How to explain life to a table
Hello table - so how are you today? I think that the thought of explaining life to a table could be complicated. Yet the table cannot talk back so perhaps it will be easier than thought. I mean what does a table do anyway? It sits in the same place day after day. Sometimes people put things on it - or if it is having a bad day they may spill something on it ruining it's beautiful exterior. The table was born from a tree where it lived in the fresh air and felt the soft rain as well as the warmth of the sun. Now it has been formed into a table and cannot hear the birds or sway in the wind. How would I feel if someone took away the ability to feel nature from me? Not good I can tell you that. So is my table lonely? What about the furnature surrounding the table. Does the table feel inferior to the couch that gets a lot more attention? Perhaps it feels less attractive than the big dinner table that is newer and shinier. Does it hate it's water spots? Does it feel like everyone stares at it's chips and dings? The funny thing is that these are the things I love about my table - yet I resent my chips and dings. Perhaps my table likes those things about me. So if I could talk to me table (and it would hear me and talk back) I would tell it how beautiful it is and how much I appreciate it. I would let it know how much it means to me and my family and that I will make sure to open the window more often so it can feel the breeze and hear the birds again. I have a feeling my table would say the same thing back to me.
Welcome to Spirit Serenity
I am so happy to see you here. Spirit Serenity has been a dream of mine for the past few years. My husband passed away in June of 2006 and I found myself falling apart - physically and emotionally. I was passed from doctor to doctor and put on various medications. I went through test after test and finally said STOP !! These things have to be related. I found that convential doctors just looked at me like I was crazy (I think they thought I was) and were just treating each symptom...not the whole me. I found a integrative doctor that my insurance would cover and that was when things changed. This doctor took an entire hour to go over my life and finally reached over and said "Kathy - you have been through a lot." I sat there and looked at him and started crying. Finally someone realized that - including me. I had never looked at it that way before. I started some suppliments, had a hormone panel done and found out I had PTSD. With some natural suppliments, diet changes and yoga I found myself feeling better than I had in a long time. NOTE - NO MEDICATION. I decided that many of my friends were experiencing the same types of things because we were at the menopausal age and they were being treated much as I had been. This inspired me to go back to school and learn how to offer alternative therapies to them. This is the start of something wonderful !!!
