“The difficult days we experience can become the driving force of change. Rather than lamenting adversity, we can choose to be grateful for it. We can embrace and accept it as a gift from the Divine. Within these gifts are the lessons that can promote our development and maturation. By being grateful for adversity, we can see it as an opportunity to transform turmoil, disappointment, or suffering into understanding, insight, or resolve.” ~Dr. Terry Gordon
Do you anxiously wait for an emotional storm to pass or do you use the time it affords you for personal growth?
Life is full of storms for a reason. They make the grass grow greener. Waiting for one to pass is a time to reflect, sit alone with yourself, and assess your life, decisions, and emotions. Storms give you a pause from busy schedules to re-connect with what is important to you. And, surviving one can give us the confidence to face other emotional or physical disturbances with the knowledge that nothing lasts forever, not even storms.
Dr. Terry A. Gordon is a Cleveland Clinic-trained cardiologist who practiced within mainstream medicine for over two decades. Named the American Heart Association’s National Physician of the Year in 2002, Dr. Gordon is nationally recognized in matters of the heart. After the tragic cardiac death of Josh Miller, a 15 year old football player, Terry helped to raise funds to place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in every junior and high school in his community.
As a physician who on a daily basis dealt with life and death, Terry understands that life is precious and can change in an instant. It did for him and his family when his son, Tyler was left quadriplegic from an automobile accident. Terry looked within for answers to their future.
Crisis can result in positive outcomes such as:
- a spiritual awakening to a clearer understanding of life and truth.
- A choice. Rather than lamenting so-called adversities, we can choose to be grateful for them.
- Embracing challenges and accepting them as gifts from God
- A Crisis providing fertile soil for growth.
As a motivational speaker, he has shared the stage with Dr. Wayne Dyer. As a musician, he is the co-host of Docs Who Rock, a United Way event. He is currently spearheading a national campaign called The Josh Miller HEARTS Act, which will place Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in every school in the country, protecting from sudden cardiac arrest our most precious resource, our children. Terry knows how difficult it is to lose a beloved child and his work focuses on keeping yours safe.
During this heart healing radio interview, posted at the bottom of the article, Terry (as he prefers to be called) details the day his life changed, forever.
No matter how difficult the situation you are in may feel, no storm lasts forever, so just ride it out and know that the challenge, like dark rain clouds, will pass. Terry knows this because he has experienced some pretty significant heartache in his personal life. He is often referred to as a “Wounded Healer” and goes into detail during the interview on how he got this nickname.
No parent should ever outlive their child. And, no child should die needlessly.
Despite the heartbreak he experienced, Terry remained an incredibly upbeat person during the interview. And, when I researched him on social media I was astounded by his sense of humor and joy. His Thanksgiving picture posted on LinkedIn was of himself squatting in a large pan on the kitchen stove. I got it. He was the turkey. Too funny! So, I asked him to share his secret on how he is able to cope with tragedy and still maintain a positive outlook on life.
His simplistic and honest answer on reconnecting with joy may surprise and enlighten you.
“No storm lasts forever,” is his answer. “It is important to transform your suffering into insight. “
The late Dr. Wayne Dyer influenced Terry’s life and outlook.
KOK: “One of the great supporters of your work is the late but still great Dr. Wayne Dyer. How did you meet and how was a help to you?”
Terry: “I had tried to contact Dr. Wayne Dyer though his contact information on the internet but, for whatever reason, I did not get a response. A few months later, I went on vacation to Hawaii with my wife. As I was walking down the beach deep in thought, I looked up and recognized Dr. Dyer. I ran up to him and asked, ‘Aren’t you Dr. Wayne Dyer?’ ‘Yes, I am he answered.’ And, that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. ”
In the interview Terry shares in detail his fateful meeting that altered his life. Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Terry Gordon made plans to present at a conference together on a Hay House cruise. Oh, what fun!
What could possibly come between these plans and success? Life.
Dr. Terry Gordon’s first book published by Hay House, No Storm Lasts Forever — Transforming Suffering Into Insight is based on personal tragedy. What makes Terry’s story so unique is how it uses the tragedy as a vehicle to self-realization.
