It's definitely been awhile since I last wrote. It turns out that my job, which was previously a part-time, 27 hrs. per week job, turned into a 35 hours per week gig. It has been great and many benefits have come from it. But I have missed contributing to my blog and wish that I could get more motivation to do just a little bit each week. I think that some of that is just my idea that I have to have everything planned and prepared just so, edited, photos done just right, etc. etc. I'm happy to say that I am still on <a href="http://instagram.com/agalneeds" target="_blank">Instagram</a> fairly regularly! I'd love for you to stop by there to see what I've been up to! </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been enjoying the summer
break and playing a lot of catch-up with different areas of my life.
We've been doing some hiking, and I've joined a gym called <a href="https://www.hotworx.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'HotWorx'</a>,
which is a quick way to get in a work-out. It combines the actual
workout with a sauna temperature (between 120 and 125 degrees) so you
can sweat out impurities, along with infrared light--said to have great
effects with detoxification, pain relief, circulation, etc. So far I've
liked it but I'll give it a year to see what I think of it overall.</span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think if I want to continue in this blog realm, which I really do, I need to let go of attempting to control things, even the slightest bit. If I am even more authentic, (less staging, more vulnerability) there will not be the need to manipulate so much of what goes up on the blog. I think that actually it could become a little bit more relate-able because so many of us are dealing with life and trying to cope with ever-changing circumstances.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We still, however, need to keep our health up. That is one thing I am passionate about. Whatever happens, if we lose our health, it will become 10 times harder to cope. Thankfully, I'm still keeping up with that to the best of my ability, to the point that I can happily say I haven't been even a little bit sick in the past 5+ years. And honestly, maybe it's just the luck of the draw. But if it isn't, I'm happy to share whatever it is that I'm doing with you so you can decide whether or not you'd like to incorporate some of my methods into your own life! </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMEiGvF4f73x8i_8EymhtaZHcT8czT3EuqN5OMAXmQWAZfk_iV7rZBdnVRqxOTe4wPo7EWGMRlcZfX_-LHRlwj0ViJfVFTO_NjdCkbkoMHGQ6hvTkaDTk3ywgctwmu6ih0vqg_MgOLsXIEotjkrkNhoia0ARc-_7kesI4qDGC_mIORBUHCou248wdNA/s3216/20220702_181207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3216" data-original-width="1808" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMEiGvF4f73x8i_8EymhtaZHcT8czT3EuqN5OMAXmQWAZfk_iV7rZBdnVRqxOTe4wPo7EWGMRlcZfX_-LHRlwj0ViJfVFTO_NjdCkbkoMHGQ6hvTkaDTk3ywgctwmu6ih0vqg_MgOLsXIEotjkrkNhoia0ARc-_7kesI4qDGC_mIORBUHCou248wdNA/s320/20220702_181207.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK2cRNhUFOS2rgZhj7EJZuoEgt7gMgkM7czAz_SxeYhrKVSX6BE2BnaoQwxoycAF0c6OAawoBKjgloNJr21bgyK-jPeoNeDe1u7-zCiI85rDHX_XMQEsU0irZY1nhWgR8TLMFCPmuiytHKx9v2y-3nkw0kxnkgtKD7H8FM6T1QprEcNmtYP_Pg2gGBbQ/s3024/20220702_181109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK2cRNhUFOS2rgZhj7EJZuoEgt7gMgkM7czAz_SxeYhrKVSX6BE2BnaoQwxoycAF0c6OAawoBKjgloNJr21bgyK-jPeoNeDe1u7-zCiI85rDHX_XMQEsU0irZY1nhWgR8TLMFCPmuiytHKx9v2y-3nkw0kxnkgtKD7H8FM6T1QprEcNmtYP_Pg2gGBbQ/s320/20220702_181109.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I also wanted to mention that I'm still using Goli Supplements (you know, the ones that Jennifer Lopez has been promoting) and really liking them.

It is a big change from being face to face with my students all day - every day, to having basically an office job, where everything is done online! Even though I miss those crazy, adorable kids, I really enjoy my new job. I'm learning new and interesting things, meeting and collaborating with great people, and now even have my own desk, computer and phone! </span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But the hours are longer, the demands are greater, so I've had to adapt and change many of the things that I used to do in order to manage my life. For instance, I now have chewable supplements at my desk. They fit my new job perfectly! When I first started the job in mid-December, I found that my stress was through the roof with the new learning curve that I was trying to navigate. It was so easy to reach for something quick to snack on, because lunch was always rushed and usually even non-existent. And what do snacks usually contain? Lots of sugar and empty calories. It left me feeling depleted and that is definitely not what I need!</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTxAVembDGczpMqcgJUxJiqUEcC1STifKs-D-de3NmPCnFB_zSSRHtFKaNeZHPROx3y-VGl-DrYvWmC3xLkH6DJf9ibZyE-V_3mzSdY2EwiQ90bHCZFsYlpbsWZud1SrIrvJxrx70eSq5U4HXYqqWvAd6HY1AZLYumiBukybLSllqOBBlpRsyINh-Z4w=s828" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="656" data-original-width="828" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTxAVembDGczpMqcgJUxJiqUEcC1STifKs-D-de3NmPCnFB_zSSRHtFKaNeZHPROx3y-VGl-DrYvWmC3xLkH6DJf9ibZyE-V_3mzSdY2EwiQ90bHCZFsYlpbsWZud1SrIrvJxrx70eSq5U4HXYqqWvAd6HY1AZLYumiBukybLSllqOBBlpRsyINh-Z4w=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is a partnered post, however all thoughts are my own. </span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></b><p></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then I found <a href="https://go.goli.com/agalneeds" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Goli Nutrition </a>and it changed the way I work. It couldn't have come at a better time! I'm so in love with the fact that they have exactly what I need in easy bite-sized, great-tasting, goodness. I currently keep two bottles at my desk--The Goli Calm Bites and the Goli Multi Bites. I have been able to change what was turning into a very bad habit into something easy, manageable and good for me!</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #741b47;"><u>Goli Calm Bites</u> <span style="color: black;">- I chose these little chocolaty caramel nougats because they contain a healthy dose of Ashwagandha (150 mg) and Reishi Mushrooms (25 mg). Aswagandha is an ancient Indian adaptogen herb used for its restorative and rejuvenating properties. Its properties of helping the body maintain balance and adjust to stress are heavily backed by modern science. Reishi Mushroooms have been used for thousands of years to help balance body and mind. These bites contain KSM-66 Ashwagandha, which has been clinically studied to reduce stress and promote relaxation, promote quality of sleep, control stress-related food cravings, support concentration and memory, support physical performance and endurance.So lots of benefits in these tasty little bites, with only 25 calories! Bring me all the calm vibes!</span></span></span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"></span></span></span></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7T4_maNoMErU4qaz2KncFUnAA9vkHYE7Ot5EXVkPnbs6OLscd03_FkqZHKR9bL1sUBWz3i1zalWhx1F7RKBWwQ7bXYx64fVQ3hx4XbAm-mHADaEEE2SAti1lKWbDsdO1Xxf78UlYwCV8Iqd0jMy2wTAnb-cOrwFi6FKGeXZ4q3m8z0ELWvVQqqU4CIA=s697" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="697" data-original-width="450" height="529" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7T4_maNoMErU4qaz2KncFUnAA9vkHYE7Ot5EXVkPnbs6OLscd03_FkqZHKR9bL1sUBWz3i1zalWhx1F7RKBWwQ7bXYx64fVQ3hx4XbAm-mHADaEEE2SAti1lKWbDsdO1Xxf78UlYwCV8Iqd0jMy2wTAnb-cOrwFi6FKGeXZ4q3m8z0ELWvVQqqU4CIA=w342-h529" width="342" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These bites are so tasty, with only 25 calories each!<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></span></span></b><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1EPt6AWWq5GhJFmgWxl8yJWqAq4p-k-r9psCxxhuN-OLwdwpNaysgY86oKjNpYyPnqt03L2VPbW7-pBvBsnk8IZg7P46Yj72CApnS5HyM2HqFYWMxtTSsYKPgyz_rXvy9IqCZE4sF8sZc19eN-onOBxmJyJ0eEvV3cXvUidcAGe1Wz3bEmE9q2Asg8g=s818" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="818" height="341" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1EPt6AWWq5GhJFmgWxl8yJWqAq4p-k-r9psCxxhuN-OLwdwpNaysgY86oKjNpYyPnqt03L2VPbW7-pBvBsnk8IZg7P46Yj72CApnS5HyM2HqFYWMxtTSsYKPgyz_rXvy9IqCZE4sF8sZc19eN-onOBxmJyJ0eEvV3cXvUidcAGe1Wz3bEmE9q2Asg8g=w353-h341" width="353" /></a></span></span></span></b></div><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span></b><p></p><p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><u><span style="color: #741b47;">Goli Multi Bites</span></u><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"> - I have a bit of a problem swallowing supplements, but I do anyway. However, when I'm in a rush or have forgotten to take my supplements, I keep Goli Multi Bites at my work desk. These are formulated with a blend of vitamins A, C, D, E, Niacin, B6, Folate, B12, and Pantothenic Acid. This is enough to keep my body functioning and well nourished while I'm at work. Did you know that Vitamins A, D, and B12 help support your immune system?

