On behalf of all of us at IIM, we wish each of you and your families a very joyous Holiday Season!  We are ending not only a year, but a decade!  Take some time to reflect on how much you have transformed in the last 10 years!

As I look back ten years ago, IIM was located in a three room Victorian House at 540 Baxter.  I knew that I needed a larger space and had several practitioners that were interested in joining together in a collective space.  It was an interesting time - Understandably, the other practitioners did not want to commit to sharing a space unless they knew in which space they would be working.  I was unsure about how large of a space we needed unless I knew how many practitioners were interested in joining our group.  It was quite a dance for a while.  But ultimately with the help of a lot of Divine Intervention, I was guided to the right space (our current location) and subsequently, fabulous practitioners joined our team!  We are truly blessed that IIM has continued to evolve and expand our services to help a growing number of people who are seeking optimal health of mind body and Spirit. 

We complete our 2019 series of Discovery with this newsletter.
Discover your Gratitude... I encourage you all to dial up your gratitude this month - don't just wait for something good to happen - be grateful now - just for being alive!  You've probably heard us suggest before to write down 5 things you're grateful for each day.  I'd like to encourage you to take this to a new level.  For the next week, every night write down 5 things you're grateful for.  However, do not repeat or write down the same thing twice.  At the end of the week, you'll have 35 different things/people/ideas that you are grateful for!  Great way to expand your gratefulness.  

Discover your Joy!  This is a great month to discover your joy!  You may find that you can discover your joy in the simple pleasures found every day.  How about the joy of unexpected warm weather in December?  Two days this week, I did my meditation outside on our deck!  Perhaps you received an unexpected Holiday gift!  Expand that feeling of joy and pleasure and allow it to permeate all aspects of your being.  You may find yourself smiling for no reason, feeling giddy about nothing or feeling happy just to be alive.  Joy is a powerful attractor energy.  The more you choose to be joyful, the more things you'll notice around you to stimulate and encourage your joy.  Enjoy these unexpected pleasures and feeling of joy!  

We look forward to 2020!  Think about it... not only is this the beginning of a new year, it's a new decade!  Think about 2020 for a moment - it represents perfect vision!  We have an opportunity this year to create clarity of perfect visioning in our goals, thoughts, and minds.  I'll be using this as the theme of our newsletters for 2020 - Perfect clarity of vision!  I'm excited about the clarity that I think 2020 will bring - opportunities to "see" things for how they truly are without distortion, manipulation or exaggeration.  Wait and "see" the powerful insights we'll create!

2020 is bringing some changes for IIM.  We have two new people working with us - Donna Hone is a registered nurse who used to work with Hosparus.  She brings a wealth of knowledge and practicality as well as a great sense of humor.  Erin Klein comes to us from the Louisville Coalition for Homelessness.  She has great communication skills and is excited to learn more about an integrative approach to health as she assists in the office.  We are so excited to have them both.  Cynthia will be cutting back to 2 days weekly so she can pursue her dream as a realtor.  If you know anyone who is wanting to purchase a new home, contact Cynthia.  She will certainly help anyone find the home of their dreams.  Jennifer will continue to help on Fridays and other mornings as needed.  Jennifer is the one who creates this fabulous newsletter.

This month we'll begin a monthly series on Sacred conversations.  Reverend Diane Renae' Walker will lead us in those discussions.  See the detailed information below and consider joining us.
Betty Greaver's Healthy Aging group classes begin January 30...  and Kimberly May has two offerings: her 12-week, online Infinite Energy Program offers the chance to start the New Year with a New Vision for yourself and your life; and a two-day retreat event "Self-Compassion, Loving yourself in the New Year" is set for January 18-19, 2020.

Let us know if we can help you discover your Gratitude and Joy!