Terry does not just talk the talk, he walks the walk, and then shows you how.
Despite the fact that Terry is a very busy man, he still focuses on helping others who are still waiting out their storm. He has just completed work on his appearance in the recently released self-help film by producer Robin Jay, The Secrets of the Keys, winner of Best Independent Film for 2015 in Las Vegas.
The film is written and produced by Elizabeth Robin and also stars Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, Jack Cranfield, original author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, and don Miguel Rutz, a Mexican author whose work is part of the New Age movement and focuses on ancient teachings as a means to achieve spiritual enlightenment, The Secret’s John Assaraf, and singer, songwriter, actress Gloria Loring.
Storms may be a reason to pause in life but not one to stop living. Life goes on with or without you. So, keep living and paying it forward.
Terry is a strong believer in turning lemons into lemonade and then sharing the healthy drink with others. He believes we need “challenges” in life to manifest spiritually and awaken to our life purpose. As a special gift for people still in the midst of their storm he offers a free Daily Affirmation on his website and during the interview shares how to find and download it.

Is There a Fountain of Youth for Your Brain? Are we destined to just slide downhill at the mercy of our decaying bodies as we age-suffering low energy, diminished cognitive abilities and memory, distracted focus, reduced sex drive and even depression? Or do we have a choice?
These questions and more are answered during the Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos radio interview with author Dr. Brant Cortright.
Listen as author/guest Dr. Brant Cortright and host Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos discuss how you can Stop Your Physical and Mental Decline and Discover the Fountain of Youth for Your Brain!
CLICK LINK to the Show at the end of this blog to LISTEN.
Based on Latest Neuroscience Research, there is A Paradigm Shift in Brain Health and Aging!
According to the Breakthrough Amazon.com #1 Bestseller, The Neurogenesis Diet & Lifestyle, the Specific Steps to Renew BRAIN CELL Growth to Restore and Retain Mental and Physical Acuity is shared with you.
You hold the keys to upgrade your brain to upgrade your life.
Trust in the scientific process of life and find the path to your Brain’s Fountain of Youth.
The Neurogenesis Diet & Lifestyle:
Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life
By Brant Cortright, Ph.D
For years science has thought that there was no way to halt the death of brain cells that control our aging process, but recent neuroscience has actually discovered how we can grow new brain cells (neurogenesis) at ANY point in our lives. When the rate of neurogenesis is low we experience memory loss, cognitive deficits, anxiety, stress, depression and lowered immunity. With high rates, we flourish–demonstrating rapid learning, mental acuity, emotional resiliency, robust health and more.
Wouldn’t it be remarkable if you could just increase the brain’s rate of making new brain cells?
Well, in fact, you can! And Brant Cortright, Ph.D, shares his formula to do that! His remarkable new breakthrough book, The Neurogenesis Diet & Lifestyle: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life–already an Amazon #1 Bestseller–captures the newest science on how to rev up brain cell growth.
Listen as Dr. Brant Cortright shares the scientifically validated 4-point program of diet and lifestyle.
This groundbreaking 4-point program will:
- Improve your memory and brain power
- Inoculate you against stress and depression
- Prevent or delay cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s
- Enrich your relationships and sex life
With this Diet and Lifestyle Program, you have the ability to increase your rate of neurogenesis by 3 to 5 times over today’s output.
Listen as Dr. Cortright discusses dietary recommendations for brain food, brain vitamins, brain supplements, memory vitamins and memory supplements. The Neurogenesis Diet & Lifestyle will help ward off cognitive decline and avoid dementia. It touches on a comprehensive holistic regimen that addresses Diet, Mind, Body, and Spirit.
This lifestyle plan is the only lifestyle for which there is scientific evidence supporting it, as shown by a late 2014 research study by the Buck Foundation and a 2015 Finnish study.
