Smile Learning to healf Self

That's right Lanulla. It is about learning to heal yourself - finding out what works for you!

It is an ongoing process. What worked at age 20 to snap me out of depression might not necessarily work at age 40. My body has moved on and I need to try new ways or perhaps just fine-tune the old ones.

I was recently in the privileged position of watching close-up the struggles of a 90 year old. He's still fighting but the vulnerability brought on by his weakened body only goes to show the strength of his spirit to overcome. It is truly heartening to see a man wishing he were dead (in fact praying to be released) begin to look forward to enjoying what he has left of it and being thankful for it knowing that the struggles may get harder.

Take loving, gentle but courageous care,
