1. Movies I like… I like movies that are based on true stories. And I really like movies based on true stories about real people that have done something extraordinary.

1. A poem I have revisited these past two weeks… There are a couple of poems that I have kept with me since high school. This one… The Man In The Arena… is a great one. I have posted it before, but I’m reposting it for those that are being criticized by people who have…

After showing how almost nothing is truly in our control, he points out that the two things that actually are under our control are our actions… and our attitude. I’ve thought…
I had a patient a few weeks ago come to the realization that the yoga she had been doing was aggravating her condition. It was actually causing her more pain. This was frustrating for her because she had invested time and money into classes and instruction, and enjoyed it immensely. I suggested she try Pilates…
1. Healthy snack we experimented with this week… I am constantly trying to take the unhealthy foods that I love and find or create a healthier version of them (I even tried to make a healthy version of sausage gravy. Didn’t go too well!). This week, Lana and I made sweet potato chips. We sliced…
