Are You Hungry?

Are you hungry? Is your body hungry? Is your mind hungry? Is your spirit hungry? Is your heart hungry? Yes? No? Or perhaps you don't consciously feel hungry, yet there is just a slight sense of unsettledness within your bones trying to get your attention to the fact that you are hungry...for something....for something that you just might not be clear about. Maybe time on the internet clouds the answer. Maybe staying eternally busy clouds the answer. Maybe shopping. Maybe eating or drinking more than your body needs. Maybe (fill in the blank!).



Welcome to the world of the real life story presented in the book, Are You Hungry? by Dr. Jody Stanislaw, the Great. :-)



This is what my life has become all about. Its my full time job. If I dont spend the majority of my day writing, I even feel unsettled. It is what I am meant to be doing in my life right now. I have turned my 'practice' of being a doctor into that of a writing practice. I have never been fully intrigued by sitting in a clinic, handing out supplements and herbs to my patients. The conversation I gravitated toward the most during my year working with patients in Thailand surrounded around the questions, "What do you love about life? Do you even know? Are those elements present in your life?"....I knew that all the supplements, herbs, exercise, and green veggies in the world really wouldn't make much of a difference if their answers were nothing but cloudy and negative (and most responses were exactly that...even amongst the 'rich and famous.')



So my intention with this book, in this time of widespread layoffs and everyone freaking out about what the heck they are going to do next in their lives, is to INSPIRE my readers via stories of my own life, to ask themselves: What is my heart truly hungry for?!... And then empower them to have the courage to set their focus on creating a life that includes exactly that!



A great quote that sums up my present drive to be a doctor of a writing nature, rather than a doctor sitting in a clinic handing out supplements is, "What the worlds need today is not more information, but individuals willing to boldly share their INSPIRATION!" So, that is what I'm up to over here in sunny Bali! and I hope not to leave until I finish my masterpiece! (at least another 3 months I'd say...thank God for my ability to save so much when I lived in Thailand and my ability to live modestly here in Bali!)

Love and hugs to you all!
