The economy has every one on edge. There is no doubt that many people are suffering and in emotional and financial pain. When this happens, we have choices. We can either curl up in a ball and hope things get better, or we can find opportunity. My father always said that things are darkest before the dawn. Although many of us may not be able to afford expensive holiday presents for our family and we may have to cancel ambitious holiday travel plans, we can do some very important things that don't really cost extra money. What am I talking about? I am talking about attending to your health and healing by eating and planning healthy meals and getting out to exercise. Explore the beautiful areas of nature that we have right here where we live. Attend to your spirit by loving and giving of yourself. If you want to get technical about it, you can go on line and give to the World Wild Life association, or go to kiva.org. With a small contribution you can give a woman in a third world country enough money to start a business. Happiness and fulfillment do not need to come with a high price tag. Be open to possibilities and heal your body and your soul!
