      ‘Rowing Grew My Resilience’

      Jan 26, 2024

      The gentle sound I chose for my alarm became less pleasant with each early morning ring. No matter which tones I chose, the sound was not what I wanted to hear at 4am. I usually chose to snooze once. It was a reflexive pattern I found hard to let go.

      Acknowledgments

      I acknowledge always my heavenly Father, my peace in the midst of all storms. It is He who empowers, encourages, and emboldens me to do and be.

      To you clients, students, all – you who have shaped this work and made my life that much richer – my profound and heartfelt thanks.

      My family - your love, unyielding support and dependable honesty continue to stoke the fires within me. I am but a shadow of myself without you.

      Let It Be Understood

      The standard disclaimer is simply this: the information contained in this book is not intended to provide medical advice nor should it take the place of medical treatment from your own physician.

      That disclaimer, however, is antithetical to my purpose. I have written to encourage people to think critically and do for themselves what no physician can do.

      The author does not take responsibility for any consequence from any remedy or application of supplements, herbs or preparations by any person reading the information in this book.

      Introduction

      Stress appears in many different forms: traffic, long work hours, poor diet, fatigue, medication; and the list goes on. Regardless of how it appears, the end results are the same: inflammation, pain, illness, and disease. Unfortunately, we are unfamiliar with its many disguises; as such, we are caught under the tow and fall prey before we know it.

      May this book help us become wise to Stress’s devices. For conversational purposes, I have given Stress a physical body and life. May this depiction help us to see Stress for what it is in our lives: an enemy.

      In disguises unveiled and others masked,

      Chapter 1

      The Philistines are Upon You!

      Despite the fact that we are of different races, hail from different places, have different last names, and coloring, there is one relative in our families who is common to us all. This relative comes to visit at the least opportune times, with lots of baggage. Tonight is no exception. Yes, without warning, without invitation, company has arrived and this promises to be an extended visit.

      Stunned, you are almost trampled as adults and children barge in with mounds of baggage and chatter. They swarm around and through you, it seems, in their bid to make themselves comfortable. Already, you can feel a slight headache, as you lift some of the baggage to place… where exactly? You’ll have to stack them in the hallway while you ponder that.

      In the meantime, you will retrieve bedding and pillows to transform your sofas into beds of sorts, for your guests. Maybe while you’re doing that, you could try
