Bernie Siegel advocates being like your pets – enjoying life and living in the moment. Last week I spoke to Bernie Siegel, MD, best-selling author of the classic book, Love, Medicine and Miracles; and most recently, A Book of Miracles—Inspiring True Stories of Healing, Gratitude, and Love. Bernie is incredible; he’s a cross between a wise [...]
Yesterday, I had an amazing phone interview with Bernie Siegel, MD, best-selling author and pioneer of body-mind-spirit philosophies. I’ll share the interview next week, but here’s a little tease. I met Bernie years ago when he came to a conference my company was hosting, and I was the PR representative who had the great privilege of [...]
Not to scare all of you with the title, but for me, this was indeed a scary day. I was heading out the door, all dressed up and ready to go to a networking function, when I received a call from my doctor at the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment. He told me, with [...]
I read a heartbreaking post from a fellow blogger, whose health and finances have been drained by cancer treatments. At a time when her focus needs to be on healing, she is struggling to make ends meet. Unable to help her boyfriend keep up mortgage payments, she had to move from her beautiful home to [...]
From time to time, people approach me with topics that I feel will interest you. While I had a lumpectomy and did not need implants, I have so many friends who have undergone breast reconstruction and have had resulting complications. The following is a guest post on this topic from Charlie Shavargo, LCSW, a social [...]
As usual, the media is always looking for story “hooks” for the holidays. Holiday stress is one of them. I was watching the TV show, The Doctors, yesterday, and one of their topics was how stress breaks down the body’s immune system. They didn’t mention cancer, but you can connect the dots. We all have [...]
I was out shopping for the holidays and came across an item that claims to make spots disappear. I admit, the claim is appealing to me. Since I’ve been on Xeloda, I’ve noticed even more age spots on my face. Heck, I’m only 48! I asked the nice lady at the counter about parabens, and she [...]
Bob Kiesendahl and some little athletes at one of his BK Hope Cures fundraisers. Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was great. Actually we celebrated “Thanksmas,” both Thanksgiving and Christmas, with my husband’s family. It was a great time of togetherness, loads of presents and too much yummy food. I threw in the [...]
This has been a tough year when it comes to loss. I just found out today that yet another wonderful friend, Cyndi Wenck, passed away from breast cancer. In September, I lost another dear friend Ashley. In July, Evan Mattingly (who was featured in my book) died. In December, it was my close friend Nevine. And [...]
I remember the professor discussing the Milgram Authority Experient in a college psychology class. My professor happened to be Milgram’s brother; he told us about how in the 1960s his sibling developed a study to try to gain an understanding how the Holocaust could have happened. The study’s investigator, a man in a white coat, [...]
