Celebrate LGBT Health Week; Tomorrow Night is Coach Sappho’s LIVE Podcast!
As I sit here watching America’s Biggest Loser (wow, it’s amazing watching the human transformations happening on this show), I received some important, closely-related info I thought you might want to know about:
Did you know we are smack dab in the middle of the Sixth Annual National LGBT Health Awareness Week? That’s right – April 6th-12th! Before I inundate you with questions or suggestions about what you did to be healthy today (because who needs that ‘stress’), instead I’ll simply suggest you…
- go to the website of the national coalition organization that created this awareness week
- look around the website until you learn something you didn’t know before
Being ready for a great life and great love does require a healthy body, mind and spirit. And there are some issues unique to us as lesbians that many of us haven’t considered. As a coach mentor of mine used to say – ‘the physical universe doesn’t lie’. Yes, we can ignore our bodies, however, if we don’t take time to take as much care of them as we care for our loved ones, our careers, our ‘stuff’ etc., we won’t get nearly the quality or quantity of life we could have. Tomorrow is another day so, consider now what you can do to prepare to take great care of yourself tomorrow! Oh, you could start tonight by getting a good night’s sleep! That means, for most of us, at least six hours of shut eye…so, put that book or remote down, turn off that computer and jump into bed. Ahhh….doesn’t that feel nice?

Excellent advice Barb! May I add some thoughts! I recently wrote a blog about health. Folks think just cos they have full plates they are healthy. They don’t consider the quality of their food. A diet of mostly processed food is a direct and unforgiving path to illness…..
Dr Dean Ornish recently offered a stunning revelation in a short video. You can access it thru my last blog post at

We all have a choice. Think about the quality of the food you eat or think about illness. I’ve been there and done that…. (illness) … I don’t want to do it again…… and I don’t want you to either.
To Your Health,
Pam
