                                                      Coming Together                                                                                                                               This has been a very tough and difficult year for most of us not just in the U.S. but around the world. We have lost loved ones, watched businesses close. We have faced loosing jobs,  We have faced the challenges of virtual schooling,  Of trying to work from home just a few of the challenges we have faced. We try to keep our families safe and we have had to decide if we should go back to work or not. Many of us have had to face the challenges of going back to work because we need the paycheck but still have fears of going back. We have seen frontline workers courageously doing everything they can to take care of others while also worrying about their own family, and we are so thankful for the sacrifices they have made. But one thing we have seen all over the world is people coming together to help each other and their neighbors. We have seen neighbors taking meals to elderly ones, picking up groceries for neighbors , we send notes and make phone calls instead of visiting , just to let them know they are not alone. We have also watched proudly as our children have also helped. Through it all we can not forget to take care of ourselves, Whether it is meditation or prayer or taking a walk or run or a bike ride , or even watching a silly movie that makes us laugh and forget everything for just a few minutes, you have to take care of you. Remember that one day we again will gather with family and friends and we will raise a glass and smile as we remember those that are no longer with us. Until then do something kind for someone or even a kind word goes a long way in making someone smile.  Take care and stay safe.

Holiday Memories

By
                     As we prepare for the holidays we may be missing loved ones some may no longer be with us, others are separated by the miles. Whatever the reason just because they are not with us physically dose not mean they are not with us , their love will always surround us. As we carry on the traditions of holidays past, We will hold tight to the memories of holidays past spent laughing with them and spending time with them. So remember when we are missing them they will always be in our hearts. So trim the tree and fill the stockings. and as you cook that holiday meal, laugh with those around you as you tell stories of past holidays spent with loved ones. So smile and remember all the good times.

Everybody is unique

By
                  I have talked about this before, but it is important to discuss it again.   It used to be that body image was usually something that affected mostly girls and young women, however more recently we are seeing more boys and young men dealing with it. With more access to social media young people are flooded with images of the perfect body. They believe that they have to look like these people. They are also sometimes confronted with hurtful comments. They can feel like they are unworthy or unloved. This can lead to physical and mental problems. This can also lead to depression and eating disorders. This can also lead to them trying dangerous things to look perfect. This can also lead to long term problems. As someone who has and sometimes still do, deals with body image negativity, we have to break the cycle. We should never compare one to another. Everyone is special and unique. Everyone needs to realize that their ...

Land of Imigrants

By
      It seems like lately when we turn on the television or read the news all we see is so much hatred and a nation divided. In the U.S. unless you are 100% Native American your ancestors came from another country. Sometimes they came for religious freedom, sometimes because of famine, or just for a better life. Yes sometimes they struggled and were persecuted because they were different, but they did not give up. Have we not learned anything since then? Think about all the contributions they made to this country. Think about how different this country would be and think about how different your life would be if they had been told that you can't stay here and you have to go back.                                                        Our ancestors came to this land filled with hope at a better future not only for themselves but for t...
