Chronic pain is a condition no one wants. Unfortunately, millions live each day with pain that won’t go away. Are there ways to cope with chronic pain? Research has shown that managing chronic pain is possible, separating the reality of pain from the suffering from pain. Suffering can be reduced by skills of coping mentally and physically. In this episode, I’ll share some practical ways to better manage this difficult condition. You can become your best pain manager for well-being.

I hoped my 3 year struggle with leukoplakia was near an end as my second tongue surgery began. Painful lesions had diminished my quality of life since a Covid infection. My spirituality had been important in the journey and now was under a test again. Would the mercies of God carry me through? This episode continues the story I’ve told in three other segments of the show. I describe what happened and the divine work which I experienced. I hope this final update of my Leuko Logbook will be of interest and even inspiration.

Do you find it hard to “speak up?” There are times when silence is not golden but a matte black that doesn’t meet the challenge when something is wrong. It’s important to gain a voice in these difficult times. In this episode I explore the capacity—and even the responsibility—of speaking up when silence feels easier.

Where do we find courage to speak? It grows from self-esteem. For persons of faith, the inclusion in God’s loving family provides a foundation of Worth. Those who understand their innate worth and dignity can turn that assurance into great courage. When a Power is seeking to further an agenda that hurts people, divides communities, or blocks well-being your voice can make a difference.
