Nurseholistic

I rode on a glass bottom boat at Silver Springs, a theme park in Florida. Nice experience!

I’m a psychiatric and primary care nurse practitioner. However, my deepest values are spiritual. I would like to love to have an interfaith pastoral counseling practice and help people heal their emotional wounds, develop their spirituality, and discover the meaning of life.

You’ll enjoy the book. Great read!

We planted red sage plants a couple of years ago. They grow like crazy, and make happy little crimson blooms several times a year. Butterflies, honeybees, and hummingbirds are frequent visitors to these flowers.

I highly recommend a product called Opalescense Gel for brightening up your smile. I had good results with it. It is available through dental offices in the US.

Peace,

I love having my own house. Home ownership isn’t as carefree as renting. There is a lot of responsibility involved, but your house is your castle and your vehicle for self-expression. You gotta do it!!!

I’d love to do this also! Sounds peaceful and relaxing.

I’ve been to Arizona a couple of times, but have never seen the Grand Canyon. I think I’d like to walk across the glass bridge that goes over part of the canyon. I can just imagine the breathtaking view!

I would like to make a spiritual pilgrimage to Stonehenge someday.

I need a mantra! Big time!

I’m part Cherokee also. I would like to study my Native American heritage. I enjoy going to Pow Wow gatherings, and I loved visiting Cherokee, North Carolina. I felt an affinity for that place.

I’d like to take a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas, just two or three nights. I’ve never been on a cruise before.

I just turned 50 this year, and it is time to eat a more healthy diet! I’d love to eat more berries, nuts, and seeds. I think blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are delicious. I enjoy walnuts, pecans, peanuts, cashews, and almonds. I really like sunflower seeds. My ideal diet would include some of these three times a week. Every day would be even better!

I have always wanted to wear a tiara and be the “Queen of Everything”, or at the very least, the “Princess of Quite a Lot”! Doesn’t every woman NEED a tiara???

I love kitties! I’ve been a cat person my whole adult life. I’ve always had a cat around, and one cat just leads to another. They are such great companions, and they all have such different personalities. I think they are little people in fur coats. I’d love to do some volunteer work in a shelter for homeless cats. Purr, purr, purr!

When I was a little girl, I loved going to my grandmother’s house back home in Eastern Kentucky. She grew Black-eyed Susans on the hill in her backyard. I loved seeing those golden flowers all over the hillside in the summer. Those memories make me happy to this day. I want to grow those flowers at my house someday!

I have been studying Buddhism for a couple of years. One of the things I’ve learned from Buddhism is the importance of compassion and loving kindness. This is a virtue I that would like to cultivate in my life.

I have always wanted to splurge on a decadent bottle of Dom Perignon champagne! I have missed several good chances such as at our wedding reception, on my 50th birthday this year, when I finished graduate school, and New Years Eve in the year 2000. Whenever I’m tempted to buy it, the price always scares me. Someday I am gonna get brave, pull out my Visa card, and go for it!

A couple of years ago, I attended a Socrates Cafe group on the University of Florida campus, facilitated by Christopher Phillips, the author of the book “Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy”. I was enthralled! I’ve participated in a few Socrates Cafe discussions at our Unitarian Universalist Church since then, and I always enjoy the thought-provoking format that it provides for exploring the ultimate questions about life. I’d like to start a regular monthly Socrates Cafe group in the town where I live.

I’ve been involved briefly with a couple of Qi Gong groups, and I love it! Qi Gong is so gentle and graceful, and the exercises are great for stress relief. I’d like to learn more Qi Gong and do it as a regular exercies and stress management program. I would especially like to practice Qi Gong, perhaps weekly, with a group of like-minded people.
