Celebrating Sister's Day: A Tribute to the Unbreakable Bond

As we come together to celebrate Sister's Day, let's take a moment to honor the unique and irreplaceable bond shared between sisters.

Whether bound by blood or chosen through life's journey, sisters hold a special place in our hearts.

This poem is a tribute to the love, laughter, and unwavering support that sisters bring into our lives.

A Sister’s Love

“In the tapestry of life, a sister’s thread, Is a line of love in colors spread. Through laughter shared and tears we shed, She’s the warmth in words unsaid.

From childhood days of playful cheer, To moments when she’s simply near, Her presence makes the path so clear, A guiding light, a heart sincere.

In whispered secrets, she’s a friend, In every quarrel, soon we mend. With every letter that we send, Our bond grows stronger, never end.

Her voice is like a soothing song, In her embrace, I feel so strong. With her, I know where I belong, Together, we face right and wrong.

Through dreams and fears, we stand as one, In life’s long race, we’ve just begun. With every setting of the sun, I thank the stars for what she’s done.”

So here’s to sisters, far and near, For every laugh and every tear. In every heart, they hold us dear, A sister’s love, forever clear.

Take a moment today to reach out to your sister and let her know how much she means to you.

Whether it's a phone call, a hug, or a heartfelt message, celebrate the incredible bond you share. Happy Sister's Day!

I’m Dr. Peggy Gleason, creator of the Mindful Eating Approach.

Today, we have a special guest, Dori Dori Staehle , the owner of Next Stage Drumming and the only certified drum therapist in North Carolina.

Dori’s journey into drumming and her unique approach to healing through rhythm is truly inspiring.

Key Topics:

Dori's Journey into Drumming:

  • "I always had rhythm. I can keep a beat. I think, I hope, let’s find out."

The Healing Power of Drumming:

  • The impact of drumming on mental and physical health, and how vibrations can be both calming and energizing.

  • "Drumming is both calming and energizing at the same time because you’re hitting a drum with your hands and the vibrations go through your body."

Science Behind Drum Therapy:

  • How drumming can mimic the effects of medications like Ritalin and Adderall for focus and emotional regulation.

  • "One of my students said, ‘Ms. Dori, that’s how Ritalin and Adderall work,’ and I thought, ‘Maybe we found a natural solution.’"

Customized Drumming Programs:

  • The development of personalized drumming programs for different needs, from ADHD to stress relief.

  • "I created customized programs based on what the individual or the organization needs, and it works really well and really quickly."

Drumming for Physical and Emotional Healing:

  • Dori’s personal experience using drumming to heal from a severe accident and how drumming can reduce pain and improve mood.

  • "When you get knocked down, you can either give up or reach up and rise up. I reached up to God and asked for a way to heal myself and others."

Impact on Memory and Creativity:

  • How drumming can enhance memory, especially in seniors, and boost creativity and productivity.

  • "I’ve seen clients who have boosts in creativity and productivity, their mood is enhanced, and they feel more hopeful."

Practical Tips for Getting Started:

  • Recommendations for beginners and the importance of consistency in drumming practice.

  • "If you can count, you can drum. It’s about using a very easy and affordable tool anytime you need it."

Quotes from the Episode:
