I was talking to my younger cousin, Suzy, today and she told me that she made two big fruit pies and brought them to a friend's house for dinner. I said, "Suzy, I didn't know you inherited that pie making gene from Grandma". Our grandmother was one of the best bakers and her pies were really special. I told Suzy about a story that I heard years ago from my Dad about Grandma's pies. It was back in the time of the Great Depression. Our grandmother was a great cook and an even better baker. She made everything, like, homemade noodles from scratch, cakes, and cookies. Everyone especially loved her pies. They were the very best! Lemon, cherry, blueberry, pumpkin and apple -- you name it, Grandma made it.
The family lived in Michigan, and one cold, snowy winter day, Grandma made a few of her famous pies for the family dinner and placed them on the windowsill to cool. As fate would have it, one pie flipped over and landed in the new fallen snow. What a shame!
In our lives, there is so much we see spill, tip over, or break, and some of us see only the lost pie in the snow. I had a patient call me and say, "I am going in to the hospital to treat my depression. It's really bad. I saw a shrink and he's throwing pills at me - but they're not doing anything and he's a fortune. I have to go somewhere that can remedy this. I feel that I am being stuck in the same place without the tools to dig my way out. I am not sure I can hang on. I am really feeling hopeless... "
Well, I know from experience that our lives are a series of lessons to be learned. If we get upset and bent out-of-shape, it affects our health in all three bodies, physically, mentally, and spiritually. If the lesson isn't learned, most likely, we'll have to repeat it over and over again, until we really learn it. When it feels like a "crisis of death," it is most likely akin to a "crisis in birth."
There are always ways to dig your pie out of the snow. All it takes is the right coaching and education.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness!

P.S. My dad and my two uncles ran outside with spoons in their hands and didn't let a bit of that pie go to waste.
