Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, 29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944, a French writer and aviator was best known for his novel, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) and aviation adventures. He wrote from his heart. One of my favorite quotes is: And now, here is my secret, a very simple secret: Ce n'est qu'au coeur que l'un peut voir correctement. (It’s only at the heart that one can see rightly). L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. (What is essential is invisible to the eye.).

Ponder his poignant statement. It’s only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye. Think about that. Our heart has eyes and our heart has hands.

Right now make a decision that you will put your heart in the place you see from for the rest of the day. Right now, pause and let your heart show you how wonderful it is to be alive, how blessed you are to have a breath of life, how blessed you are to be able to choose what you pay attention to.

When you see someone with your heart you see a whole and perfect person, as someone who is doing their best, therefore you feel kindness, compassion, appreciation and reverence. To be kind, and compassionate with appreciation and reverence you need to get out of your head and into your heart where feelings reside. You need to see everything from your heart. “The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of.” – Charles H. Perkhurst

What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that you can see rightly, so see from the heart today and make it a great day.

Better Bones for Life
By Dr. Alisa Cooper, D.C., C.C.N

 

Osteoporosis is a common and potentially debilitating disorder. It can cause painful compression fractures of the spine leading to stooped posture as well as severe hip fractures that can rob you of your mobility and independence. Osteoporosis costs us mentally, physically and financially; not only as individuals, but as a nation too, upwards of 18 billion per year, or $40,000 per hip fracture. Clearly steps must be taken to prevent and treat this disease, preferably in as natural a manner as possible.

 

A couple of little known facts demonstrate the complexity of our bones. First, our bones are not dry and stagnant structures. They are alive, dynamic and metabolically active. Additionally, certain bone cells are derived from the same lineage as the white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. That makes osteoporosis, in part, an immune system disorder, and what affects your immune system will ultimately affect your bones.  That is why it is vital for you to make the effort to stay as healthy as possible throughout your life.

 

Just like everything else in the body, bone health is a matter of balance: the intricate balance between two different bone cell types: those that form new bone and those that break it down. This constant remodeling of bone is what keeps it healthy and strong. Just as debris must be cleared away from a construction site, old, damaged bone cells must be removed to make room for new ones. When the immune system malfunctions, we end up breaking down more bone than we should, and that leads to osteoporosis.
