I recently had a chronic pain issue in my low back and hips, as many women do.  It made me think about a lot of different things.  I felt such gratitude for friends that offered a hand and such joy that these networks exist.  my planning on the insurance and self care front became invaluable.  Calling on a team of Eastern, Western and Alternative Healing Modalities, I have built a course of recovery that feels so strong for my body and soul.

With these feelings also comes the reminder of the blessing that technology has provided us for healing and connection.  That there are masters of these modalities in my backyard or only a click away make me love my big city life.  I sometimes feel like just a cog in this big machine that is Los Angeles, but in moments of need, the machine gets very small and is so well oiled that I wouldn’t trade it.

Taking moments today to show thankfulness for good planning, great friends and a world full of shared knowledge and wisdom of the ages.
