Recently I brought my sister out to Colorado (she lives in Pennsylvania) for a "sister healing" week. She and I are soul-sisters and we had both been in a funk this summer. She is a spiritual guide and I really felt I needed some personal spiritual counseling. I felt I was loosing my way. (You may have noticed that I haven't been writing a whole lot lately). During her stay, my husband and I introduced her to rock climbing, a sport we both love. The metaphors for life in rock climbing are abundant and I have touched briefly on these in my articles, Body Balance and Intuitive Movement. My sister, however compares rock climbing to clinging to our illusions and how so much of our lives involve "the illusion that I'm in control of everything." Read her fabulous story by clicking below.

It is one of the ways I stay in touch with myself and the 'real world.' Throughout my pages, I have posted pictures of the peaks I have climbed and the wildflowers along the way. I love this time of year! Summer climbing season got off to a late start here in Colorado. The mountains received a late heavy snow pack, making climbing the high peaks, even now, in July 2011, loaded with snow! The centennial peaks of Colorado are the highest 100 peaks in the state. These peaks are all above 13,500 feet or about 4200 meters. When my husband and I completed Clinton Peak on July 2nd, 2011 we bagged our 85th centennial peak! Click here to see my lovely photos of the climb on Facebook: Clinton Peak Album. Our goal is to reach all 100 peaks over the next several years. It takes awhile for us, since we are not real mountaineers, and usually wait for most of the snow to melt. This climbing season is only 2-3 months long, depending on the weather. Jump over to the link on Facebook (bottom) and go to the discussion area, and offer me some words of encouragement. I really need it! I am 52 and it seems the mountains get a little farther away each year! Especially when there is so much snow! It took us a full eight hours to make this climb, mostly because of the added difficulty with the snow. Please "like" my album/page when you view it so I can get all the encouragement I need from others! Better yet, Contact Me if you are in Colorado or planning a trip to Colorado, and let's climb together!

I am very pleased to offer a new service type to my online, holistic health practitioner consultative services. You can now access me by telephone or Skype! The beauty of this addition is that now you can even mix and match service types. If you want to have your initial, free consultation face-to-face with me, via Skype, to get to know me you can. But since my face-to-face appointments are more expensive, you can switch to e-mail consultations after your initial free live one to economize! Or, you may wish to do it in reverse, if you think you would benefit more by live sessions with me. I will always prorate your purchase to give you your full purchase benefit. And the best of all, is that NONE of my on-line services will cost you a dime in gas money! So, save money and go ahead and try me out!

Normally I don't refer my readers directly to other articles. I save the best for my newsletter, Body Moments, updates. However, this article is so fabulous, that I wanted to ensure that all would read it. It will take only a few minutes to read, and contains such great insight into what is going on in the world regarding the relationship between traditional and alternative medicine. The author, the world-renowned Deepak Chopra mirrors my own view that I discuss in my article, Integrative Healthcare. I wrote this article almost two years ago, and never could it be more relevant. The lesson? The power for health and healing is in your own hands! Not in the hands of healers. Read this article and learn why it is time for you to take back control of your own health!
