Introduction Retired after 30+ years, I'm sharing the information I've accumulated on two blogs: CURIOUStotheMAX and MAXyouMIND. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1996. It's been a difficult journey. I hope this blog will help others find a voice for their life altering conditions One of my passions is teaching. I am a senior faculty member for The Academy for Guided Imagery.Since 1989 I've taught hundreds of healthcare professionals how to use Interactive Guided Imagery(sm) for health & wellness. I also teach Therapeutic Creative Expression workshops - painting, creative journaling, mask painting - and self hypnosis. In 2006 & 2007 I was honored by the National Fibromyalgia Association as one of 35 people in the United States to be a "Leader Against Pain. I use Therapeutic Creative Expression, self hypnosis and Guided Imagery in my own journey with fibromyalgia to lead as productive a life possible.
