I am feeling much better Ihave had 4 sessions of chiro and roger is great and he is really helping me My pt is helping and so is my pilates. In about one hour Istat my Rolfing sessions so I am pretty excited.
I was feeling poorly and and in a fog from a sleeping medication my shrink had given me last Friday. I didnt know what was wrong but Iwas sleeping and sleeping and felt like I was in this fog. I realized yesterday that since it was the only new med I was taking and Ihad stopped taking pain meds that it had to be it so I quit and I feel beter
Ihave been talking to Heather about the BED I am trying to give it a shot and its hard She is giving me lots of advice and ways to prepare food
I am enjoying reading some of the other blogs and learning from them. I got an email this morning from someone on my IBS website who lives near me so hopefully we can meet up Iam sure we can help each other out
I have some busy weeks ahead and now putting the chiro in 3 times a week is really stretching the time. We ar going to Bakersfield this weeekend to visit with some relatives visiting from NJ and then next wekend my daughter Rachel willcome home and we wil spend the weekend in Santa Barbara to atend a wedding I am very excited. Ilove SB and havent beenthere ina long time
But I am getting ready for my big trip I am going to Nashville July 22 for the NAtional Hadassah convention. I am so excited Hadass is the worlds largest womens and Zionist organization I am very proud to be part of it. I am on the board of the Northern Region of Hadassah Southern California. We raise money for Israel and the HAdasssah Hospital in Israel and train and educate people from all over the world in the medical profession. Our Hospital accepts everyone even the Arabs, even though we are at war with them.
That is part of the Jewish tradition to help every living soul.
evry year our conventionis ina different city and this is my second time to go. I went 2 years ago when it was in Phoenix. We spend the week in workshops learning about fundraising and health issues and teaching Jewish children, leadership skills, tolerance, educational seminars about what is going on in the mideast. We have veery famous and distinguished speakers and we meet woman from allover the world and have a great time. And there are somany great tours and things to do in NAshville.
I am traveling with about 12 people from here and our first stop is the Grand Ole Opry.
We also vote on a lot of issues that Hadassah takes a stand on in the world.
Its going tobe a wondrful enlightening trip.
Ihave always enjoyed going away on trip and retreats with women. It seems always more fun.
Well Tom mymasage thrapist/rolfing master will be here soon.
I am going tohave a wonderful evening
Lots of love

Hi Karen.
I don't know if you read me over at onbulimia.blogs.com, but I read you!
I had an opportunity come up for me today, and I think it would be perfect for you, too. I'm going to post about it on my blog, but first I wanted to directly contact the people that I already "know."
Would you please email me at michelle@michellehope.org and give me either your email address or phone number? I would really like to tell you about what's going on.
With thanks and respect,
Michelle Hope
Hi Karen, I can't wait to hear what you thought of rolfing! I love your description of Hadassah --it sounds wonderful and your region is lucky to have you on the board. I can imagine you get to be a part of improving many lives.
July is full of great things, it seems -- this weekend with relatives, then Rachel, then your trip with Hadassah. I hope you take a lot of time to rest and take care of yourself in between as well -- to take in as much energy as you put out. You are so kind and giving.
With love,
Heather

My rolfng experience was wonderful I did feela lot loser and better I cant get down the part about relaxingmy butt I ahave been tightening and squeezing that thing for as long as I can remember But Tom gave me some good breathing techniques and it is helpng I have been physically beter this week than Ihave in 3 years and no pain meds Tom said totake them if Iwas in real trouble but I am going to try to stay away. For the long ride to Bakersfield today I will wear a Lidocaine patch just as a precaution I dont want to go from 3 -- 10 in a minute. My pain level is very low and Iwant to keepit that way Tom says through the rolfing my tolerance will get greater
One thing did happen that was alarming He was working on myinner shoulder area where the bone and the armpit come togethr Many years ago I use to hurt my self there (cutting burning etc Idont know why Ijust did it) and waves of emoton went through me and I was hyperventilating and crying and he tryied to ease me outof it He said this body work brings up a lot of emotional bagage I remember this happening once before but Icant remember details and he said it never happend with him. I toldmy hypnotherapist about it I had an experince similar with him but different I was in a purple bag with a lot of my ACS friends celebrating our joy over the succes of Relay this was a number of years ago My purple bag is a safe place for me along with the purple ribbons., but it does produce a lot of crying Anothr time I was doing a meditation witha friend bringing me back tomy inner child and I wept and wept because I couldnt save that baby KAren
I fel like a have written a blog entry
Anyway this is going tobe a great day. The Lord has made this day and I am going to enjoy it. I will celebrate in the gifts that God has given me. And move on with my life
Lots of love
KAren