And you’ll find plenty of surprises during the interview, too as Dr. Cortright addresses:
- What’s up with those blueberries
- What happens when we do aerobic exercise
- Why travel awakens the brain
- How important touch is for brain cell growth
- The role of music and silence in neurogenesis
- Why it’s possible for you to operate at a higher level than ever before – regardless of your age
“This is the most important book you’ll read this year. Dr. Cortright has rescued new, paradigm-shifting findings about neurogenesis from being lost in neuroscience journals and brought them to the wider public to show the astounding number of ways all of us can expand our cognitive abilities and overall brain function—“Frank Echenhofer, Ph.D, Neuroscientist, Neuroscientist, Professor at CIIS
“This is the best book to give anyone over 50!”-Cathy Coleman, Ph.D
“For years, I’ve been waiting for the book that would show the whole brain can be enhanced, not just one of its functions, not one of its certain skills, but the brain on the whole. And here it is.”-Olga Louchakova-Swartz, M.D., Ph. D, Neuroscientist, Professor at Sofia University
Dr. Cortright’s work proves you are never too old to play or have other kinds of “young fun.” Youth is in the mind of the beholder. Your brain is talking to you. Are you listening? What do you hear?

Have YOU Met Your Physician-within,Yet? 3 Ways to Access Your Dreams (VIDEO)
Have you met your Physician-within, yet? Set the intention to meet this important part of your life tonight before going to sleep. Here are three steps to get you started:
1.) Intention is the first step in manifesting information in your dreams. A simple request is all it takes. “I wish to meet my Physician-within in my dream tonight.”
If you are new at this experience and feel the need to truly ground this request, the second step is
2.) Write your intention on a piece of paper and place it under your pillow. This is one way to “sleep on it.” A play on words that holds profound meaning.
Our dreams often use a play on words to speak to us. “Washing your hands” of a situation, kicking something in the dream “to the curb,” are two examples that come to mind of ridding yourself of a problem as a means of solving a challenge. So tonight, sleep on your intention and remember not to forget your dream. You can set that as a third step and another intention:
3.) “And please let me remember my dream!”
Make sure your dream journal, pen and a flashlight is beside your bed. If your dream awakens you, it may be telling you to write down important information before you have a chance to forget it. This often happens in multiple dreams. Rather than waking up your family by turning on the lights, use the flashlight beside your bed.

I met my Physician-within in my dreams. She introduced herself as Dr. Jules and the information she imparted about having three cancers, not just the one my earlier dreams had found, saved my life. That dream titled, Three Crabs, is in my book, and also in Dreams Cloud. http://www.dreamscloud.com/en/dreams/reflections/reflectionsall/38335
As an R.A. Boch Cancer Hotline Counselor, I’ve found that my story is not unique. Many women told me they knew something was wrong with their bodies and had dreams about their cancer, but did not take those intuitive dreams seriously. What does make my story special is that I did follow my dreams. My five minute video tells the story in film. This blog is a short version of my story in words, which is from my book SURVIVING CANCERLAND: The Intuitive Aspects of Healing.
My Physician-within came to my rescue when the medical community and the tests on which they relied missed my breast cancer three times. That is as lucky as winning the lottery three times in a row. Luck had little to do with it, Divine Intervention did. Science goes so far and then comes God, often in dreams. My first cancer was stage 2, my recurrence was stage 4 and the end stage of zero.
There is almost always a point in the process of illness where logic, reason, and medical expertise fail. It is at this point a patient can slip through the cracks, often never to recover.
However, we hold all the answers to our well-being. Dreams are the key to the solution.
Dreams are the way our Eternal Teacher, aka ET, phones home for help. Someone always answers the call. We are never alone in our darkest hour.
My story is about healing using both conventional and holistic medicine. I survived aggressive cancer by combining chemotherapy and radiation to heal my body with dreams, and used meditation and prayers to heal my spirit for total wellness. Laughter is also medicine and my husband of 33 years and I laughed “until we healed” because illness affects the whole family.
Using all of these modalities, especially dreams, gave me a healing greater than the sum of its individual parts. This also gave me the strength to stand in my power and speak my truth in order to win at the “Hospital Policy Game.”
I learned 3 important lessons that took me from a Survivor to an empowered Thriver.
1.) Life is not a spectator sport, so roll up your sleeves, jump into the game and be a part of your health team.
2.) Don’t be dismissed by those in authority. Teaching them to listen to you may save your life and be of service to others in the future.
3.) Be a persistent squeaky wheel until you are heard.
