New Year, New Life

Welcome to 365 Detox. In a word, it's about healing. Not just momentary healing. But a one-year program that I've decided to embark upon staring January 3, 2010, and ending January 2, 2011.
I have a long life history. I have had amazing experiences, and awful traumas. Through this blog you will find out about my life, probably be relieved that you are not me, and hopefully heal along with me. I am embarking on this journey to help myself, and others.

At this juncture I find myself, 47, married, three children (one step), 21, 19 and 7. It's hard to put a finger on my supposed 'problem'.

It's complicated -- but to sum it up, I am feeling worn down. Worn down from a cavalcade of trauma I've experienced in my life. The effects of these traumas have finally added up to me losing my edge -- a stability, a strength, a positive energy, which brought me through the traumas.

One year ago, it all left me. I had a lengthy anxiety attack, and needed to start to take medication for anxiety. Strangely enough, this process helped me to discover that I'd been covering up all of the trauma and beating it down inside me for so many years that I had already lost my own personal power and strength years ago.

I was a walking time bomb....ready to explode at any minute.

This year I want to push further.

I want to change my health, my outlook, and rebuild my inner strength, hope, and confidence. I invite you to share this experience with me. We will be asking experts, getting nutritional advice, getting spiritual and healing advice, and calling upon others on a similar journey to help us out.

I hope you enjoy my journey and learn along with me.
