Nicki and Myra are incredibly gifted dancers and generously give me some credit for keeping them performing at optimum levels, and minimizing the pain that a rigorous dance schedule pummels their bodies with.They are the talent, of course.It’s all them!I’m just happy that they entrust me to provide chiropractic care and nutritional counseling to them.Could you do that with chiropractic care?Some of you could.
I know I couldn’t.If I tried dancing like that I’d be crippled for life.These ladies are dedicated, and practice, practice, practice!Years of training allow them to make these moves look effortless!I’m amazed by their talent.
But even if you and I can’t do that…we can do other things.We all desire to live our lives to the fullest with as little pain as possible, and stay healthy!This can be…achieved!
Myra and Nicki value chiropractic care to improve their health, keep them operating at peak performance, minimize damage to their bodies and just plain stay healthier!In other words, improve longevity in a healthy way.Getting older will happen; the trick is to stay young while doing it.
These two women are incredible dancers…athletes and celebrities in their own world.You may not know them, but you would recognize the names of some major celebrities who also use chiropractic care.Perhaps you’ve heard of these people:Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Lance Armstrong (in his book, Lance gives much credit to his chiropractor for his success), Arnold Schwarzeneeger and a virtual endless list of performers in all genres.
In fact, a past spokeswoman for chiropractic and avid user of chiropractic care since she was a child, is former Ms. Fitness, USA, Sarah Harding.
See one of Sarah's fitness competitions here:
You know that athletes and other celebrities put their pants on the same way you and I do.They’re human.But performers will do whatever it takes to succeed.Many use chiropractic to reach the level of success they desire and keep themselves at the top of their game.What makes them different, perhaps, is that when they encounter a health challenge they handle it immediately.It’s the difference between success and failure, winning and losing.Isn’t it interesting that so many choose to utilize the benefits of a specialist in spinal care…a chiropractor?
I’ve had the great privilege to care for thousands of patients, average people like my own family, medical personnel (medical doctors, nurses, acupuncturists, massage and physical therapists, pharmacists, dentists, surgeons and more), lawyers, clergy, priests, ministers, rabbis, aerospace (NASA) engineers and personnel, four mayors, city council members, government and law enforcement personnel (FBI, police, sheriffs), the young (two days old) to the elderly (you’re never too young, too old, fragile or brittle, but the care is different), postal workers, fire personnel and EMT’s.CEO’s and, yes, even a few downright celebrities and pro athletes.
I don’t know if there’s a person in a profession I haven’t treated.All in all…very regular folk.
Why am I sharing this?No, it’s not to boost my ego.It’s to let you know people are people.We all need help; we all have the right to HEALTH, but health is a choice.Intelligent people choose wisely.
If you haven’t utilized chiropractic care lately to stay healthy, then maybe it’s time to get a check up!
If you live locally and would like to avail yourself of chiropractic care, why not give us a call and…come to the chiropractor you wish you had in your family!
Be the celebrity of your life…be a champion…to yourself and your family!
P.P.S.Don’t be stingy, like one of my patients who refused to let his golf buddies know why his game had dramatically improved.Now he was winning!Tell others about chiropractic care and all the benefits!
Immersing oneself in the pilgrimage experience means abandoning one’s normal life and embracing in totality all that the Blessed Virgin Mary…that God, wishes for that person. Once one says, “Yes” and commits to the journey, they must push themselves…their ego, out of their own way. Hence exposing themselves to the entire richness of the trip from the grand and obvious, to nuances and subtleties that weave together a powerfully fulfilling, rewarding and enduring spiritual experience.
Part of this means continual prayer. Silently…openly…individually…or in groups. Sometimes, casually and other times more formal.
For Catholics, “mass” is the ultimate formal gathering of the body of the church, to praise, worship, confess, speak utter gratitude and receive Christ in their lives. During the journey, we participated in daily masses in various churches and hotels.
Understandably, for many, this can be an overload. But after all, this is what we went for…to find the Blessed Virgin Mary, get closer to God and have a spiritual…a divine encounter.
A significant blessing for our group was having Father Roy Oggero, a Basilian priest, as our spiritual leader. Father Roy, as most people call him, has a beautiful, loving soul coupled with a lively and humorous personality. It’s easy to feel love, warmth and the presence of God when he is in your company.
Masses were celebrated by Father Roy, with the exception of a few, in which he was a con-celebrant with many priests such as in Medjugorje. I’ll share more of that with you later.
The Church of St. Blaise is a magnificent 18th century Baroque church dedicated to the patron Saint and protector of Dubrovnick, the beautiful ancient port city on the Adriatic Sea.
George Bernard Shaw, the famous playwright, described Dubrovnick as, “the pearl of the Adriatic”. Unfortunately, “the pearl” wasn’t glowing the day we visited. It was a rather gloomy day, punctuated with rain storms and yet, it was still magical and beautiful.

Ancient treasures abound inside St. Blaise Church.
This day we brought our own treasure…Father Roy! (Knowing Father Roy as I do, he’ll probably think I’m calling him ancient when he reads this…)
Having video camera in hand, I was able to capture much of our adventure including many of the masses. Father Roy and our group were gracious enough to indulge me as I attempted to record forever our experiences during the Medjugorje pilgrimage.
I invite you to participate in the mass at St. Blaise celebrated by Father Roy Oggero and listen to his insightful sermon. I believe you’ll be captivated by his powerful message delivered in his usual gentle, loving but “cut to the chase” fashion, as he discusses the reason for our lives.
The video is an edited version which does not cover the mass in its entirety (so don’t panic…it’s not an hour long…only about five minutes).
You don’t have to be Catholic to glean some pearls of wisdom from this. I believe it can serve all. If nothing else, you’ll get a glimpse into the Catholic mass, and enjoy the beauty of the Church of St. Blaise.
My continued purpose with the Medjugorje Chronicles and accompanying videos is to expose and enlighten. To help all of us tap into our spiritual being and connect with God.
Well, here's another story out of Mexico from Mom's birthday trip.
If you've ever had pico de gallo at a Mexican restaurant, you know how awesome it can be...or not, depending on the restaurant. Regardless of where I've ever had it, I've never had it made fresh at my table. That is until we ate at Los Zarapes in Mazatlan, Mexico.
Our host, Johnny, made us the best pico de gallo I've ever had in my life! (Remember, I live in Texas where there's a lot of Mexican restaurants!) But what's even better, Johnny taught me how to make it and I have it on video. I'm going to share the video with Johnny's special recipe. Believe me, it will be well worth your while to watch this short video.
Once you make your own pico de gallo, you'll be hooked. And no more buying that garbage so called pico de gallo in the grocery store. I guarantee it. Fresh vegetables always win...and they're healthier too. But you knew that.
Once you make the pico, it's up to you to decide what to do with it. Straight up on a corn chip is great, or mixed into a chili con queso...fantastico! Couple that with a smooooth margarita (frozen or unfrozen, salt or no salt) made with good tequila and even kick it up a notch by adding Presidente brandy. Now it's muy sabroso!
