Cole, I have to agree. Taylor just had the right words at the right time. When I really need a lift…it’s Shania all the way.

Maria,

Thank you for your comment. My sincere apologies for my delay in approving and responding. I agree with your recommendation. I’ve been on hormone replacement therapy since I was 37 years old. Brain injuries can disrupt hormonal balance. Unfortunately, my doctors took me off of my hormones for “those 5 years” during the “hormones cause cancer” scare. I’ve been back on them for the past 6 years and getting them adjusted every year and when I change other meds. They have made a huge difference. The first week of July, I will be in a position to start giving my blog regular attention. I hope to hear back from you in the future.

Lois

When you reach menopause, you may need some hormone replacement therapy just to stay on top shape.-;~

Comment on Listen to the Wisdom of Your Little Voice by Kim Gibbs

That little voice speaks to me on occasion and I’m always amazed at what happens when I listen to it.

Not long ago when I was in the middle of a crazy-busy day, that little voice told me to go grocery shopping – NOW. So I dropped everything I was doing and drove to the store. When I got there I ran into a friend who was crying and in distress.

When she told me what was wrong, all I had to do was make a few phone calls to the right people to get the ball rolling to set things right again. Soon her problem was resolved.

It’s not that there was anything special about me, I just happened to know the people who would help her fix her problem.

Recently, that little voice told me to learn Spanish. Sounds strange but I know enough to follow it. Quien sabe? (Who knows?)

Comment on Coping Humor by Lois

Kim,

Thank you for sharing. I relate to what you said. After we experience a “life-changing” event, our priorities shift. Some of the “things” that occupied our time and attention get pushed to the back burner where they belong, so we can make time and give our attention to people and passions that used to be on our tomorrow list. Happiness is the blessed reward for persevering through the suffering. Plus the confidence gained in learning you are stronger than you knew. Congratulations on all the new territory you are exploring!
Your friend, Lois

Great advice, Lois. After I survived my bout with breast cancer, I started “going for it” more often. I took a trip to Alaska, joined an equestrian drill team, started to learn Spanish, began writing a second book and learned to cook from scratch. Once I recognized my mortality, I quit putting things on the back burner and made them happen. I’ve never been happier!

Marge,
I so wish that Western Medicine and Alternative Medicine would work together better. I know from personal experience, it is very stressful to coordinate care between both, it feels somewhat counter productive.

Marge, I, agree with your comments. I am fascinated by human energy, the interrelationships between healing mind, body and spirit, and restoring balance within the body. I love learning about alternative healing practices. I would be interested in learning more about Shamanism and Shamanic healing from you.

Congratulations Marge, on opening your practice as a Shamanic Practitioner!

Kelly,
From one “never give-up or lose hope girl to another” … it is so fitting that you are the first one to respond to my very first blog post! Got you hooked up to receive my newsletter. In the meanwhile, you can read past humor tips on my website at Humor Tips. For other readers, Kelly and I became fast friends six years ago, when I submitted my brain injury story to the Brain Injury Association Of Montana Website, long before I started my motivational speaker business. Kelly was surfing the internet in New York in the middle of the night looking for information about brain injury and came across my story. She phoned me the next day. We’ve been in and out of touch the past six years. So glad to reconnect with you Kelly!

Thanks for spreading the word that often there is more to healing than western medicine therapies. While I wouldn’t go without doctors, I believe there is much we don’t understand about human energy and the interrelationships between healing mind, body, and spirit. Alternative healing approaches can change our internal balance and bring about better health in all these areas.

I would be interested in hearing more about your experiences with Hashimoto’s and menopause – this combination is so common and there is so little known about how to deal with it.

Thanks for a great blog!
