The Wellness Toolbox: Tool #1 – CUDDLES!
My life changed a couple decades ago, after I stopped running around trying to get an exact diagnosis for the debilitating chronic pain I was experiencing, and instead, started looking at how to amplify wellness in my life. Eventually, this approach became the cornerstone of the Dancing with Pain® method I developed, and additionally became the foundation of my approach to healing naturally from cancer.

Most notably, we lost an all-expenses-paid university gig, replete with a car service sent to pick us up at the airport and take us to our swanky lodgings at the Marriott. I had painstakingly lined up those gigs, along with media coverage locally, nationally and internationally, to help propel forward my band, Iraqis in Pajamas; and I was counting on the exposure to take us to the next […]
My Non-Recipe Recipes for Whole Foods Plant Based Dishes

I don’t actually do “recipes” per se – i just more or less chop, slice, and throw into a pot or bowl. But I have included a list of ingredients below, to get you started. For guidance on how to make your own artistic masterpieces out of these dishes, see my previous post on how to make a whole foods, plant-based diet work for you! All these ingredients are fresh, unless it’s indicated that they are spices.
