\"\"<\/a>The ability to communicate about my healing journey has taken on various forms.\u00c2\u00a0 I have talked about it amongst friends, loved ones, \u00c2\u00a0written in my diaries and now have expanded my community through this blog.<\/p>\n

Recently\u00c2\u00a0I wrote an article for the Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI)\u00c2\u00a0that was published\u00c2\u00a0in \u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0December 2011 Volume 32 Issue 1 Healing Our World<\/em> magazine.\u00c2\u00a0 I was delighted to have the opportunity to share about my experience at HHI and how supportive they have been in my health journey.\u00c2\u00a0 My article can be found on page 21 at \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/hippocratesinst.org\/magazines\/32-1_screen.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also have a link to this article on my home page.\u00c2\u00a0 Look to the right\u00c2\u00a0under the section: Archives you will see a section: Publications<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 Other publications will be posted there, so stay tuned for more!<\/p>\n

In this article I speak about my experience at HHI and how I learned to become the leader of my health.\u00c2\u00a0 I express my frustrations and disappointments with not being able to turn myself over to someone and\/or an institution and be fixed. How it was only when I released my grip on this need that I was able to relax and find my own voice and source of empowerment within.<\/p>\n

I think many of us face this challenge when we look at how UC has affected our lives.\u00c2\u00a0 We ask others for guidance, after our\u00c2\u00a0disappointing trial and errors to find a relief from our pains.<\/p>\n

Even as we may learn more about our condition and find ways to manage our health, repeatedly we are left with ourselves for the answers.\u00c2\u00a0 I have learned\u00c2\u00a0that true health; mind, body and spirit\u00c2\u00a0is what I seek and can achieve as\u00c2\u00a0I embrace my own voice\u00c2\u00a0as\u00c2\u00a0my guide.<\/p>\n

As individuals in charge of our bodies we have the freedom\u00c2\u00a0to\u00c2\u00a0incorporate all\u00c2\u00a0the nutrition and exercise methodologies\u00c2\u00a0towards improving our\u00c2\u00a0health.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0When we shift the paradigm through which we use these tools\u00c2\u00a0and take time to center ourselves as part of our healing, a lifelong\u00c2\u00a0commitment to a healthy enriched life can\u00c2\u00a0truly begin.<\/p>\n

I invite you to read my article and share your comments in a blog.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 As mentioned other links to articles I write will be posted under Publications.<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I welcome your reviews.<\/p>\n
