This is a great resource and a valuable post. Your work on Gratitude Mojo is miles beyond a simplistic "count your blessings" approach to journaling one's life. Including Dr. Pert's video is a stroke of genius that lifts your message into a mainstream discussion and links our Substack contributions to the larger narrative. Well done! Dr. Perez Ferguson

Joyce, this is the first thing I've read this morning. You have me so excited. Mind-body health is my passion. It's what has helped my husband after almost dying from a stroke--not the horrific drugs that mentally, physically, and emotionally sent him into despair and nearly killed him again (he couldn't eat, sleep, or think on the psychotropics they put him on). We've undone the damage with whole food, sunshine, playing music, walks in nature, meditation, breathing, and humor. He's healthier than he's been in decades.

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing person, the scientist, Dr. Joyce Pert. I now plan on learning more about her. Her energy and passion have me crushed to hear she's no longer earth-bound to continue her important work.

I am learning so much about how our emotions affect our bodies. I want to learn about Dr. Pert's studies.

Thank you for sharing this information. Speaking of gratitude, I'm grateful to have found you.

Michele ... thanks so much and I'm so glad to hear about your husband's progress. Health truly is an "everything" project and sounds like you guys are having a great time being healthy. It is too bad about Candace Pert ... her book is terrific even as the history of a transformational woman in science. I'm sure she would be delighted how far the mind-body field has gone and will go. best ... joyce