I have now been cancer free for 12 and 17 years respectively.
Dreams were an important part of your diagnosis and healing process. Five years after my second treatment, I had another dream. In it Dr. Jewels, my Physician–within, stood with my Spirit-guide, took my bag of chemotherapy and threw it into a trash can.
The message in the dream was loud and clear. I am not in remission. I am healed!

MEANINGFUL MOMENTS SHARED WITH LOVE
From Fearing to Loving the Unknown
By Sue Malcolm
I never anticipated my fear of the unknown, transforming into such deep love for incredibly kind unseen beings; but life is full of surprises! In my teens I’d find myself in the mind, body and spirit section of bookshops, turning pages engrossed and fascinated by what I read. All too often though, I’d hear “Come on, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into reading books like that”. Maybe I didn’t but I felt drawn towards them. Nonetheless, I allowed my friends words to exaggerate my mild fear of the unknown and I left the shops empty handed.
Sitting alone, some 30 years later another opportunity to venture into the unknown presented itself. At a time when I struggled to know where my life was heading a silent voice entered my head in a moment of serene solitude informing me of my purpose in life – to help sick, abandoned and cruelly treated animals. ‘Wow! What a fantastic mission!’ I thought. Without any hesitation, I humbly and excitedly accepted this message with immense joy, honour and gratitude. I couldn’t have chosen a more wonderful ‘reason for being’ although I knew little about animals.
I believe my instant acceptance of this anonymous message initiated a wealth of initially frightening but most often incredibly magical and beautiful spiritual experiences, and was the reason for a series of co-incidences beyond my wildest dreams. The latter led me to learning reiki and communicating with animals. The former introduced me to Angels and also opened my eyes, ears and heart to the spiritual world.
I’ll never forget the early proof of Angelic help I experienced thousands of feet above land four years ago. Hearing “please fasten your seat belt, we have just been advised of turbulence ahead” caused nervous tension in every cell of my body. The aroma I’d come to recognize when feeling anxious; and which I’d learned to be amazingly that of an Angel; appeared under my nose. Relieved, I silently whispered “please stop this turbulence? I’m so frightened!” Erratic and uncontrollable bumping instantly ceased, to be replaced with incredibly peaceful stillness and an almost identical repeat performance occurred on the return journey. My eyes watered to think that a heavenly Angel did that for me!
To anyone who fears the world we cannot see, please don’t. We are loved and helped by incredibly kind, caring and very knowledgeable ‘beings’ more that we will ever comprehend. In hard times assistance is always available. Providing our intentions are good, we just need to ask, trust the communication received and give thanks.
I’ve made many mistakes, trusting my own judgement more than the guidance received and have sorely regretted missed opportunities.

Now join us as we Access Inner-Guidance.
“We Learn by Enrolling-In EXPERIENCES that realizes our Full-Potential.” ~ Dr. Kory
“Because We Don’t Need It…”
Many of us have been programmed from a very Early start, since we were kids, to Operate on the basis of “Need.” But, if you really think about it, we may need only Very little to SURVIVE on a daily basis.
For example, we may notice that there are many homeless people on streets that day-in and day-out may only eat very little, shower or not, and drag on every day whether they have a place to live or not. We may even get-by with very little to eat or purchasing things every day and keep our bills to a very minimum. We may not choose to buy a car or take vitamins, or not spend money on skin-care products, and not take vacations; etc. But we do Extra things like working more than we should or strive to make more money to be able to afford Better things and move to better places; etc.
We do keep buying better things because we want to Enhance our lives for the better and not just “because we need” to. Living for the Better may take extra work or money, but it can also be accomplished by focusing on Quality in our lives rather than quantity.
About my guest blogger Koorosh Peymani, Ph.D.: Dr. Kory’s Philosophical curiosity in the areas of Psychology, Business, and Law led him towards the Path of Empirical understanding of these subjects. In this Path Dr. Kory has been of Assistance to many Individuals who have been struggling with their Personal issues that has caused them to hold back to be the Leaders they MUST be to SUCCEED in their Careers.
I wish to thank Dr. Kory for sharing his blog with my readers and invite him to share more of his amazing blogs in the near future.
