Welcome to My Wise Wellness Woman Blog

Welcome.

You found your way here because you're searching for an answer, and you wonder if this is a place you can trust.

Why, you say, should I listen to you, Wise Wellness Woman*, when there's so much out there?

I know stuff. Stuff that might help you live longer with greater health, abundance, and joy. I've surrounded myself for nearly fifty years (I'll give the first ten to basics) with smart people whose lives have been models for us all and books by other smart people on so many subjects. I took to heart the idea of life-long learning, and I'm a forever student. I was a teacher by default long before I became one by training. It's my passion and my purpose.

But, you say, we know stuff, too.

I bet you do. Know stuff. We all do. Then we ask ourselves...How much stuff that we know is true? How much matters? How much do you know that has made your life healthier, happier, and more abundant?

I'd been a classroom teacher for years, and my students know lots of stuff (teens know more than most adults will ever hope to learn...at least that's what they tell us). But they didn't know what I had to teach them about their lives. Which means their parents didn't, either.

"Where do you get all of this stuff, Mrs. M.?" they'd ask with disdain, then amazement, awe, and for some, thankfulness and resolution.

"I pay attention," I'd respond. "And I read."

That did it. Read? When they didn't have to? Do you? (Students mostly don't even read when they have to. Ask them. Why do you think so many high school students admit to cheating on tests?)

So I read for them. And I taught them things that affect their lives every day.

Ordinary things that affect YOUR life everyday. And the lives of your CHILDREN.

Things that mean you could choose HEALTH over illness; FRIENDSHIP over dispute; and financial ABUNDANCE doing what you love instead of the struggle that's what you've been taught is the only way. You could choose to be full of JOY in every moment, in every situation.

My students thought I was nuts. But eventually they came to realize that they have a choice: to keep doing what they're doing or wake up to their own genius, that they can make SIMPLE changes in their thinking and being that can lead them to live their DREAMS.

So what is this stuff you need to know but maybe don't? Stuff that's not the newspaper headlines or the top stories on the nightly news or even mentioned in the 24-hour cable news cycle?

Stuff that if you knew, you, too, could have good HEALTH, joyful RELATIONSHIPS, and financial ABUNDANCE?

Despite the headlines? The health crisis? The economy?

With SIMPLE changes?

So what do I know? How about?

• disease is almost entirely preventable
• most of the food in our grocery stores is not fit to eat
• pharmaceutical drugs kill more people every year than terrorism
• everyday chemicals poison our homes, our water, our bodies
• garden herbs and the right foods treat and reverse illness
• alternative health practitioners are an essential part of a wellness plan
• we can live more simply without sacrificing progress

and, for all of you who thought you couldn't do anything about your current health or wealth, I can show you, as I did my students, that...

• you were, indeed, born a genius
• you have depths of ability you haven't begun to troll
• abundance, good health, and joy are part of your heritage

"Geez," you say. "No wonder your students thought you were nuts."

Yeah, maybe. But these students of mine took from my classroom an understanding that they are truly capable of all that they can envision for their lives...and more. They thanked me as they crossed the graduation stage for their diplomas, as they crossed the bridge to the rest of their lives.

The '60s revolution of love, peace, and equality for all shaped me, as it did so many other boomers. We may have been sleeping for these decades (I haven't seen a love-in for years...at least until Pete Seeger sang at the bash before Obama's inauguration), but we're awake again now, and our "grandmother/father" wisdom is spilling out.

So, I say, what have you got to lose by checking in with me every once in a while. After all, I've done the reading...I may just have the answer you're looking for.

Blessings,

Judy