The store was really great and I brought home some great produce, but I didn't know that Rowley's hosts a full-fledged fall festival with a corn maze, apple cannons, zip lines, jumping pads, giant slides, pedal carts, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch and apparently, something new! Well, long story short, if I had been registered for Utah Kids' Club, I would have seen that this is something that they automatically include in their list of discounted activities in their 'Ultimate Halloween Pass'! </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Halloween is definitely a time when there are so many fun things to do all over Utah--the weather is perfect, the harvest is in full swing, and it's just a good time to be out having fun! But it can get a little spendy, especially with families with kids. Utah Kids Club can help out so much! For just $29.99 (right now on Pre-sale for $19.99, use coupon code <b><span style="color: #741b47;">halloweenvip</span></b>), you'll get over $200.00 of Halloween fun through October 31st, plus all the regular fabulous discounts that come with the standard monthly pass. You can cancel anytime! But I must tell you, this <a href="http://www.utahkidsclub.com/ultimate-halloween-package.cfm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ultimate Halloween Pass </a>sells out every single year, so you probably want to act on it quickly!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><u> The Standard Kid's Club Pass</u></span><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you just do a couple of fun things each month, you can easily justify the<a href="http://www.utahkidsclub.com/step-2.cfm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> standard monthly pass price of $12.00!</a> Included are free meals for kids, discounts to over 250 Fun Centers (Rec Centers, Water Parks, Bowling Alleys, Laser Tag, etc.), discounts to Utah's top sporting events (Utah Jazz, Grizzilies, REAL), discounts to top plays and theaters (including Scera Theater and more), discounts to museums (The Leonardo, etc.), discounts to Special Events (such as Disney on Ice, What Women Want Shows, Home Shows, etc.). I mean, it's absolutely bonkers how many deals there are. And the fact that you can cancel anytime is great as well!<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I really love how it's really mostly about kids, but not ALL about kids. As you noticed, there are some things that are of interest to adults as well! I'm really interested in the free pass to Pinner's Conference in November! Or any of the Scera Theater plays, or the sporting events! I guess, in the end, even that is about the kids, because we parents are even more interested in the pass if there is something in there for us as well!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now for the Giveaway!! <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2uZW2ALCziI6WTKNKULfAVWZ8Web0CBYYilyMsKy6ylRs_L41BYYz08rxu9n88oAVQKHXDv5lFcUYCc9wwjPyqAG-gC5pS1-yfICJEz3eEQqQ4IrrP0b0iPrOUZySTkDkoSVsOtG4i0v/s943/Giveaway+Badge.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="943" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2uZW2ALCziI6WTKNKULfAVWZ8Web0CBYYilyMsKy6ylRs_L41BYYz08rxu9n88oAVQKHXDv5lFcUYCc9wwjPyqAG-gC5pS1-yfICJEz3eEQqQ4IrrP0b0iPrOUZySTkDkoSVsOtG4i0v/w592-h468/Giveaway+Badge.png" width="592" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span><a name='more'></a></span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I am excited to be able to give away 2 Ultimate Halloween passes with 15 amazing discounts to all 15 of the above activities and venues.

