I love surprise visits.

Especially when it's in the form of a superhero disgused as a mere mortal. The superwoman I'm talking about is Joanne, my colleague I met when I attended Homeopathic school almost 10 years ago.

I so admire her. Joanne is one of the most accomplished women I know: she is a naturopathic doctor, fencer and pilot. She also was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer some years ago. 
 
Being the superwoman she is, she cured herself with all natural means.

She called me last week because she and her husband (who is a pilot as well) flew near Santa Barbara and I had a lovely afternoon with her. Here we are eating at the Santa Barbara Museum cafe: enjoying great food, reminiscing and talking about our Practices and our personal lives.

Joanne has so inspired me in my own life, and I'll write a post soon of the traits that I've notice superwomen like Joanne possess and how we can foster them to take to new heights. Stay tuned!
