Leonard: Finding Peace And Fulfillment In Life’s Challenges
By Dr. Laura Leonard DC
Los Alamos
I have encountered many patients throughout my career and I often get to know about their lives. Along the way, there have been several patients in the later stages of life who have given me words of wisdom.
One gentleman in particular, an elderly Hindu man crippled from birth with club feet and arthritis made a big impact on me. Despite his chronic pain and no family close by to visit him at the senior home he always had a peaceful and happy countenance.

Fr. Glenn: Shaking Off Sleep
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
