Hello again

Well, I had to take a pause to get Covid out of my system. I’m fine now. Some may wonder about health and wellness coaches contracting any illness. Let me clarify – our physical bodies are susceptible to contagious agents like anyone else’s. We are fully human. In spite of our best efforts and health practices, our physical bodies respond to environmental factors. I had a light case with cold-like symptoms. I stepped up my vitamin supplements to bolster my immune system and gave myself permission to rest and sleep, so my body could heal itself. In nursing, the intention is to provide the best environment for the body to heal itself, and that’s most important when you are your patient. I am grateful for the reminder to demonstrate self-love by dwelling in isolation, allowing others to help me, and strengthening my connection to the healer within. Also, I had the great good fortune to be able to read about a book a day and watch wonderful comedy shows. Laughter is the best medicine!
