Thomas Edison said: “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Today’s media repeats Edison’s words calling Carolyn Dean the Doctor of the Future.
Cancer Survivor Helps to Eliminate Embarrassment by Helping Other Cancer Patients
Christy Borgeld said “Never giving up and pushing forward will unlock all the potential we are capable of.” And that is exactly what Brenda did. Despite having cancer and undergoing chemo, she pressed forward. She hated and was embarrassed by the treatment gowns and did something about it…she made her own! Now, she makes them for other cancer patients called Hug Wraps.
Brenda Jones felt as if her world had ended when she was diagnosed with breast cancer back in October 2008. Being forced to put on a drab, generic, embarrassing traditional hospital gown every time she went in for treatment only made the experience worse. So with a flash of inspiration — and a crash-course in sewing — she decided to do something about it. Much to her surprise, the kimono-style wrap she designed to give herself some dignity in the waiting room started garnering requests from other patients. Today? She’s not only recovered, but she can hardly keep up with the demand for her homemade Hug Wraps from cancer patients all over the world.

Celebrating Life After Forty
Posted by: | Comments
By Randi Fine
In preparation for an inspiring interview last night with Anna Banks on her radio show “Living Fully After 40,” I reflected on the highlights of middle age. I discovered, while mentally unearthing the positive side of aging, that there are many benefits to this inevitable change of life. Those revelations did not take me by surprise. Personally, I think this is the best time of life. As far as I’m concerned, my life has just begun.
At 52 I’m living my dream life. I’m not talking about a material dream life; all I ever wanted was stability, serenity, and love. I now have all those things. The foundation of my life could not be any stronger. Though I strive for personal achievements, I’m not looking to those things for happiness. They will be icing on the cake.
