The Health Queen on Today OCt 2010

life is precious

One of my beautiful young clients, Jess, died yesterday. Bye bye my sweet. Soar with the eagles or swim with the mermaids. I know you will have a party and fun. Jess was only 21 years old. I am so glad to be there at the end.

And tonight as tired as I am, (yes Health Queens get tired despite a cupboard full of lotions and potions), I am also feeling very grateful.

I am so grateful and thankful that my babies are healthy, and have great lungs that they use to bellow at me. And tonight as I am cleaning away the dishes from dinner and making them all a treat (hot milo), I find this card that Maisy has drawn in her school bag.

Sometimes I get disappointed in myself if I yell at the kids. But sometimes, when the 3 of them are chirping away like starved baby birds, it’s the only thing I can do. I retaliate.What I want to say is “where is my nanny?”, “where is another pair of hands”, and daily I ask myself “where is that mai tai by the pool” (joke).

All I try to do for my little clan is to create more good memories than bad and if I can achieve that I will be happy.
