"Why Did This Happen to Me?" We Ask. My Answers: Raise the Bar!

I wanted to write today about one way a person with chronic illness/pain/fatigue might answer the question "Why is this happening to me?".

The Lumigrate Channel at YouTube - Interesting to See What's Hot and Not

Before Lumigrate.com was even 'live' on the Internet, we were working away putting together a complement of videos and creating a Lumigrate YouTube chanel.  It's a very interesting guide of what's of interest to people looking on YouTube, because that differs from what people respond to on facebook.  And we're always looking for what we can provide to give people the best valid, progressive, streamlined and FUN information about integrative health concepts.  Here's the link if you want to go look!    read more »
