Acupuncture and Chinese herb clinics for children in the third world is one of  my goal. In
Florida USA., as an Oriental Medical Doctors , we are by Florida Law Primary Care
Physicians, What we can not do is surgery and administer Pharmaceutical Drugs. What we
do prescribe are Chinese Medicinal Herbs and Traditional Herbs. From what I have heard
and read I will learn things that are not in my practice at this time. At any rate I am So
looking forward to this part of my life and Journey to Nicaragua and Helping.
Perhaps my drive on this path has not given way to an easy life, for myself or those around
me, yet what I feel is truth and I have the need to be true to myself and to follow my
Heart. When I have chosen to leave my true path I have had a very hard life to live and I
have then lived my life in quiet desperation and many, many times not so quiet. Even at
this time on my journey I have chosen to take a turn that was not correct. My best friend,
Melanie, Made the comment " Gil,  please look at your fears and tell yourself that the path
you are on is leading you in the right direction".
It was not.  As soon as I made the mental
change and returned to my true journey only then did I feel my happiness and peaceful
self slowly return and every minute of every day I feel this. What we are doing is by far not
an easy life.  Going from place to place in  Argentina and then heading with un-answered
questions and no contacts at the moment to another Country, Nicaragua, and then to see
children suffer first hand is enough to crush me inside.  God help me. For I need it.
The incorrect paths of my journey have always led to personal  disaster. Yet from these
paths I have three beautiful children who I Love very much. I now have the most perfect
Being in my Beautiful life.  She has stood behind me, beside me, with patience beyond the
imagination. The Most Beautiful Soul I have ever known, and the best friend that ever
could be. I give thanks to My Melly. Melanie is My Wife, The Beautiful and best Mother of
Our Beautiful Son Indigo.  Most important journey in life is the journey of following your
Heart and Happiness..

          How did you get to be so wise?"
The papa said "By making wise choices,"   
           my son
"How did you know they were wise
choices?"  the boy asked!
" by experience" the wise old papa replied.
"How did you get experience?" the boy
asked.