What a summer. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Some crazy things happened in the world in general. We are still reeling from the madness of Afghanistan. Who would ever believe that craziness unless they lived through it? Americans still stranded in that madness, trying to get out.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">But as much as this is weighing on my mind, (don't even let me start about the woman trying to get her 4 children out and a US state official doing everything he could to get her out, including giving money to Taliban. Nothing worked. Permission denied from the U.S. State Department. Taliban said they would shoot her and her kids. She was vomiting she was so frightened. Finally, she ran away with her children into the darkness, who knows where she is now....please update me if you know.) I try not to watch the news too much, because I would be a total wreck. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As much as this is weighing on my mind, I did have a summer. This is a brief re-cap of what happened!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We did some really great hikes--hikes that took me to verdant green mountains and to the rockiest of the Rocky's. But never did I get into the water. We subsequently started talking about maybe starting kayaking next year. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVYzX_z_10y2ytJbDyMTVci95hyphenhyphen3TzMzGKO1jJ1t5n5F8-ciPfnF1NUtXMWogR-5XBD0Z6A6mpOJMuCTY8mB9AIeE2-6DnuS2dRlyvP-o5WKd_3gKEQHcH8DiGsyQEmeKs6JXvg-QgCHH/s2642/20210720_085929.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1190" data-original-width="2642" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVYzX_z_10y2ytJbDyMTVci95hyphenhyphen3TzMzGKO1jJ1t5n5F8-ciPfnF1NUtXMWogR-5XBD0Z6A6mpOJMuCTY8mB9AIeE2-6DnuS2dRlyvP-o5WKd_3gKEQHcH8DiGsyQEmeKs6JXvg-QgCHH/w605-h271/20210720_085929.jpg" width="605" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCSNGugSUMCz7ohJPL1PwP5Dx8x9Vdb61vOuLJqBwSGw-m8RndY_4PmlY14ktiojgjc48h7fwdE10p41FVZAixT2ReOLh5O3G56-KKgkLbnnWK2gL-WQ_JIPue8IukqMUeBfXjaYr7xcg/s2642/20210720_093425.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1190" data-original-width="2642" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCSNGugSUMCz7ohJPL1PwP5Dx8x9Vdb61vOuLJqBwSGw-m8RndY_4PmlY14ktiojgjc48h7fwdE10p41FVZAixT2ReOLh5O3G56-KKgkLbnnWK2gL-WQ_JIPue8IukqMUeBfXjaYr7xcg/w572-h258/20210720_093425.jpg" width="572" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcdhAO6VI261yn4mNQRURF5b4k_vA-wtkIilV1bHRXzf_X6sa32OhzXYptwnCW6hr7Uz4xw2DLCcWVFYgZ7u3yeJSlutB4bCOxDC_-7E09d3rfhON9ayUW0qd90KVA4UNSnZwfoizgEw0/s2642/20210720_105341.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2642" data-original-width="1190" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcdhAO6VI261yn4mNQRURF5b4k_vA-wtkIilV1bHRXzf_X6sa32OhzXYptwnCW6hr7Uz4xw2DLCcWVFYgZ7u3yeJSlutB4bCOxDC_-7E09d3rfhON9ayUW0qd90KVA4UNSnZwfoizgEw0/w409-h355/20210720_105341.jpg" width="409" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMxhGJd3X2ffSTAYCILBbi2iPb51Bak9u8I4EiZJAcAPWkZKOlVoQSETL6f9MTDKTrpU5SYFIkaJpCEUR1N6fymizUW-yLEsEp2SGZt6ryXN8YY6kapWU9Is5XI0ooGKGX5exVkYUHRml/s923/Hike+In+Draper.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="669" data-original-width="923" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMxhGJd3X2ffSTAYCILBbi2iPb51Bak9u8I4EiZJAcAPWkZKOlVoQSETL6f9MTDKTrpU5SYFIkaJpCEUR1N6fymizUW-yLEsEp2SGZt6ryXN8YY6kapWU9Is5XI0ooGKGX5exVkYUHRml/w508-h368/Hike+In+Draper.png" width="508" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> The garden went alright. There were some weather issues that made it not as productive as in previous years. We had extreme heat starting in June and no precipitation. But then all of a sudden we had some real deluges. Our poor plants didn't know what hit them, especially the tomatoes. As a result a lot of them were cracked. But the grape tomatoes were so good! Our zucchini was not very plentiful either, which is surprising. But the lemon zucchini bread made with almond flour was so delicious!</span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3z59z1PgNPhCyLOdFqzoo-6zBwc5CRF-4IenVcv3QOcVf4jNOVwb72dehaCpOVhJOEIhAxN9IP2xZhrA_82RJjNqwfkdodnsUmzOSYlMlBvmAUH3I9by3kjugQ9c93I1_QS2Q35_l014e/s2048/20210906_164500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3z59z1PgNPhCyLOdFqzoo-6zBwc5CRF-4IenVcv3QOcVf4jNOVwb72dehaCpOVhJOEIhAxN9IP2xZhrA_82RJjNqwfkdodnsUmzOSYlMlBvmAUH3I9by3kjugQ9c93I1_QS2Q35_l014e/s320/20210906_164500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsTk50q-8COTRsNYK2Lun6mrADoX9GMMEza1ksM0qVU1qe-EAV2VUQUWHFV-Bn-bnv8Gm_zzgSeJrmv9VCOYpFnRbk62DBZuzf5PTbq_nxANVX8twIdTU2rpJGB8x77p_vASUMKzXbEAe7/s2048/20210823_122542.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsTk50q-8COTRsNYK2Lun6mrADoX9GMMEza1ksM0qVU1qe-EAV2VUQUWHFV-Bn-bnv8Gm_zzgSeJrmv9VCOYpFnRbk62DBZuzf5PTbq_nxANVX8twIdTU2rpJGB8x77p_vASUMKzXbEAe7/s320/20210823_122542.jpg" width="320" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs11QuYAHis87JMhiJYf9BW8ltba6qcLEUBWDVOZaARca2-CyzjEBYXrFjkTH5i8-wOnBBKLRelVhQFRRKMswdk8thZWlUWh0rxacnLHuGZi5ruYlFxB5NZqEaG0F4Sv_X4jr7V5dDge7K/s2048/20210826_083603.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs11QuYAHis87JMhiJYf9BW8ltba6qcLEUBWDVOZaARca2-CyzjEBYXrFjkTH5i8-wOnBBKLRelVhQFRRKMswdk8thZWlUWh0rxacnLHuGZi5ruYlFxB5NZqEaG0F4Sv_X4jr7V5dDge7K/s320/20210826_083603.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">I finally got to meet a blogger friend who I had known since I started A GAL NEEDS...back in 2010 or soon thereafter! I had always been aware of her and her cute newly-wed adventures with her hubbie. But then she kind of went missing for awhile. When she came back, I learned all of what she had been through with her mother suffering from dementia and her own stroke, which was devastating because she was so young. I felt such sorrow at what she had gone through. On top of that, she and her husband became primary caregivers to her mother. Imagine how hard that must have been. Then on top of that, they were told the chances of them having a child were very very slim. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">After a very hard few years, right before her mother passed away, they learned that they were going to have a baby! It was the best news ever! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was so excited!!!

Without our sense of smell, we can't taste food, detect danger such as fire, chemicals, or spoiled foods. We can't experience taste without it nor can we enjoy the enjoyable sensations we get as we smell familiar scents from our past or the smell of a baby or the unique scent of our special someone. Scent can activate chemicals in our brain that can heal us. If I had to choose one sense to do without, it definitely wouldn't be the sense of smell!</span></span><br /><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> For nearly 3 decades Aromafloria has delivered finely crafted Aromatherapy, artisanal quality products before the terms "natural wellness" or "clean green" were even categories!

There are many reasons why sense of smell can become dulled. After having the flu or most recently, Covid 19, the sense of smell can become diminished and takes up to 2 years to gain completely back. I definitely have experience in that area. My husband lost his sense of smell for right around 2 years! <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2021/08/help-your-sense-of-smell-with-sniff.html" target="_blank">Read my review</a> for more about 'The Sniff Project'. Natural aging can also wreck havoc on your sense of smell, which impacts energy, mood, and appetite and leads to depression.

