The whole idea is to be healthy in body,  mind and spirit..

Hi,  my name is Kathy. There are already a number of websites and blogs about health, but this one is unique in that I focus on the importance of health and lifestyle as they relate to our spirituality, our ability to live up to our full potential, to use our gifts to serve others and to be creative.  In all of my research on health and spiriuality I have come up with very little about how physical health affects our spiritual "health".  Most books I have read leave out the care of the body and how it relates to our spirititual well being, our wholeness, our holiness.    No one can be truly whole without also tending to the body.  

H-O-L-Y-S-T-I-C is the way I spell the word "holistic" because the root for the word "whole" is the same as the root for the word "holy" which also means healthy.  To be whole is to be healthy in body, mind and spirit!  Growing towards wholeness and holiness and discovering our authentic selves is what life is really all about.

Throughout this website I have included articles about prayer and meditation, lifestyle, the trait of HSP*, empathy, creativity,  spirituality,  and more.   Many articles are written by some of my favorite authors, including  Judith Orloff,  an "expert" on empathy,  the trait of HSP* and much more.  

Note:  *HSP is a term coined by Dr. Elaine Aron, researcher and authour of the book, "The Highly Sensitive Person.."  The trait is also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity, and some call it Empathy.
