I recently had one of those days where nothing seemed to go smoothly – a string of mishaps that kept piling on.

Cannabis: When Medicine Turns Toxic
I was flabbergasted – it was almost beyond belief. Last week, the New York Times recited a litany of horror stories about cannabis causing severe health issues. The article, As America’s Marijuana Use Grows, So Do the Harms (I’ve gifted the link so you can read it, in case you missed it) presented accounts from doctors, researchers, health officials and, most importantly, the people who take cannabis as a medicine for countless health issues, including anxiety and depression, migraines, relief from painful symptoms of cancer and AIDS (all mentioned in the NYT story).

Is THIS the Secret Emotion that you struggle with?
I have a friend who by any measure of success has "made it". He's an acclaimed authority in his field; he makes good money and others clamor to work with him. Yet, he feels as if he's never caught-up. As a perfectionist he's nose to the grindstone working nights and weekends but seldom claims victories. Are there shades of this in you?
