. To me, these are peaceful and happy times. One does not need alcohol or partying to be happy.
Happy healing into the new year and all my love <3
I check in with your blog from time to time. So happy you finished your Master's Degree. Are you going to be getting a job?
You diet must be working wonders for you! In your recent pics you look great!!!! The weight you picked up really compliments you!
Hats off to you!

Anonymous, hi! Thank you so much! I've been able to put back on the muscle mass I lost from lack of activity due to the RSD. I'm thrilled :-)
