Month: October 2016

EXCITING NEWS! I was invited to be one of the presenters at the next Limitless Health Intensive event! (Nov 4&5). I will present my message Your Journey of You = J O Y.
Here’s how it happened…
Our first Gladiator Retreat was in Sundance, Utah. The mountains are spectacular, the cabin reminded me of the B&B where Herbert & Annie Nagamatsu had their wedding reception. Amazing weekend.
And for me, it was the FIRST time I presented my story,                 JOURNEY OF YOU = J-O-Y in public. I acted out my journey with costumes and props, and words and even sang a song… “That’s a Fine Kind of Freedom.” My dear friends, the Gladiators, held a safe and loving space, as I acted out my road to Joy by putting on and taking off layers of clothing representing emotions and beliefs. As I had hoped, it was powerful… since it is not just MY journey of joy, but because it is YOUR journey too… It is everyone’s journey through life. No shortcuts. We all walk through sorrow, pain & love to get to joy and freedom.
Well, I’m late for choir practice so I better go. Will post pictures later. Love you all SO much!
Oh yes! The Limitless Health Intensive is a two-day event. Friday & Sat, Nov 4 & 5 in Provo Utah, at Provo Marriott. I can get you $30 tickets (admits you & guest). Regular price $499. Powerful presenters share how you can get Un-stuck in your health – body & mind. I am proof it is never too late! If you want $30 tickets, PM or text me. Or CALL 801-691-0375 and give them my name. Hope you can come! If not, send me your love and support! I will feel it.

I began this epic journey on 7/29/16, to improve my health.
BEFORE Gladiators: At 64, I was healthy “for my age.” Translation: I was living with osteoporosis, severe spinal curvature, pelvic prolapse, and joking about old age. I lived in fear of breaking another bone, injuring my body and “making things worse.” I gave up running, jumping, dancing, lifting. I was “making the best of it” until old age overpowered me.

WHY: To get my life back. To do that, I had to change my MIND and beliefs. What I believe is possible. Who I Am. What stops me.
WHAT I DISCOVERED: This journey is BIGGER than health. It’s about being ME. And coming out of hiding. I stopped trying to Match Everybody Else, and started to be the Real Me.
Woo hoo! I haven’t felt this free and open since freshman week at Boston U with Linda F Katz!
BUT THIS TIME, I’m not scared, seeking to “figure out the Rules” to “play the game” and MAKE IT… I already made it! Not trying to control everything so I can survive… Hey, look! I survived!

I got serious. I made goals. I enlisted a Dream Team of medical experts and I am at the center, making the choices and doing the work of physical therapy and healing through dance. But the heart of it is Limitless Belief Breakthrough – facing every fear and doubt I can flush out of hiding. Increasing my Faith in my God who IS the Healer. He taught me that the Journey of You brings J-O-Y.

WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR? In 10 weeks, I already reached my goal of reversing pelvic prolapse symptoms, and moved the angle of my hips 8 degrees, to LEVEL. My spinal curvature angle has improved 20 degrees! I am ON MY WAY with flexibility of motion and increasing muscles. I NEED muscles to dance pirouette turns in ballet, a new love! Brian converted half our living/dining room into a dance floor! And we rediscovered our love of ballroom dancing, which is how we met, 40 years ago.

Best of all – I took down my invisible wall, and have a whole new relationship with people! Especially with Herbert Nagamatsu and Annie Marie Nagamatsu. You see, they never met the Real Me before! That person has been in hiding since I was about 2 years old. And bonus… I remembered I’m ITALIAN and I LOVE it! I’m LOUD! I’m FUNNY! I talk with my hands! It’s Time to PARTY!

SO – since my original 6 month goals have been met and exceeded in 10 weeks. It’s time to invent NEW Goals! Here are my NEXT 90 day goals.
1. Spread J-O-Y… Start teaching the Journey of YOU to anyone who will listen. Minimum 5 people.
2. Master technology of social media and spread J-O-Y with a blog, website or whatever it takes. Post 5 YouTube videos of J-O-Y principles.
3. BANISH 2,000 fears and/or beliefs that have stopped me in the past.
4. DANCE pirouette turns in ballet, & pivot turns with Brian.
5. Plan FUN RV TRIP with Brian to Harmony, PA, Hopewell Indian Mounds, & Amazing Places TBD.
6. Invent a SUPER HERO identity and humble alter ego complete with costumes!
7. EAT FOOD I LOVE! Healthy AND delicious! With spices & aromas of Good Stuff like Mom used to make. Without guilt or shame, and being totally healthy.

Who would I have to BE to make this happen? Well, only the Real ME could do all that in 90 days.
