Welcome

Welcome to the Phoenix Rising Idaho blog, my name is Mitchel Bethel and I’m the current group leader and blogger.  With my future posting I would like to show you the possibilities open to those with health concerns and questions.    I believe in a triad of information, choice and action.  Providing information allows you to have choice.  Choices can help produce action, and action can help make your life better regardless of where you are now. 

Thank you for coming over to my little section of cyberspace.  If you want to learn more and find out about the group feel free to use the contact form on this blog.  Feel free to let me know your thoughts, ideas, concerns and the like.   I wish you well and the best life can give you.
