I'm not very adept yet at understanding the blogging world. I did a few a year or two ago and then forgot about them. I am going to get out there again and thought I would republish some of my earlier ones so that someone might pick up on them now. I'm not sure if I'm being needlessly repetitious but oh well. My friend Judy Garrison, who was given six months to live over 30 years ago and is still doing fine, and I wrote a couple of books for people with serious illnesses or injuries. The book, "I Will Live Today," is a book of short affirmations for people to lock in on when they are struggling with illness or really any difficult situation. Much of what is in the book came out of not only what Judy learned from her own situation but what both of us learned by working with people in life threatening situations.
I then took some affirmations from the book as well as a few more I came up with and put some music behind it from Wagner. I have had many people tell me how much it has helped them keep going. It really is a spiritual approach to dealing with life, though as I say on my web site spiritual can mean many things to many people. I have done my best to keep it such that any person's belief system can benefit from this presentation unless he or she only wants to hear one thing only. If that is the case I probably don't have that much in common with you anyways. If you would like to see some thoughts on keeping your spirit alive while coping with serious illness, injury or just very stressful circumstances go to www.youtube.com and then put sctshep in the search box. A bunch of music things I did will come up including the one on dealing with serious illness.
