For August 7 and 14 club meeting dates, I plan to have an open conversation with our club members about plans for our club going forward.  The nature of this dicussion, our vision that we want to adopt, the purpose of our club and identity for our club will be discussed.  This kind of discussion among club members should not be attended by visitors.  -  President Stuart Silverman

Hi, I’m Sharon. I know, from personal experience, how frustrating it can be when you feel terrible, and you can’t get answers. I created The Life Energy Foundation so nobody with a chronic condition ever has to feel hopeless or stuck. Through a wealth of non-pharmaceutical interventions and resources, there is so much hope! As someone who also deals with a chronic condition (fibromyalgia), bringing these resources to you isn’t just something I’m passionate about—it’s deeply personal.

Life with a chronic condition isn’t easy. It can be crazy and awful—I know! There is lots of ebb and flow. But no matter what point you’re at, we can help you improve. We can help you create resilience.

I always say that “change happens when change must.” If change must happen for you, we are here to support you on your journey. 

Sending strength and positivity,

Sharon Bourke, CMES
