Musings on the Eve of 49

Ancient numerology was based on denominations of 10. This theorum is still used today. But the number 9 was very special because it represented the completion of a cycle. 9 is the number that preceeds a new beginning, a new decade. It's a 'wrap up'. The number 4 traditionally represented the culmination of self (1) duality (2), the trinity (3) in the real world (4). The earth has 4 corners, the square is an equal and harmonized form containing equal sides and equal angles. The number 49 represents the 'wrap up' of the solid and formidable 40's. 49 is the last year before embarking into 50 (5 being the number of uncertainty and the number that represents man..head and limbs). No wonder everyone makes their stake in their 40's and has a midlife crisis when they hit 50...it's only natural.  Hence, as I turn 49 tomorrow I think back on all the sinful fun I've had in my life thus far...how to top all the unbelievable events I've experienced until now?? Well, I've decided to make a list of what I'd like to accomplish during my last year of my 40's:  learn Italian, no whining, have more patience, be a better golfer, keep hitting heavy bags, get a makeover, become stronger and leaner, learn how to ride a motorcycle (don't tell my mother!), be a better physician, a better friend, learn how to decorate cakes, take my bestest human friend back to France to see my beloved Provence, do more yoga.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Whatever you've done and no matter who you are, there's always more. Make a list today and each day, try out a new idea or activity. See where it takes you. The unknown is exciting - go out on a limb. Embrace change and have the courage to tread unknown waters. Don't whine - it's boring.  Just think of all the fun you haven't even thought of having until this point!!  Tomorrow, I'm taking the day off.  Don't know what I going to do or where I'm going, but I'm going to do it with my bestest friend...I know we'll have fun! By the way...anybody got a creme for this turkey neck I seem to be getting the past 2 years??????!!!!

Improve Your Golf Game!

I'm just so excited!!!  Just the other day, I was given a gift of my very own driver and 3 wood.  Now, that might not sound like a big deal to most of you out there but if you were a left-handed female golfer, you'd know what I mean.  This is a right-handed world and it took great effort for my honey bunny to find these clubs for me.  I might not have a great swing or a fab game going on just yet, but at least I know how to prevent golfer's elbow and soft tissue damage while participating in the activity of golf.   So, today...this blog is for all you golfers out there who could improve their game significantly if you incorporated acupuncture into your lives!
The Treatment of Soft Tissue Damage with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Golf is a sport of repetitive motion, concentration and precision. Pain or limited range of motion can be detrimental to one’s game. The golfers I treat in my practice typically present with muscle strains, spasms, limited range of motion in the upper torso and lower back, and usually experience chronic pain. Lateral and medial malleolus tendonitis (golfer’s elbow), rotator cuff tears, iliopsoas pain, tight IT bands, and wrist pain are just a few of the most common ailments.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Traditional Chinese Medicine can be quite effective to prevent injury while training and resolve acute and chronic conditions.   Hey....watch out, here I come onto the course with my own clubs!!  FOUR!!!!!!!!!  How about that hat???  :))))
