First order of business this month is: Goodbye to Winter! and Hello to Spring!
Now, the national themes for the month of March are numerous. I chose the following because these pertain to my life: Women’s History month, Irish-American Heritage Month and National Nutrition Month. And the main theme for the Month of April is: HOPE.
I think it’s appropriate to go back to “the beginning”…of my life and my social media presence/this Blog – which relate to these themes.
In short: I am a female, I was born in March, I am a 3rd generation Celt – Irish, English, Scottish and German ancestry, my Bachelor’s of Science degree is in Nutrition Science, AND I’ve had a storied history with HOPE! So it seems March and April’s themes are PERFECT FOR ME!!
I started documenting my own life’s history as well as my history with HOPE in my book: Life Launch! Surviving the Storms of Physical and Sexual Abuse, Book 1.
I got as far as age 25, when I had a transformative event in my life – joining AA and NA and stopping all alcohol and drug use. I hope to have my next book: Life Launch! A New Dawn: Each Day is a New Beginning, Book 2 published later this year. I am launching my poetry book, hopefully later this spring, which does chronicle bits and pieces of my life through verse.
And, I discuss my Celtic ancestry in depth in my July-August 2021’s blogs, as well as another book I’m working on that will include writings by my ancestors about their origin and life stories.
Regarding HOPE – it’s the entire purpose of my journey as an author and speaker – to elevate HOPE in others, with the ultimate goal: to contribute to mental health and suicide prevention. I Founded the Arise! MBS Healing Institute, created a webinar, a course and a tribe to illustrate, practically, for those in need how they might increase HOPE in their lives.
In my early Blogs from last year, I talk about the meaning of my LOGO (shown here) and how it’s intended to evoke HOPE! As well, in my August 2021 blog I go into detail about my ancestry and part of my HOPE journey.
And I also founded: The Benjamin J. Dubrow Rainbow of Hope Charitable Foundation for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention”, in honor and memory of my late husband who died by suicide.

Finally, I want to discuss Nutrition. As I mentioned above, my Bachelor’s of Science degree is in Nutrition Science. And since I was 15 yrs old, I have been on what I call, “a food program for life”. I decided to just start eating right and take the supplements I need right then and there, and maybe I would never have to go on a diet. Through the years, my nutritional needs have fluxed and my nutrient intake, through diet and supplements has fluxed in response.
On my Healing Resources page, in my “Wellness Kits”, I share in detail about some of the more impactful nutrients and supplements I take throughout the day, to help me have maximum energy when I need it, maximum rest when I need it and to be the most positive, mentally that I can be….all with the ultimate goal of increasing hope in my life and by sharing with you, in your life as well!!
More will be revealed, Dr. Liz #hope #hopeshot #arise #rainbow #healing
