How healthy are you?
The American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine (HolisticBoard.org) has been using a fantastic personal health assessment for many years now. It brings together emotional, physical, mental and spiritual health in an easy to use questionnaire.
I have made it available to you, in a printable PDF format, for your personal use and for use with your patients. Good luck on the test! Let's see how you do.
For your listening pleasure
As always, it is my desire to expose you to new and great music. I just purchased the CD called In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2. This is a CD of brand-new covers of classic U2 songs by Grammy Award-winning and up-and-coming African artists including Angelique Kidjo, Les Nubians, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, Vieux Farka Touré, Vusi Mahlasela and the Soweto Gospel Choir. The album was inspired by Bono's direct philanthropic impact via the launch of the ONE campaign and (RED), and his poignant outspoken public commentary on the immediate financial needs facing Africa.
It is fantastic!