Chances are you do, because with the advent of Covid 19 this invisible disability made a strikingly visible appearance. Loss of smell tops the list of the top four most lingering symptoms after a mild case of Covid 19. Early on, it emerged that many people were losing their sense of smell, even without displaying other symptoms. I had an experience where my husband lost his sense of smell for approximately 2 years, starting in the spring of 2019. You can hear more of that story on my<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CScUR3FjHXr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Instagram TV.</a><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A June 2020 survey compiled data from 8438 people and found that 41% of those had lost their sense of smell. Another test involving 100 individuals found that 98% could not identify common smells when presented to them. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">While most regained their sense of smell, some regained it very gradually. In fact, while in recovery, scents were actually distorted to the degree that things that usually smelled pleasant were now smelling rancid. This phenomena is called parosmia.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Smell training or Olfactory training is a method used to re-train the nerves and brain to heal again. "There is evidence from even before the pandemic that it can improve smell function in some people with such impairments."</span></span> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">--nature.com</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVrTZe3JOGg4b-7YSIKONOcYmoIUrX_H_BGTZR91-VYD7vvLTE3PPPi6Cd45-Cn5DOVOdPQ9D767igjGFolpZm4X3j2ehnk0oy6-vb82z9x0-jlGrODnmPxmXaDxUUht4gD4s55Qvd2da8/s1192/Smelling+Flowers.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="1192" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVrTZe3JOGg4b-7YSIKONOcYmoIUrX_H_BGTZR91-VYD7vvLTE3PPPi6Cd45-Cn5DOVOdPQ9D767igjGFolpZm4X3j2ehnk0oy6-vb82z9x0-jlGrODnmPxmXaDxUUht4gD4s55Qvd2da8/w601-h398/Smelling+Flowers.png" width="601" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: courier;">Thanks to Aromafloria for providing product for Review purposes</span></span></b></div></td></tr></tbody></table><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> <span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span></b><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The idea is that the brain has something called "neural plasticity" and over time you can retrain your smell nerves and brain to smell again. The original study used 4 different smells: Rose, Eucalyptus, Clove and Lemon.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I was fortunate to discover the "Sniff Project" from <a href="https://aromafloria.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aromafloria</a>, a company that has been involved with everything aromatherapy and has made a study of the benefits of the gift of smell for almost 3 decades. It is Woman-Owned and has a sister company, <a href="https://aromafloria.com/pages/cannafloria-home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cannafloria</a>. Both companies are under the umbrella of Affloria, Inc.<br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Sniff Project, Olfactory Training Kit was designed by a Pharmacist, a certified aromatherapist and a certified integrative health coach. It is modeled after the original studies which found that actually training the nose to smell could help those who suffer with lose of smell to gain back that ability. I think of it as physical therapy for the nose. </span></span></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_WGPAwfU_pXC3KJR3rGkplxodyZ_0SGr-cce7hk1YyEp0hjgzkjyqz2FgCWXjC8m_6XX0BPni6XzRr1k8p5H3OW7LVLUgsvjdRs1v380BLksd07D8trdQosynQeDPiBMMcZDZAinvMrZ9/s2048/20210811_132854.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_WGPAwfU_pXC3KJR3rGkplxodyZ_0SGr-cce7hk1YyEp0hjgzkjyqz2FgCWXjC8m_6XX0BPni6XzRr1k8p5H3OW7LVLUgsvjdRs1v380BLksd07D8trdQosynQeDPiBMMcZDZAinvMrZ9/w616-h616/20210811_132854.jpg" title="I was provided with my own Sniff Kit for review purposes" width="616" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sniff Kit provided for Review Purposes!

You're helping to stimulate the cells and neurons of the olfactory system with parts of the brain that regulate memory. <br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have made great use of my Olfactory Training Kit!

Is Ayurvedic Healing For You? <p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Ayurvedic medicine has been around for about 3000 years. Originating in India, there have been many aspects of it that have flourished here in the states. Think about the practice of meditation, and the benefits it has in our busy lives. It gives us a chance to manage the stress we see every single day. Essential oils and aromatherapy also branch out from Ayurvedic Medicine. Yoga is another beneficial branch of the practice. There is also the nutritional aspect. The herb turmeric is renowned for its cleansing of toxins inside the body.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFLnVRYgWQqC1nAGTGQqZxbWO52RtGnZvKAUWMaBBPTaUTTC2odvCUgogGNiJI32AVoL761tJhakI93kGv8lBQj2_mPP9SoDy3IJp7Tp3qOWXFSyh2M6IDXbP_LMCB6B12ODOlOZNogB1/s764/yoga.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="764" height="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFLnVRYgWQqC1nAGTGQqZxbWO52RtGnZvKAUWMaBBPTaUTTC2odvCUgogGNiJI32AVoL761tJhakI93kGv8lBQj2_mPP9SoDy3IJp7Tp3qOWXFSyh2M6IDXbP_LMCB6B12ODOlOZNogB1/w522-h475/yoga.png" width="522" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I have utilized every one of </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">those branches of Ayurvedic </span></span>holistic practices at one time or another in my own life. None of them have necessarily been used simultaneously. But rather, at the time that they presented themselves and at a time when I needed them most.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">At their roots in India, Ayurvedic practices have been described as very earthy and even primitive. I have a friend who actually visited India for a good length of time and was able to participate in the native Ayurvedic Medicine. She said there were many more varied techniques, different from the things we have taken and assimilated here in our western culture. She talked about extremely hot massage techniques with heated oils and stones, a cleansing steam treatment that encompassed everything except the head, and was extremely hot! She talked about healing medicine for the scalp that included invertebrates. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I love living in the U.S. because there are so many different cultures blended here, with various healing arts from food to medicines. It seems to me that the best mind and body techniques usually surface and become mainstream in some form or fashion. I love to take advantage of the best of these and incorporate them into my own life. For instance, during the past 6 months I started drinking an herbal Ayurvedic tea in the mornings and the results have been amazing! The hand excema that I usually get in the summer has been virtually eradicated. I feel like this drink has a lot to do with that!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVE8VIGYMMD7RuU65uCRI9FTMQtoeZUUSQaIECLc7jD2ylsm5Znm9_tzppGcK4v65T0mBGUUUHZ4uqR2Pzl7HmMT1P98QDioqNd4Hd5TP52sIanD5QeWn9qEt_50khMIDUsfnfNpO_JDzh/s956/Tea.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="956" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVE8VIGYMMD7RuU65uCRI9FTMQtoeZUUSQaIECLc7jD2ylsm5Znm9_tzppGcK4v65T0mBGUUUHZ4uqR2Pzl7HmMT1P98QDioqNd4Hd5TP52sIanD5QeWn9qEt_50khMIDUsfnfNpO_JDzh/w532-h385/Tea.png" width="532" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I took the quiz and received an initial consultation for review purposes<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I recently had the opportunity to have an Ayurvedic consultation with a dedicated practitioner and healer who is based out of Spain and lives in Ibizia, where the beautiful Balearic islands are located.

