* It’s never too late to make peace with your body, even if you just realized there was a war going on… (Quotes from an article I serendipitously stumbled upon)

“Illness comes for a reason, and in itself may actually be a positive opportunity to stop and examine one’s life, to get rid of an addiction or toxic lifestyle, or to turn from focus on strictly material matters to relationships, or to seek spiritual help or growth.”

“You are the one who knows your body best, and as you go through these observations try to expand your awareness beyond your own life to see also how these or other dis-harmonies are reflected in your own self, and the relationships with your friends, family, and even your community. As crazy as it sounds, ultimately it is your own choice to heal or not to heal as it is your own innate healing ability that is activated by your desire to get well.“

“It is possible that even a single period of intense stress lasting months such as occurs with a divorce, death of a family member, loss of job, a bankruptcy or other life-changing event may eventually lead to serious damage to the tissues which could trigger the development of a chronic disease such as cancer. Decades of habitual emotional distress can have a similar effect like living long term in an unhappy relationship or working for a boss who is awful to you.”

“The body itself has no power to generate illness; illness is merely the shadow thrown by the mind. A healthy mind will shadow forth a healthy body; an unhealthy mind will shadow forth an unhealthy body. Every new cell created in the body is either negative or a positive thought in form.”

It’s time for me to heal myself.  I feel like my real journey is just beginning… and I’m ready.

*  Make every day a day you would relive…

… beautiful afternoons with family…

* … Silly evenings with your best friend…
