Journey- to- Wellness

Journey- to- Wellness

July 20,2006
I am finally getting around to writing. It has been a very hectic week and I leave for NAshville Sat morning. I am very excited This is my second Hadasah convention and they are so uplifting and motivational and fun and you meet women from everywhere and you learn so much. THis year with the turn of events in Israel I am very anxious to hear some of the speakers.
Right now I am feeling well I just finished my 3rd rolfing session. I will miss it next week but I will try like heck to remember everthing Tom taught me today
I have had an adjustment everyday this week and one tomorrow so I am flying off knowing that I have done the best I could for my body
I had a business luncheon today and it was great. I met some new women and the speaker was highly motivatonal She does business coaching and helps you find the right career
I am not sure if what I amdoing now (Arbonne Skin Care Consultant) is what I want to stay with long term I fell into it when I wsnt well and it has served me well plus it is a wonderful product and I will always use it I am totally open to do something new now that I am getting better and learning so much from Heather and everyone and gaining new confidence.I will plan to have an appointment with her when I return
The coaching group I am in is wonderful I have only atended one session yet but there will be great things
BAck to the meeting, they change the lunch to a buffet whcih freaks me out but I just ate salad and steamed vegies and didnt overdue so I was proud of myself I didnt know my time schedule for today so I wasnt sure if I would get to workk out But I managed to get to the pool.
I am working very hard to do the Body Ecology diet It is reallly hard for me. I ahve added a lot of the foods and suppliments I am ok with them I actually like cultured veggies and the seaweed and I love making smoothies with kefir. I have learned that spirulina does not agree with me and I have been haveing intestinal diffficuties this week and that may contribute to it But I have been making tea out of flax seed and it is very good I dont even strain it. I believe it is helping my digestion along with kombucha tea And I like the grains but I cant give up my fruit.
This next week my food will be out of my control I will be eating in resturants and banquets. So I am going to be easy on myself and do the best I can.
I will be meeting up with an old friend that I grew up with and havent seen in 30 years. That will be exciting catching up She still lives in my old home town and I havent been there for over 20 years.
When I come back I will be having my appointment with Rhonda Lenair I am real excited about that. But I can wait for it
August will be a month of relaxing and doctors appointments for me August 1 I start at the eating disorders clinic at UCLA. If they can change the behavior in my head along with the work I do on the blogs and coaching and therapy It wil be a miracle But It is going to happen just like God will heal me of my pain.
I met a woman today who was from Houston and she had belonged to Joel Osteens church and new him fairly well
She is first on my list to call when I return.
Well I will close for this evening.
I just want to remind you that I am going to the National HAdassah Convention. HAdassah is the worlds largest Zionist Organization. That means it is for the preservation of ISrael and healing the world through health and education. I am very proud to be involved in this group and I will come home with plenty to share.
HAve a great week
In Love & Health

Karen, once again, I am amazed at all that you do!

I am so excited for you to go on this trip! I think you're going to have a wonderful time, and I look forward to hearing all about it when you come back! It sounds like it's going to be an immensely fulfilling experience!

How great that you are starting an eating disorder program! I will be curious to read about what they do with you and if you find that it helps.

Our issues are so complex, aren't they? I sometimes wish there were a simple solution to healing ourselves and others. Maybe there is... Maybe we just make everything much more complicated for ourselves than it really needs to be...

Good for you for doing well at the buffet! I find I mostly do well around other people. It is more difficult when I am on my own. Is that the case for you?

It sounds like you are in a good place to leave for your trip. I wish you strength and well-being and hope to talk to you again soon! It was great to chat with you the other day!

lots of love,
Emily

Hi Karen, I wish you all the best on your trip!! It sounds wonderful and you are doing such great things -- you are such a leader! I can't wait to hear all about it. If you make it to the coaching group, maybe you'll give us an update from the road.

I'd love to hear what the speakers say about what's happening in Israel -- one of my clients is there, so I've been following it carefully.

Take good care of yourself on the road -- remember we are all with you, loving you and supporting you from here!

With love,
Heather