From there, we scheduled a time to chat over Telegraph. I felt like she really nailed my personality and health needs. She recommended ways to cope with stress, foods to enjoy, foods to avoid, when to eat certain foods, how to best cope with stress and even gave me some relationship tips. I feel like it gave me a general map to improve my overall health, but not all the specifics. For that, I would need to have a more extended and guided instruction over the course of a few days or even months. I love her calm voice and her very peaceful way of communicating what would be a good path for me to take in terms of my overall health and well-being.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There is one package that I thought was really interesting, which is the <a href="https://sadhanajourney.com/consultations/#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cleanse Package</a>. According to Ayurvedic medicine, spring and fall are the best times to maintain health. One does that by doing an overall guided cleanse. Sophie does that by giving you daily food guidelines, daily routines for body, mind, and spirit along with special Ayurvedic recipes. I like the idea of the maintenance of our health, which is something one does on an annual or semi-annual basis. We maintain our homes, our cars, and our relationships by doing things periodically to strengthen them, clean out the old, and infuse with new and vital nutrients. It makes a lot of sense!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">To find out more, visit Sophie at Sadhana Journey, or on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sadhanajourney" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sadhanajourneys/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram </a>or her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Tz0h5sdxzfpGH8hkjwQ8w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a> Channel!

For one thing, there's no 'before' shot! <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">This summer I took </span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">our classroom plant </span></span>home with me. It has been languishing in our room for almost 4 years. I took pity on it early on because it was almost dead from lack of water and care. Every so often, when I thought about it, in between caring for our students and getting them organized and situated, I watered it. That's it. I simply watered it when I could. That's pretty standard in our classroom---no one gets my undivided attention for more than a few minutes at a time, but they all get at least something.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">I didn't want to come back in the fall to an almost dead plant once again. She didn't look so great even when we left for the summer--just a few sparse leaves hanging on for dear life, but not so bad that someone would throw her in the trash. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometime this past year I had begun to respect the valiant effort she has put up to stay alive after some pretty sorry neglect. So I asked Mr. Lucy, to whom the plant had originally been gifted from a student, if I could take it home for the summer. He was all for it, since caring for and nurturing plants isn't on his top priority list.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">It has been 5 weeks since Trudy (the name I have bestowed upon her since she arrived here) has been on my kitchen counter. And wow, I wish I had taken a "before" photo. She has just thrived! All I did was put a bit more soil into the pot she was in and have been watering her every other day. Nothing more, but she is a different plant. I think people are going to be amazed.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiD-x96IaRHkyxFWG0ps-AdfDEfefNSqrduk-nWnNqOd9DSMjh0lJDuQ6LlrmBW1tm7bx9rRSW8Pqia0_lcrVzzJQviqX6tSYl93zwuAVfgPOXKXatNc3PWH7M_lO0uel7lzopK-OKD3E/s2048/20210628_193540.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="537" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiD-x96IaRHkyxFWG0ps-AdfDEfefNSqrduk-nWnNqOd9DSMjh0lJDuQ6LlrmBW1tm7bx9rRSW8Pqia0_lcrVzzJQviqX6tSYl93zwuAVfgPOXKXatNc3PWH7M_lO0uel7lzopK-OKD3E/w403-h537/20210628_193540.jpg" width="403" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Meet Trudy!<br /></span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, I've started to wonder about the actual humans in our room. Every year we get an assorted variety of students, at the very awkward stage between childhood and adolescence. Very awkward indeed. Then add onto that, various disabilities, home environments, parental situations and outside elements. Sometimes I wonder if being in our room is just barely enough to keep some of them hanging on to dear life. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I was able to bring one or two of them home with me for the summer. Would I see the kind of progress I am seeing with Trudy? Would they start developing new skills, new interests, gain greater self-esteem? It makes me wonder....I wish I could just ask someone for permission to take a couple of them home with me. Just for the summer. Just to keep them going until they can return in the fall.... </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNd5V-6cwdCpdNuWum5-6tLCcYYikoztx_MLzzqFWwfPOcXD7gQjBl23mbLJm_XnI0DBfkAsvE-CrqCP50W_I6cbcvPWiNPsmIdLIDNi-VmTZzrIpKt5EiXPEb0ukgz2tySnGDSjOZQO0U/s790/MYPostMonday.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="752" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNd5V-6cwdCpdNuWum5-6tLCcYYikoztx_MLzzqFWwfPOcXD7gQjBl23mbLJm_XnI0DBfkAsvE-CrqCP50W_I6cbcvPWiNPsmIdLIDNi-VmTZzrIpKt5EiXPEb0ukgz2tySnGDSjOZQO0U/w387-h406/MYPostMonday.jpg" width="387" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><span><span><b><span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><b><span><span style="color: #a64d79;">Today is "My Post Monday!", a curation of my picks of the week's best original content.

Many of us picture ourselves married, living in a lovely house, and even having a family to surround us. Even if that's the exact opposite of your dream life, you probably see yourself living successfully and comfortably - whatever that means to you - in the future.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One thing that many people want to do in their future is invest in precious things for the next generation. This could be by passing down their home to their children, or keeping their most treasured items safe to give to the next generation. Many people want to be able to leave something valuable behind, for their families to enjoy and cherish for years and years to come. If you want this for your posterity, you could start thinking about investing in heirloom accessories.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I know that my mother's wedding ring is a very sentimental thing. It represents the love that my dad had for her--enough to spend a big portion of his hard-earned money as a merchant marine to get that for her before they were married. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another sentimental heirloom is an original painting given to my grandmother by a gentleman from his collection. It is a picture of a young woman playing the violin. It says, "And when night's tender shadows dim the sunset's lingering hues, the storm is stilled and music speaks of life, of hope, and you." My grandmother has never been gone when I look at that picture and read that verse.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">What Are Heirloom Accessories?</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: medium;">An heirloom accessory is usually a piece of jewelry or a watch, that you want to become a family heirloom; it will be passed to your kids, and subsequently to their kids, and the list goes on. You probably already have a few of these in your household, like your grandmother's ring - so wouldn't it be amazing to have something of your own to pass down?</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So, where to start when searching for heirloom accessories? This is a significant investment that shouldn't be taken lightly. Let's explore some options for finding heirloom accessories that'll last hundreds of years.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heirloom Jewelry</span> </span></span></span> </span><br /></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The most comon form of heirloom accessories is jewelry. Wedding jewelry is often the biggest accessory investment a person makes, becuase not only does it represent the everlasting union you have forged, but it will also be passed down to the next generation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Were does on begin the search for heirloom jewelry? This depends on your budget. If you want to make a more significant investment in your heirloom collection, you could order a bespoke piece from a luxury jeweler like <a href="https://www.jessicamccormack.com/jewellery/rings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jessica McCormack,</a> who is based in London, or <a href="https://www.goodstoneinc.com/collections/wedding-bands" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Good Stone</a>, based in Texas. These are two examples of fabulous jewelers who can create a timeless piece for you--be it a ring, a necklace, earrings, a brooch or even a pair of cufflinks.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBn2Pwq-TCMg9ERdJtceD1Gk9zb-Uoq0Q08baRq97bJSD9xTfbsc9PlHIyX-2rUjjpr8yJNnZchSsQjLmM2Ybj0j-WDrA-tgxTAPEA0G4gqaRJc6RUZbu0ilFaHaCt_ZKraSG5SdNyIr9E/s818/Old+Jewelry.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="818" data-original-width="557" height="708" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBn2Pwq-TCMg9ERdJtceD1Gk9zb-Uoq0Q08baRq97bJSD9xTfbsc9PlHIyX-2rUjjpr8yJNnZchSsQjLmM2Ybj0j-WDrA-tgxTAPEA0G4gqaRJc6RUZbu0ilFaHaCt_ZKraSG5SdNyIr9E/w482-h708/Old+Jewelry.png" width="482" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a partnered post.

