The lyrics from the classic song from the Wizard of Oz: Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Future Del Mar Times Article My Prescription for a Healthy Life By Mark Kalina MD             As a doctor, the biggest question I have for my patients is “what does it mean for you to be well?” It is not just the absence of disease that makes a person qualify as well. There is a different sense of being well for every person. It often has very little or nothing to do with the state of our physical being . The biggest impediments to feeling well are the limitations and rules we impose upon ourselves  that take away the joy of living. We end up feeling stuck or trapped and this is what keeps us from being truly well.             When people come to see me for individual or group consultation, I ask them a few questions. Do you like yourself? Do you like your life? Are you “there” for yourself when things go awry? Are you your own best friend? Do you like ...
