Kate Eckman has posted on her social media she has been ill the past two weeks. I forget the details but it was attacking the skin on her face. Bashers are taking advantage of this and trying to make it sound like she has left the company. This is another example of them trying to create fear about what’s going on with Market.

I can’t find it now to link it, but this was posted by her a days ago as someone took a screen shot of it, and I extracted the text from the screenshot using iPad’s text extraction feature:

kateeckman This seems counterintuitive, especially to those of us who care too much, feel too much, love too much.

My doctor gave me this advice last week after I spent my birthday alone in the emergency room. It sucked!

All of my tests, labs, imaging came back negative. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong and why I was in the hospital three times in six months with recurring cellulitis - a severe skin infection that can kill you.

To make matters worse, it was attacking my face.

I'm learning that sometimes depressing, scary incidents have to be so in our faces (literally!), forcing us to declare,
"Enough! This person, this situation, this whatever, is so not worth my time, my energy, my caring so much about it."

My brilliant infectious disease doctor, Dr. Martin Fee, helped me get to the bottom of what's going on and made some silly jokes with me during my visit with him. What a relief!

I'm now on the mend.

I'm so thankful to him and all of my doctors, healers, coaches, true friends, and family members who are helping me embrace my new life mantra:
I care, but not that much.
Every time I say it, I laugh out loud.

Embodying these words helps me not just understand intellectually, but also put into practice, just how much most of the things we stress about, that can lead to illness, don't really matter.

And people who try to bring us down? Well, they don't matter at all.
