It can look almost identical on the surface. But if you were to take a magnify glass and zoom in on the individual moments of your day, you may be surprised by what you find. Within those 24 hours, there are mini lessons, opportunities to choose differently and open doors toward self-growth. The problem is we’re usually too busy to notice them. Take today, for example. There was the lady who blatantly and unashamedly pushed me out of the grocery line. I could have chosen to say something. But I didn’t. I was also late for an appointment. I could have carried the guilt I felt throughout the rest of my day. But I didn’t do that either. And there was that darn migraine. The headache that I’ve had since high school-the type that makes...

Though his later years (the only ones in which I knew him) took away his ability to do most things, and though he was in great pain every day, it was easy to see the mischief in his eyes. The subtle humor was still there, coming out of a man who was weak, in pain, dying. She lived for him. She was always telling me of his pain, frustrated with the fact that he didn’t tell me enough. She was anxious about each complaint of his, wondering if this was the one that would take him away from her. Many of her problems were driven by this anxiety and fears, and she spent many hours in my office giving witness to them through her tears. As his health failed, I wondered about her future. He was the center of her life, the source of her energy, joy, purpose. How could she manag...

Caring for hiccups of the heart, like atrial fibrillation for example, often throws me in front of the mirror, of middle age that is, and sadly the reflections show imperfections. Since I am middle aged myself, there are my own experiences. But everyday at work, on my job site, I see the effects of these same middle-age experiences on the atrium of my patients. The results are often profound. So must be the pressures. I read a passage in the wee hours of the quiet morning, in the dark, with a flickering book light. It grabbed me. It is from Elisabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, Olive Kitteridge. (more…) *This blog post was...

Because her gardener had worked so hard in creating a beautiful royal garden, the queen also invited him to join them. Everyone showed up in finery and jewels while the gardener who wore his best was obviously ill dressed for the occasion. As they sat down at the table a tiny bowl with warm water and a slice of lemon was placed beside each plate. With calloused and dirt stained hands the gardener immediately grasped the bowl and started to drink from it. Everyone gasped and a few snickered when they realized that he had drank from the finger bowl provided to wash their hands between courses. The queen in order to cover the embarrassment of the gardener also picked up her bowl with both hands and d...

Do you get nervous, feel unsettled or anxious about change? Would you prefer that things just stay the same? Well you are not alone. Millions of people feel the same way you do. Why is Change so Difficult to Embrace? Change often stirs up feelings of uncertainty, doubt, fear and trepidation. Emotions most of us don’t like to experience very much. Change can be scary as it often means you have to step outside your comfort zone. People Love Sameness Most people prefer sameness, routine, certainty and familiarity. Just think about organizations like McDonalds and Starbucks. Why are they so popular? What makes them so attractive? It’s not their burgers or their coffees, it’s because they offer ...

I’m usually a pretty laid-back individual when it comes to shopping in my free time. However, shopping during the holidays is my worst nightmare. I get nervous about shopping with hordes of people and I am over-stimulated and distracted with all the shiny, brightly-lit everything. Staring too long at the Christmas lights puts me into a Holiday coma. If I manage to tare myself away from the decorations, I realize I’ve completely lost track of my list and the purpose of the shopping trip. On a few occasions, I’ve shopped for a couple of hours, only to find that standing in long lines with screaming children is more than I can take. I end up leaving all my items there and walking out of the store. Many times I’ve had to suppress the urge to run screaming fro...

Komen walk in Central Park. She didn't like the over-sized, over-advertised shirts passed out to the masses, so she designed her own. Notice the songbird stripe on the right side of the shirt? This seamstress renovated the piece to create visual balance for women who have lost a breast and wish to forgo mastectomy and prostheses.Jacqueline, who has named her clothing line Rhea Belle, had a right-side mastectomy in January 2004. She knew she would leave her body as is, but her existing wardrobe didn't "fit" her new shape. When she realized she could either accept her changed architecture or camouflage it, she ch...
