It Takes Courage
Author Unknown

It takes strength to be firm, it takes courage to be gentle.
It takes strength to conquer, it takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to be certain, it takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength to fit in, it takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain, it takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to endure abuse, it takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone, it takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love, it takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive, it takes courage to live

Free Webinar from The Center for Mind-Body Medicine:

The Wisdom of the Body will be led by CMBM Founder and Executive Director James S. Gordon, MD.

Shamans and other indigenous healers have long known what modern science is rediscovering: our bodies, which are inextricably connected to our minds, have an inherent wisdom which all of us can access. If we pay attention, they’ll tell us why, as well as where we are ill and hurt, and how we can better meet all our life’s challenges – emotional, intellectual, and spiritual, as well as physical.

The webinar is approximately 70 minutes, and can be viewed anytime between 8AM ET and 2PM ET on Friday, May 1 . Click here to register .

Pathways Integrative Health Advisory Committee
Finding Balance is Nature’s Way

In my work I have been privileged to spend the last 40 years listening to people. Most of this time has been spent in an exam or hospital room as a family doctor. Listening to understand, listening to help, listening and learning to find the right path. I have learned that developing respectful and healing relationships sprinkled with love is the richest of experiences. As a member of Pathways’ Integrative Health Advisory Committee, I have come to know that Pathways, too, has spent its life in the work of developing respectful, loving and healing relationships and for that I am grateful.
