I have always been a highly motivated, goal-driven person. Whether in my professional life or my personal life, setting and achieving goals is a constant for me. You might say that is how I am “wired”. But constantly pursuing goals can lead to undue stress and anxiety. And it often takes a reminder from the world around me to slow down and refocus my priorities.
Take for example my grandson Cooper. My whole world changed with the birth of my first grandchild! I never thought I could love anyone more than my son…until my grandson was born! He is an absolute joy! AND…he has been a great teacher to me in reminding me of some basic principles. What can a child who is not even 2 years old teach a man my age? Well, plenty! If I am willing to watch and learn.
You see, one thing that drives me crazy about Cooper (and all children his age) is that Cooper is not in a hurry for anything. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G! Cooper moves at his own pace. He explores. He looks. He discovers. He is in a constant state of wonder and amazement! And for a grandfather who is always on the go (he calls me “Pops”), trying to get my grandson to “keep up” when we would go for a walk was a major challenge! Until I realized that Cooper did not need to speed up…Pops actually needed to slow down. I realized that I had more to gain by mirroring his behavior than he could gain by following my example. I have included a photograph that says so much. On a walk with the family, Cooper was “bringing up the rear”, lagging way behind everyone else. At moments like that as a grownup, it is easy to say, “Get a move on, Kid!” But what was Cooper doing behind everyone else? That’s right…as clear as day, you can see Cooper taking time to smell the flowers. Cooper wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass to find out what these pretty blooms smelled like! Talk about a powerful lesson learned from an 18-month-old child!
After this photo was taken, taking time to explore, keeping my mind open to learning, and cherishing the time spent with loved ones has become more of my focus and “goal”. Sometimes, the best advice is to “go back to the basics”. And at my age, seeing the world more through the eyes of a child is a very refreshing lesson to learn! Thank you, Cooper, for the valuable life lesson!
I was diagnosed with stage 3 Parkinson's disease in 2002, and since then, I’ve faced numerous challenges and struggled with the chronic symptoms of the disease. Over the years, I underwent various medical treatments and neurological therapies, including treatments called Carbidopa and Levodopa. Unfortunately, none of these options provided a cure; in fact, my symptoms only worsened. Then, in 2016, I discovered EarthCure Herbal Clinic. After reading the many positive reviews on their website (www.earthcureherbalclinic.com), I decided to reach out. I contacted Dr. Madida Sam at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com, and He guided me through the entire process, ordering, receiving, and using the herbal treatment. By the third month of using their treatment, I began to notice a remarkable reversal in my chronic…

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 6 years ago after experiencing weakness, numbness, and other symptoms. Despite numerous treatments, my condition worsened, and I was losing hope. Two years ago, my son recommended EarthCure Herbal Clinic( www.earthcureherbalclinic.com), where Dr. Madida Sam helped cure a friend’s mother of Parkinson Disease and HPV. I decided to give it a try, and within four months, all my symptoms reversed. It’s been two years, and I’m symptom-free, back to work, and living a healthy life. My doctors were amazed by my recovery. I highly recommend EarthCure, it’s been life-changing for me.
Ten years ago, my doctor told me there was no cure for Parkinson's, but I never gave up hope. Everything changed when I found EarthCure Herbal Clinic and saw countless positive reviews on their website. After undergoing their treatment, my symptoms completely disappeared, and I’m proud to say I’m fully cured. I highly recommend visiting www. earthcureherbalclinic .com or emailing info @ earthcureherbalclinic. com if you're looking for alternative treatment."
My health improved 100% when I stopped taking all western medicine and turned to a nutrition lifestyle by changing my eating habits and diet, I avoid prepackaged foods full of chemicals. I purchased Herbal Formula from World Rehabilitate Clinic, I was literally bedbound for about 3 years. But now I have NONE of the issues they diagnosed me with years ago....all done without the help of western medicine. I am not prescribing medicine or supplements but If anyone chose to follow the regimen I chose I will be happy for them, conversely if anyone chooses not to believe, I will fully understand that as I probably wouldn't believe the story if I hadn't lived it.
