Can Blue Zones help turn back the biological clock?

admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 13:55:57 +0000

Eat nuts! Surprisingly, that’s something people who live longer have in common.

Here are four things you can do to increase your odds for a longer and healthier life:

Create environment where you are nudged into physical activity
Set up your kitchen in such a way so you are not overeating
Cultivate your sense of purpose
Take the time to surround yourself with the right people

Two Wolves Inside Us: a Cherokee Story

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:37:13 +0000

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’

Breast Reconstruction GAP and DIEP

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:44:28 +0000

Just wanted to say hello to my all my breast cancer sisters and their families and friends! I’m in Groton, MA and had my breast reconstruction done in New York.

I am a five year survivor! I had bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction surgery. The hardest part of the surgery was dealing with the insurance company. Dr. Alex Keller made the rest incredibly easy. He accommodated me in every way possible.

GAP Flap (gluteal artery perforator) is the kind of surgery I had done in 2004 by Dr. Alex Keller in Long Island, NY. The surgery was skin-sparing and muscle-sparing. I have recovered some sensation. I feel whole and beautiful. I can wear a bra, or not! I play hockey and exercise as well as I did before the surgery.

You can find out more information about this surgery at http://www.breastflap.com. Please go there and look at the pictures and find out about GAP and DIEP breast reconstruction surgery before you make your decision. You have more options than you think and BETTER options that your own doctor will tell you about! Please write to Dr. Keller and ask all your questions. I promise you will get an answer from Dr. Keller.

Please get in touch with me if you want to learn more about my surgery and my wonderful experience with Dr. Alex Keller.

I will write more here on the discussion board and on my websites, including http://www.TotalWellCoach.com and http://www.StrongDynamics.com soon.

I Think I Can

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:20:45 +0000

I am smart and capable in your eyes

When possibility appears

Your mindful listening, gentle words

Delight in what you do,

Form the matrix that supports me

As I climb and try,

Try and correct, try and correct.

And I think I may, and then I will

Until I think I can

I think I can!

Without a should and never a why,

You knew I could

And then, I did.

The Process of Improving

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:47:41 +0000

There is a line in the song “Cherry Bomb” by Jon Mellencamp: “We were young and we were improving.” My version would be, “We were improving, felt like we were still young.” I’ve discovered it is the process of improving that keeps me feeling young, vital and having a sense of purpose in my life. Like that old oak outside my window, I’m still growing and it’s all good!

…I’ll meet you there

Fully Alive

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:42:37 +0000

I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

To allow my living to open me,

To make me less afraid, more accessible,

To loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;

To live so that which came to me as seed

Goes to the next as blossom and

That which came to me as blossom,

Goes on as fruit.

—Dawna Markova
