Surgeon Testimonial

Christina Li, M.D.
I thought the first time I met Dr. Li was that she was all business. She said what needed to be said and a smile was hard to come by. But as time goes on and we have met again she is very down to earth, very through and I feel blessed to have found her at this time in my life when I have such a journey in front of me. I am in the beginning stages of this journey and I know I have made the right decision and have choose the right people to be with me as I become a healthier, happier person.
11/15/06 Today I met with Dr. Li for my one month post op visit. She was so happy to see me and see the progress I have made. She is a wonderful person and a wonderful Surgeon. I explained to her that I have had no problems with anything and I owe all that to her. I will make the best of this tool she has given me and I know she will be taking this journey with me. I thank her everyday for being there for me when I most needed to make this change. I was blessed.

Hey Margie! Wishing you all the best in your surgery and new lease on life! I know you are going to do AWESOME!!!! I have faith and I know you do too. If I can make it though this I know you can! I'll be thinking about you on Friday and will keep you in my prayers. Let me know how you are doing as soon as you feel like chatting. I know I wasn't much for anything for at least the first week. I'm in your cheering section! ~Heather

Our Greatest Fear

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

~Nelson Mandela~
