That's what Monday's should be about - how was yours? Take time to meditate and stop the chatter.... <3

It’s this time of year again - please join, let’s meditate together!

Important week or two - please make a plan to vote! Our lives and livelihoods, our access to health care, social benefits, our citizen rights literally depend on our actions! https://www.planyourvote.org/

Don't overthink it - ****vote early**** and keep your blood pressure down! https://www.nytimes.com//blood-pressure-heart-disease.html emc=edit_ah_20201021&instance_id=23344&nl=at-home®i_id=58916602&segment_id=41778&te=1&user_id=250d00ea7267f01a0af48d66fea4e91a

Folks, get outside while we can and shop local! Stock good food, stick to healthy. Stay sage out there!

As we cautiously head into the fall, and resume some "new normal" activities, here is an overview of the new vaccines in development, their mechanisms and what to expect. Fingers crossed, 2021... https://www.washingtonpost.com//covid-vaccine-update-coro/

Couple days to make a good health commitment - stay healthy, merry Christmas to all!

Wow I could really get behind that! More farming, more plants, feed all, take care of the earth!

Here is a weekend read on the most burning topic in the mind of many. It is somewhat far fetched that it has to be explained like this, but since the rumors and myths about the vaccines abound then why not, let’s give it a read and follow the facts. Please stay informed and protect your health. https://www.nytimes.com//no-there-are-no-microchips-in-cor

This is a great podcast for all things 2020 - most importantly, reliable, science based information on the developing issues like vaccine, the disease itself, safe ways to conduct your life without harming your and your community’s health, and mental health issues. They even produced a separate episode to debunk every hoax and conspiracy theory out there that prevents folks from protecting themselves and their families from the disease. Please give a listen and share - hint - it is a good companion on winter walks/runs Stay safe and healthy for the holidays! https://podcasts.apple.com///social-distance/id1502770015

Well, folks, it's time to be honest - moving around and visiting with neighbors and family during the holidays this year, will do nothing but endanger us, them and numerous others down the chain we may never even be aware of. There are many positive developments in the area of vaccines, but in the meantime, it is up to us (especially in the absence of coherent centralized pandemic response) to keep our families and communities safe. It's time to fly solo, but ever digitally connected, in our family bubbles. We are planning a digital event here at THI, sharing readings of poetry and childrens' books with our friends far and wide that show our kind nature and love .... We urge you to consider doing same. Listen to this podcast to navigate the difficult situations around this year's holiday.

Important information - Mental Health resources in our unprecedented times. Please consider working with a mental health professional in person or via zoom....

Since there have been statements made on the federal side as to not being able and not trying to control the pandemic, instead trying for some future pharmaceutical measures, which may be months if not years away, let us examine what works to slow the infection rate and protect ourselves. My 2 c - if you work on your health and observe common sense precautions, it is entirely possible to lead a productive life - but it is up to us to press for these measures to be observed, implemented and maintained for the benefit of our communities. Please take a look at this brief analysis. https://mediahub.ku.edu/media/Masks/1_49bb9aid #wearamask https://mediahub.ku.edu/media/Masks/1_49bb9aid
