Today my house feels very empty.  🙁   And although the summer heat lingers, summer vacation is over.  For the past month, I’ve been fortunate enough to have the company of my east coast family.  My cousins and my grandmother added so much love and energy to my home over the past month that it now feels strange for them to be gone.  My family brought so much joy in the time that they were here.  There is something about being around the people that love you that is so good for the mind, body and spirit.

What has become crystal clear to me is that the physical healing of my body is very much tied into the proper mental stimulation and spiritual healing.

Grandma, Dawn, Robin, Destajia, Monica, Bronson, Raymond, Jewel, Mara, Ruben, Kevin, Ralph…..  You guys mean the world to me and I am so glad that we all had the opportunity to spend time together this summer.

NR:  Over the past several weeks, I’ve experienced progress in very small doses.  I’ve gained strength in my core which is allowing me to stand and better maintain my balance.  I’m also experiencing progress with the range of motion in my ankles and hips.  But more importantly, I’m experiencing a healing of my “mind-set” and by that I mean that I’m feeling courageous again.  I’m feeling less like a victim and more like a conqueror!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL MY BLESSINGS FLOW!!!!!!
