Freedom From Illness—Optimum Choices
Book Review:Finding Traction: Recapture Your Drive at Work by Sherry Ray
I first want to introduce you to a very
special person,
Sherry Ray. Sherry was my very first business coach when we
started Optimum Choices (2002). I needed to make the transition from a 20+ year
corporate
Sherry was the proud pet parent of two Finding Traction: Recapture Your Drive at Work is for anyone who is stuck, whether an employee, manager or business owner. Sherry's cites incredible statistics that show:
Are you in one of the statistics above? Sherry uses her passion and challenges in race car driving as an analogy in how to overcome many work-related lessons. To show that her techniques work not just for her, she gives her own clients' success stories as proof. I can relate to many of her clients' cases as I have experienced the very same lessons in my journey towards becoming a successful Internet entrepreneur and "wholistic" wellness coach. One of my often used excuses in my coaching sessions with her was, "I cannot do that, that is not normal." Sherry's reply was always, "What is normal?" Sherry made me define a "new" normal for myself that was more confident, risk-taking, adventurous, visionary and passionate about taking humanity to the next level in "wholistic" wellness. Unlike the old school business coaches that try to fit you into their standard boxes (labels or categories) Sherry embraces your talents, individuality and diversity to turn your passion into a new career. Whatever your blocks are, Sherry will help you uncover and then overcome them. Even the hidden blocks will not escape her scrutiny. Sherry will not let you get away with the old victim attitude (the economy is bad, I am too old to go back to school, who is going to hire someone my age, etc.) if you really want to succeed and become unstuck (gain traction). The new economy requires new thinking and finding your authentic self and Sherry will help you do both. For an excellent holiday gift for someone who is stuck in their job or career, including yourself, why not order Finding Traction: Recapture Your Drive at Work now.

symptoms
indicated something seriously wrong with him. She had been dismissed by
multiple doctors at multiple hospitals and appeared to be an overly
neurotic mother. However, Dr. Meredith Grey, a mother herself, believed
the mother and eventually tracked down what was wrong. It turned out the
mother was right—there was something seriously wrong with her child that
was caught just in the nick of time, before it killed him. This story
illustrates that parents know their children best and can often tell
when something is seriously wrong, even if the doctors do not believe
them.
recognize when something is wrong just from your pet’s behavior. We
recently experienced this with our cat, Iris. She had been very ill with
acute pancreatitis in August, but was doing better and eating again,
though her feeding tube had not yet been removed. Then her eating fell
off some and she became more lethargic. She was acting just like she did
when she had an abscess 2 years ago from our cat, Julius, attacking her.
Her feeding tube had come loose and was sliding in and out. When we
looked at it, we saw discharge and, together with her behavior,
concluded she must have an infection there. We took her to the vet, who
removed the tube, but said there was no sign of an infection. So she did
not prescribe antibiotics. In the vet's defense, she did not want to
give Iris antibiotics unnecessarily as it might cause nausea which would
hinder Iris’ recovery from a severe digestive illness.
days. The vet thought Iris was fine
since she was eating better. However, Iris was not fine. The next
day, her eating fell off again and late that night her neck swelled up
with a big abscess near where the tube had been. The next morning, the
abscess burst, draining pus and blood. Being a weekend, we had to go to
the emergency vet clinic, to get the abscess cleaned and antibiotics.
Iris immediately started to eat better after getting antibiotics, just
like her previous abscess. So, it turned out our instincts were right,
despite what the vet (a highly trained internist) concluded. The moral
of this story is to trust your instincts about your pet, despite what
any expert tells you. Fortunately Iris made a full recovery from the
abscess and is continuing to improve from the pancreatitis.
choose
whether to follow your instincts about what is right for your pet or do
what the vet tells you to do. Not all vets are open to holistic care or
raw diets. Even a holistically-oriented vet may be against those
holistic products or treatments they are not personally familiar with.
We would not suggest going against your vet’s advice, since they have
professional medical knowledge that you lack. You should always take
their advice seriously. However, your vet is a partner in your pet’s
health, not the ultimate authority. As your pet’s parent, you have the
right to make the final decision on how to treat your pet.
for
dogs or cats, so it makes sense to investigate them. For example, alpha
lipoic acid, a supplement used by people, is toxic for cats. Also, herbs
or isolated supplements can have actions similar to drugs, or interfere
with drug therapy. Whole food products are generally safer than herbs or
isolated supplements. While herbs or supplements can cause side effects
or interfere with medications, whole food products do not. Obviously,
avoid toxic foods to dogs and cats, such as onions, chocolate, etc. but
if the food is safe for
animals, such as algae, fish or rice, then supplementing with it is
probably not going to pose a danger to your pet or interfere with
medications. Single ingredients extracted from food, such as fish oil,
can cause problems (such as thinning of the blood), or glucosamine
(raising blood sugar). Vets are aware of possible problems like that,
which is probably why they tend to reject all products they are not
familiar with, including whole food products. We would encourage you to
do your own research on the holistic treatments and products you want to
give your pet, and then as a responsible pet parent, make an informed
decision on what is best for your pet. You are the ultimate authority
for your furry child.

life span of a Golden these days is 7-8 years. As her Goldens became

best quality of life possible. We, of course, told her we give a
