Dr Mari's Health & Hope Corner: A Spark of Hope - October 2011

Hope rises daily with each sunrise.

Follow this link to A Spark of Hope, a short read where I share sparks of hope and life I've discovered in the midst of losses. Dr Mari's Health & Hope Corner is published monthly at Hope Matters - a small thing I do with great love, as Mother Teresa taught.

I will join the HOPE team this weekend to speak at A Taste of Wellness with a Little Pink Book, a breast cancer awareness and advocacy event. I will share what I've learned on my own journey to wellness - especially that, as a doctor, the one thing I can always share with those who come to me for healing is hope, which is a wonderful, healing gift in itself!

Enjoy this month's Health & Hope Corner and join our HOPE team by sharing sparks of hope with those in your life. It's a wonderful way to live!

Spreading Hope,

Dr Mari

"It's like chicken soup for the physician's soul!" (K. Barton, MD)

I wrote Recapturing Joy in Medicine to inspire my colleagues to embark on a journey toward professional fulfillment, personal wellness, and greater MEANING and JOY. An unexpected journey to the "other side of healthcare" interrupted the writing process, transforming the book AND its author! The resulting unique, hands-on, heartwarming coaching manual is a practical and uplifting companion to a physician's practice. Check it out, tell your friends, and share a copy with your physician. We all need the encouragement! Learn more on my website.

Quotes from My Books

"The view that physicians merely need to 'toughen up' even more as the solution to burnout is not only misleading and incomplete but also potentially harmful." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine, p.5)

"Our healthcare crisis is fertile soil for the transformation we desperately need." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine)

"A lack of boundaries relinquishes control and erodes our ability to lead effectively." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine, p.95)

"A paradigm shift has changed my practice.... I am not at work to fulfill my agenda but to focus on people's needs & what God is doing in their lives. As I focus on God & His plan for the day, I discern His voice better. I am easier to guide & teach. I have more patience, compassion, & love. And I have more joy." (Walking with Jesus in Healthcare, p.119)

And this is my favorite blog post I've written: Lessons I Learned Watching Mom

BORROWED WISDOM

"It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it." - Albert Einstein

"In the Kingdom, grace is the rule." - Fr. Russell Wohlever

"The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be fully alive consists in beholding God." - John Ortberg

"Pain that is not transformed is transmitted." - Richard Rohr

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." - Mother Teresa

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"Divine goodness trumps our understanding of fairness." - Fr. Russell Wohlever