The brick wall is approaching fast....all you really want to do is look at your phone and have some down time. Unfortunately, </span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">paid time off is for vacations, extreme illness, or family emergencies. Could we just get some non-productivity pay as well? (Try making THAT suggestion at the next office meeting!)<br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Being productive at work is important because (hello...) it is what keeps you in a job and pays your bills, but it isn't always the easiest thing to be, given that life happens, even though you might have a job that requires you to be there a certain amount of hours per day, rain or shine. Lack of productivity at work, however, is not the end of the world as long as it is rectified quickly and not left to get worse.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are a number of things at work and home that can affect your productivity and cause your work to slump. If you feel you are struggling with productivity at work and you're unsure what you can do to correct this, hopefully these few tips will give you an idea of what you can do and get you started working towards a more productive work life.</span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="401" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/OswWnr7kW_3AyUHHuIuxhuE2WwTyzIBa1qVIxpACy1tTX2iwz8hLvcn8LssfSXiB6WzYP_ClYo1NAoB3Rbag3XlIliimFSaC44BX8qW2uZ-qbH0wT7thC9QdlZNb9mlb4OfCfnD0" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="602" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is a partnered post.

major impact on your productivity is whether or not you are happy in
your job. If you're in a job you don't enjoy or if you're in a job that
is not the career path you want to be on, then you should make the
change to something that does make you happy. Depending where you are in
life, you could look at a complete career change. If you're already in
the health industry, you could start a <a href="https://www.practicematch.com/physicians/jobs/emergency-medicine" target="_blank">new career in emergency medicine</a>
or change hospital wards you work on----anything that would make you
happier. With easier obtained opportunities to re-educate in new fields,
you should have no issues changing careers and picking up any
qualifications you might need for a happier life. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Set Schedules For Yourself</span></span></b></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://productivityist.com/the-importance-of-scheduling/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Setting up schedules</a>
will allow you to plan your day and tick things off as you work. This
helps you to remain focused and also know what you need to be doing at
any given time. Frequently, a problem with productivity is not knowing
what needs to be done and what time you have to do it. If you have a
schedule you know how much time you have and where to slot in the work
you need to do.This will allow you to manage your time and increase
productivity. Also make a note of when you feel most productive in the
day and make sure you schedule your harder tasks for that time to
increase productivity when at your best.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Watch Your Health</span></span></b></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Although
you may not think your health impacts your work, it actually can. For
example, if you exercise and eat well, this increases your energy and
your brain function, allowing you to be more productive and have
increased focus. <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2021/02/top-six-reasons-to-exercise-before.html" target="_blank">Exercising before work</a>
can help to energize and give you focus for your day. It's often
tempting to eat sugary snacks, which are seemingly always put out for
employees. It's almost like a booby trap. Rewarding someone with sugary

Looking after your body is important and as the spine holds the body together, it's important that you do all you can to protect it. With that being said, here are some tips for dealing with back pain.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NVUGsISP4KWUdvWi6RrgU0Xkz7nJ3BF3SIiSZ7GnUisUuR7vfU35YcLmIiGaVEwx9OZfUN-j7Wu-MiPLMq0NzPmPUz1Y-3qvt0sjsgcd7Ww6NgH9ivvVd7RfK6utQ-GKOMJMvf2ovrlM/s798/Back+Pic2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="798" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NVUGsISP4KWUdvWi6RrgU0Xkz7nJ3BF3SIiSZ7GnUisUuR7vfU35YcLmIiGaVEwx9OZfUN-j7Wu-MiPLMq0NzPmPUz1Y-3qvt0sjsgcd7Ww6NgH9ivvVd7RfK6utQ-GKOMJMvf2ovrlM/w608-h347/Back+Pic2.png" width="608" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-in-black-tank-top-7298893/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Image</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">This is a partnered post.

