PRESIDENT'S CORNER (OCTOBER '16)

Dear Ladies, Friends, and Families,

Are you by any chance stressed? Do you feel bogged down with health issues, feel powerless to effect change, or feel trapped physically and emotionally?

In this October issue, you will find many pointers and insights about staying healthy, such as what brought a Cuban woman who lives in New Jersey to be 102 years young! You'll also discover tidbits of wisdom as to what you can do to recreate your own health and feel more empowered!

And did you know that the digestive system reacts based on how you think before you eat, or how you think before you even prepare the food? So health begins in the mind and in our emotions, as Mr. Bochenikov taught in our WFWP health seminar in the Washington, DC, chapter. Therefore, everyone needs emotional healing, and a "miracle of heart and soul," which can occur in many ways, such as through a Bridge of Peace crossing, or through experiencing art, music, and beauty that uplifts our spirit.

Since this month is also Cancer Awareness Month, we are featuring the stirring story of Dr. Sandra Lowen, a cancer survivor -- how after several battles with cancer she has been cancer free for 15 years!

There can't be lasting peace without a healthy mind and healthy body. As someone mentioned at a recent International Peace Day celebration, "Peace Day is every day!" In the same vein, a "health day" is also every day! And healing is available to make that happen.

And did you also know that you can laugh yourself to better health through "laughter Yoga"? You can check it out at our upcoming 24th National Assembly, November 11-13, in Fairfield New Jersey! Yet, there is more than one reason to attend, I would submit at least 7, to uplift, empower and inspire you and for you to be an inspiration to others. (See "Why attend") Hope to see you there!

Enjoy this beautiful month of October, and here's to your health and well-being and to the health and well-being of your family!

Warmly,

Angelika
