Continuing our Wellness Journey - Intimacy
This week our journey focuses on the power of Intimacy, the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. In our modern culture, the word "intimate" has informally become synonymous with sexual intercourse. What we mean here is more in line with the dictionary definition, relating to your deepest and private nature or a close, long-term association with another person. This can be a sexual, sensual, or platonic relationship. Learning to effectively deal with conflict, respect and assert boundaries, and to connect responsibly is essential to building the trust that is essential in intimacy. Studies have shown that intimacy is a major component in one's health and happiness View more

Patient Advocacy in Hospitals - "Advocacy Resources - Help is Available" - Jari Holland Buck
Most of us enter the world of hospital-based advocacy as a "beginner. We lack either the technical knowledge because we are not trained in medicine; or the personal knowledge because we have never been an advocate and/or patient before. For hospital personnel, we may be operating on the "other side" for the first time in our lives and lack the authority and perhaps the detachment to effectively "make medical things happen."

As Diane MacEachern argues in Big Green Purse, the best way to fight the industries that pollute the planet, thereby changing the marketplace forever, is to mobilize the most powerful consumer force in the world-women. MacEachern's message is simple but revolutionary. If women harness the "power of their purse" and intentionally shift their spending money to commodities that have the greatest environmental benefit, they can create a cleaner, greener world.
