The Napkin, the Melon and the Monkey

Tuesday October 28, 2008

Don't you just love that title?

That's what it is -- a title to a book called The Napkin, the Melon and the Monkey that may provide you with a very different perspective on your life, and your health.

Written by Barbara Burke, it's a fable -- a story that wasn't written for someone with health challenges at all, but is easily translated, and very positively so. Learn about SODA, taking time-outs and other tools ... all to improve your approach to your healthcare.

And find out just exactly what a napkin, a melon and a monkey have to do with it all!
