Purpose: Your New Community Health Development Center

I was given a book recently (thank you Paul) called, Even Eagles Need a Push. What a cool book! It walks a person through vision, purpose, goals, etc., all stuff that I had done on several occasions in the past. This time however, it really took me to a wonderful place.

In looking at purpose, David McNally, the author, says something that woke me up. He wrote that the underlying purpose of everyone on the planet is to contribute and to grow. What are you here to contribute?

In contemplating this question, I came to the conclusion that I want to have a community center where everyone can come and become healthy, a safe environment for families and friends, focused on creating more health and vitality in their lives, can congregate and be happy. In short, I want a Community Health Center.

I came into the office very jazzed at the idea of creating this new center. I looked it up on line to see if there were any such centers around. I found that the term community health center was understood to mean a place were people go for free medical care. Darn!!

How about "Community Wellness Center"? Guess what? Also taken by the medical industry.

So I was bummed. It has all been taken over by the meds.

In the book, it says that when you have a great vision of what you want, you will sometimes hit a wall and get frustrated. You may even want to give up, but then, something serendipitous will happen that will let you know that you are on the right track and don't give up.


Just when I was feeling defeated, a hawk landed just outside my office window. I had never seen a red tailed hawk around my office before, but there is was. I got the message. I knew I was on the right track.

Later in the morning I had a call with my coach and told him my idea. He said, we ran into a similar problem 15 years ago. How we separated ourselves from medical was to put together Health Development Programs. The light went on for me and I started putting together my Community Health Development Center.

So far, I have scheduled 13 speakers including myself and 31 talks and workshops over the next 3 months. We have writing classes, making your house greener talks, stretching classes, core building talks, photography classes, wealth health classes, a cooking class, and many more.

This has all manifested in less than 2 weeks. Wow!

Look for the "Menu of Classes" around the area. If you can't find one, call the office 818-249-9355, and we will get you one.

Come and enjoy your new Community Health Development Center. Woo Hoo!!
