Health care... to me these are two separate words that have been united in society incorrectly. We bunch so much into what we call health care that there is little care in our health programs.

I care for my health each and every day. I do things that support my care and well-being. I meditate, I swim, I write, I work out, I hike, I do therapy, I eat well, I release my emotions, I clear my mind... I care for my health.

To me, this is the most precious gift. It feels wonderful and it lifts me up so that I can participate in this world to my greatest ability. I have often said, “It doesn’t matter how long I live as long as I live fully and graciously.”

It is such a gift to have great genes (not blue jeans) that contribute to terrific health. I feel blessed by the health that I feel each and every day. Back in 1982, I tested my body. After busting it apart, I had the opportunity to put it back together in a way that supports me and the way I choose to live. Not everyone has had a similar opportunity, and I wouldn’t recommend falling off a cliff any time soon, but it has worked for me. Losing my nervous system and feeling again has given me a deeper understanding of care from so many angles.

I do feel health care is a personal responsibility, however, we all need help from another now and then. In my practice, I see and feel many things in people that do not support health, so I do my best to guide them toward it. Health is the greatest gift that we have.... watch worlds crumble without it. To care about it is even greater. It spreads the love and makes us want to be here quite a bit more than dis-ease.

Health care is AWESOME, when we care enough to be healthy. Be well.... Nancy T.