If you've not got <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/guidetogoodposture.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">great posture</a> then chances are you're going to do some significant damage to the body. Think about how you are sitting right now. Are you slouched over your desk or looking down at your phone or laptop from the sofa? You should always maintain an upright position where possible and a lot of the time, this isn't the case. We naturally hunch our shoulders over and slump down into our chairs when working at our desk and once we've assumed this posture position, it can be very hard to correct it.</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">However, it is something that you can do over time. Try to make a conscious effort to focus on how you're sitting at all at all times and whenever you find yourself slouching or not sitting correctly, correct it right away. The more attentive you are to it, the better you'll be at sitting more comfortably for your back and this will reduce the pain.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Do The Right Exercises</span></b></u></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://theconversation.com/keeping-fit-how-to-do-the-right-exercise-for-your-age-108851" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Exercising your body</a> is going to help it stay active and more importantly, to build muscle. The more muscle you can have to support your body, the better. Your bones and joints are surrounded by muscle and so it's worth putting in the effort to build it up so that less strain is put on these vulnerable areas.</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Try to find exercises that are comfortable for your pain threshold and try to focus on strengthening your back for the most part. The same goes for your legs as this can carry a lot of the body's weight too. Exercise is important but you need to be doing the right exercises in order to keep your body in shape and feeling strong.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> <span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Use Ice Or Heat</span></b></u></span></span></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When you feel pain in your body, one of the best things to do in order to combat it is applying hot and cold compresses. These are really important to do because they can help ease the inflammation that is likely causing the pain in your body. Your back can feel sore and so a good way to help combat that soreness is by applying a hot water bottle, for example, or ice pace to the area itself.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWsPqI8K2wbQoha4U5i6_g7symCep8z27o-gNaf6f5lT1Aj8Hfm1YJAq7nMUn-NJsqBEmSuYknjUAnY6688O_GA7eGcX17eLYIWBBsxkPx64S-MAg8oXGYo0kDjms19Nxjfhqb1d28nEX/s799/Back+Pic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="799" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWsPqI8K2wbQoha4U5i6_g7symCep8z27o-gNaf6f5lT1Aj8Hfm1YJAq7nMUn-NJsqBEmSuYknjUAnY6688O_GA7eGcX17eLYIWBBsxkPx64S-MAg8oXGYo0kDjms19Nxjfhqb1d28nEX/w576-h386/Back+Pic.png" width="576" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-person-s-back-1084718/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Image</a></td></tr></tbody></table> </span></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you're using an ice pack, don't put ice directly onto your skin as that could cause blistering. Instead, wrap it around a towel and apply to the area. For hot water bottles and hot bags, make sure they aren't scalding hot or you could end up burning yourself. Make sure to double check the seal on the bottle so that it doesn't leak hot water everywhere. A hot water bottle that's well insulated should provide you with a couple of hours worth of heat. </span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Doing this regularly when you have back pain can definitely dull the aches that you have on a regular basis and will provide the relief you need, when you need it.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Seek Professional Assistance</span></b></u></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Not all back pain is easily fixable and it's something that you may want to explore further than just hot and cold compresses. For some, it might be a case of needing prodessional assistance when it comes to back pain. You may want to inquire with somewhere like <a href="http://scoliosisinstitute.com">scoliosisinstitute.com</a> for example.</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are many who will try various methods to help their back pain but if there isn't much joy found in what you've tried so far, then think about seeking medical and professional treatments. You might find that you try something which ends up being exactly what you needed in order to help feel better and experience less pain as well.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Consider Pain Relief</span></b></u></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Pain relief is often needed when things feel really bad. However, it's important to try and minimize the amount of times you use pain relief because it's likely to get addictive if not careful. There can also be some severe side effects if you're not being cognizant about how much or how regularly you're taking it. Putting it simply, try to minimize the amount of pain relief you take.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Stretch Properly In The Morning</span></b></u></span></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In the mornings, you've got the opportunity to fully <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2012/07/classical-stretch-pbs-season-8-giveaway.html" target="_blank">stretch out your body</a> but not everyone does. Usually, many of us will just get out of bed and start the day with a shower or breakfast. However, by stretching out your body, it's going to limber it up for the day's events and hopefully reduce the risk of damage to your body. It can also be great for minimizing back pain.</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Try to practice yoga or pilates in the morning if you can but if that's not possible, then take ten to fifteen minutes and stretch out the body. Start from top to bottom or vice versa depending on what you prefer to do first. By focusing on all areas of the body, you're going to really feel the benefits when you're doing this daily.</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you're struggling to know where you should start, it's worth looking at online resources to find the right moves and poses that will help with the back pain in particular. Make sure you do everything correctly and that you're not compromising your body in any way. Take your time and you many find that putting on some relaxing music will also help too.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><u><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Don't Strain Yourself In Daily Life</span></b></u></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It's important not to strain yourself too much when it comes to back pain. Often enough, doing the simplest of things can usually have the biggest impact. With that being said, take everything slowly and don't put your body under too much pressure. For example, lifting heavy things is something you should only do if you feel like you can carry the item without injuring yourself. It it's too heavy, use the right equipment to lift it properly or get someone else to step in who might be stronger. Don't overexert your body as that will only cause more chance of injury. </span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Straining yourself is easily done and just one occurrence of this could do severe damage to your back if you're not careful. Take your time and be cautious of your body and its limits. None of us are invincible, so it's good to take caution in whatever we are doing.</span></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Dealing with back pain can be a common occurrence for many. It was for me until I started following some of these guidelines, especially the stretching regularly. It's not always something that can be helped or fixed completely but there are definitely plenty of things you can do to look after your back pain and general health. Use these tips to give some relief to your back pain and to take control of it as well.</b><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p>A GAL NEEDS...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-55193971782624199402021-04-07T21:30:00.000-06:002021-04-07T21:30:40.107-06:00Recognizing Hearing Loss In Someone You Know<p> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Most of us will do everything we can to <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2020/12/keeping-fit-while-working-at-home.html">stay healthy</a> and look after our bodies. We go to great lengths to ensure that we're eating the right nutrients, and we gather up as much health-related advice that we can to make sure we're living a healthy lifestyle. Part of the process of looking after yourself involves going to regular appointments and checkups so that a medical professional can evaluate your health markers. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One of the most overlooked parts of our health is actually our hearing. Hearing loss is something that develops very gradually over time, meaning it can be difficult to notice unless we really pay attention. In fact, one of the best ways to tell if you have hearing loss is for someone else to let you know.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Your Loved One May be More Susceptible to Hearing Loss In Certain Conditions!</b></span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="288" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/RGvTfz1r2fXupvmf7-lhu-k6hxiA4s3Yxl7AhYPKlIVJkifIpiM3nOlM5JZe_o9XW0zPJl5elHVO-Ar7lMmXVK8mTfrHiOEMQllK-G-WhiqXLdHDY6b000yXL748Og5lUss75adZ=w432-h288" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="432" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/BfDOqWXWxwo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Image</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If your loved one <a href="https://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/blog/acoustics-education/top-10-noisiest-jobs/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">works in a loud environment,</a>
then they are likely more susceptible to hearing loss unless they are
provided with ample hearing protection by their employer. Hearing loss
is also relatively common in people who engage in contact sports, and
it's also common in seniors. These are the most commons groups of people
who should be concerned about hearing loss.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVR68gcDfRbI3nVJy39G1sw3A213Mc9-wthSMBRJfLtAuGsOh68J0PuNwIx5mf_E6b22XzFYm8O3dtGP4LJKpX6lEaBkpjQnyadLGQQMCi6vUbx-g-GFpvlHK1mvmr8a-9bpvhE6gVXHd/s1175/Industrial+Environment.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="795" data-original-width="1175" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVR68gcDfRbI3nVJy39G1sw3A213Mc9-wthSMBRJfLtAuGsOh68J0PuNwIx5mf_E6b22XzFYm8O3dtGP4LJKpX6lEaBkpjQnyadLGQQMCi6vUbx-g-GFpvlHK1mvmr8a-9bpvhE6gVXHd/w548-h372/Industrial+Environment.png" width="548" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://getstencil.com/app/photos/search/Industrial%20environment" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Image</a></td></tr></tbody></table> However,
encouraging a loved one to have a hearing examination might be
difficult. If you believe that they might have hearing loss as a result
of these factors, then it's a good idea to point out the possibility and
explain why it's best to seek help as soon as possible to lower their
risk of it getting worse. Hearing loss usually can't be reversed, but it
can certainly be managed if you catch it early. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Adjusting to Hearing Aids Can Be Daunting, But You Can Help Your Loved One Through It!</b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using a <a href="https://evolutionhearing.com/blog/how-to-convince-a-family-member-to-wear-a-hearing-aid" target="_blank">hearing aid</a>
can be daunting at first, especially if your loved one has been facing
hearing loss for a very long time. Thankfully, there are lots of ways for
you to help them get accustomed to using hearing aids. If they need
more assistance, then you should be able to contact your local hearing
specialist that helped you pick the hearing aids and ask for some
advice. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In
general, your loved one will want to get used to the hearing aids at
home before they use them outdoors. Hearing aids these days come with
lots of unique features and settings, making them great for all kines of
purposes. In fact, you can even change the settings yourself if you
want to make adjustments.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In
short, friends and loved ones will play a huge role in helping someone
get used to their hearing aids and cope with their hearing loss. Experts
strongly suggest that you look out for a loved one if you suspect that
they may have hearing loss and encourage them to book an appointment
with a specialist. </span><b> </b> </span><br /></span></span></p><br />A GAL NEEDS...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-4319737697243882572021-03-29T21:57:00.005-06:002021-04-24T08:23:35.989-06:00'Fun In The Sun' #Giveaway - $100 to Del Sol<p> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the 'Fun In The Sun' Giveaway, sponsored by Del Sol!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLD6RBLWMadQA5iFg4dfUWR7oH8PIdqF-d-m8JvArbQO9S0sqPyOUbwsoFNetWvDjNzqsQVEZQ2kful02bLtHfsSgVylNA1r5-Z7nU8a_mAWHNatZd1yZoDJzgPNEOQod-JdYPWdfbteI/s918/FunInSun+Bigger.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="918" data-original-width="918" height="585" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLD6RBLWMadQA5iFg4dfUWR7oH8PIdqF-d-m8JvArbQO9S0sqPyOUbwsoFNetWvDjNzqsQVEZQ2kful02bLtHfsSgVylNA1r5-Z7nU8a_mAWHNatZd1yZoDJzgPNEOQod-JdYPWdfbteI/w585-h585/FunInSun+Bigger.png" width="585" /></a></span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"> As you might have read in the previous <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2021/03/fun-in-sun-with-del-sol-review.html " target="_blank">review</a>, I got in on an amazing pre-Easter sale at <a href="https://www.delsol.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Del Sol</a> that was absolutely the best!

