#BrightSquare Day 25 I have been sharing squares daily this month, and would love it if you did the same as we enter the final week.

#WQWWC #25: Healing

Over the past few weeks we’ve explored health, diet, exercise. But our bodies often fall prey to illness and disease anyway or because we’ve ignored basic healthy principles. This week I invite you to join me as we consider healing. There is hope after illness, after the breakup of a marriage or relationship, after the death of a loved one, in the wake of financial crises, or even during…

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same,…
