If you have been listening to me for a while, you know I talk about writing in a journal every morning as you wake up and how I do that to ensure that I'm always paying attention to all that is going on inside.

After all these decades of various ailments, I want to make sure of the fact I remain healthy and do not allow any cobwebs or fungus to grow anywhere in my life.

In our increasingly fast pace and highly demanding society, it is essential to try and keep things slow so that it can be measured and tracked.

And all that is coming into our energy fields, places and spaces.

So recently I noticed actually how upset I got when I'd heard of a young mid-twenties woman being fearmongered by a bully in the medical field into having dramatic and drastically disturbing surgical procedures.

This was life altering in so many ways.

And yet she was frightened and highly misled into having the procedure.

Even somehow being kidded into thinking that what she was doing was saving her life, which it wasn't.

I think what bothered me the most was the language the doctors had used with her.

And these are terms that I've heard and phrases I've heard a lot more recently.

For example, even the singer Leanne Rynes was mentioned on the news.

as having pre-cancerous cells.

Pre, meaning she doesn't have cancer.

Yet even if she was sold this devastating procedure that literally electrocutes and burns the insides of her uterus, why?

The root cause of what caused it in the first place has not been addressed or identified.

And it horrifies me even to write and talk about this.

There are so many beautiful women being frightened and misled into procedures that do not, and I repeat the word, do not address the underlying causes of the appearances of, say, for example, a small non-cancerous lump or a cyst or thickening of the uterus.

Slow as fast as what my grandmother used to say, and with this overwhelming, overloaded society of misinformation that's out there, her words never hold truer than now.

As someone that was sold the idea of invasive surgery many times as a quick fix and a cure-all, and that I would have to live with the consequences and unfortunate incidents of my decision, which put me back, if you know my story, for years,

is why now I encourage all women to be the advocates of their own body and go slow, above and beyond any other external person, no matter who they are and what initials they have after their name.