you check regularly because that is how the winner will be notified.
Make sure that you aren't a bot---so frustrating! My last giveaway was
invaded by bots and I had to delete oh, so many entries. That is why I
ask for extra info. Bots don't give extra info and it's easy to spot
them. So please fill in the extra info when asked. It is always
something simple--a title, a name, an e-mail. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">As
you know, my giveaways are exclusive here on A GAL NEEDS...so you won't
find them anywhere else. I love that you can have a better chance of
winning with lower entries and less jumping through hoops. Remember,
there is an entry for everyone. If you want to simply enter with the
comment option, you may do so or you can increase your chances of
winning by claiming as many entries as possible. There are 4 daily
entries. So you can come back daily if you so desire. It's all
up to you because in the end, the random draw decides! So good luck to
one and all and let's go have some fun in the sun!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Disclaimer: Sponsor, Del Sol, is responsible for delivery of prize package.

I'm getting out my warm-weather clothing and starting to store away those flannel pj's, the jackets, the fur-lined boot slippers, the fleece lined leggings, all of it. It's going to be good, people! Just soaking in some rays, getting that Vitamin D so many of us are lacking, myself included. Vitamin D is so important for building immunity, making muscles stronger, keeping your mood elevated, suppressing appetite, and keeping your bones strong. I have a special way of knowing when I'm getting my Vitamin D. I wear <a href="https://www.delsol.com/apparel.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Del Sol Color-Changing clothing</a>. They become very colorful in sunlight, so it's easy to remember,<span style="color: #04ff00;"> "when there's color you see, you're getting the D!" </span><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDKjaF8vkz7lr_bYvOgJVUK5qFoFjE4lToOS1KVO5RjdVO985teyWwen34wmyzUW0KGWL9C2zgFm3V-7EAZYsUyUUIqIC2eeo7zk24zKgV2P8JD9FeAT3ECzyRI_vPc__Gnx3nLmW2GNX/s2048/FunInSunPic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="485" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDKjaF8vkz7lr_bYvOgJVUK5qFoFjE4lToOS1KVO5RjdVO985teyWwen34wmyzUW0KGWL9C2zgFm3V-7EAZYsUyUUIqIC2eeo7zk24zKgV2P8JD9FeAT3ECzyRI_vPc__Gnx3nLmW2GNX/w364-h485/FunInSunPic.jpg" width="364" /></a><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMofOr_9hSrUbV3QpAKu17LAQOLlz96nAXQ9Uo1J4lVOx-tgs2JZCG30bghxVv4t0nIGS4GiE6P4Vn7LV7wUkI87f9Mb57pYpVooib-QZ5ZHAEOPhEbRyKNeNYzgPWNHd49i8vMmqf6fLL/s2048/FunInSunPic2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMofOr_9hSrUbV3QpAKu17LAQOLlz96nAXQ9Uo1J4lVOx-tgs2JZCG30bghxVv4t0nIGS4GiE6P4Vn7LV7wUkI87f9Mb57pYpVooib-QZ5ZHAEOPhEbRyKNeNYzgPWNHd49i8vMmqf6fLL/w385-h512/FunInSunPic2.jpg" width="385" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thanks to Del Sol for providing products for review purposes<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">Do you follow <a href="https://www.delsol.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Del Sol</a> somewhere or check their site every now and then? If you don't, you really should! Just today and today only, they are having a 50% off site-wide sale. It's their pre-Easter sale. I don't know what they actually have planned for actual Easter , but this sale is amazing! Even their sale items go for an additional 50% off. They have some extra goodies attached to the deal as well. Get free shipping on all orders over $35, which is standard for Del Sol. AND if you get 3 t-shirts, you get one of their super amazing color-changing canvas bags. These bags are the bomb. So sturdy and roomy. You can use them for grocery shopping, beach trips, gym bags....they are phenomenal! But hey, if you missed it, that's OK, just get on their e-mail list or follow them on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. I'm sure that <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2021/02/amazing-presidents-day-sale-at-del-sol.html" target="_blank">another great sale</a> is just around the corner! </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I actually got in on the sale today. Here are my purchases. I got the whole thing for less than the sale price of the sunnies (shown below). My total was $36.62, so I qualified for the free shipping. I prolly should have gotten 2 more t-shirts, but I already own the canvas bag. However, I'm thinking that I need another one. So maybe that was a mistake.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3A1op-TSrxu3EhHrVDSra44E4rGrWaXsenHTWeHXq9HQ-pC1JSLTFsJR41POEOPhhEwi7mGe-B_cwAIf7ERVlP47RVNNBnkse2a9jsugNLBx3G8vBRRIplaZSlEw1NZoXbTASn08d6H4F/s555/Summer+is+gone.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="488" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3A1op-TSrxu3EhHrVDSra44E4rGrWaXsenHTWeHXq9HQ-pC1JSLTFsJR41POEOPhhEwi7mGe-B_cwAIf7ERVlP47RVNNBnkse2a9jsugNLBx3G8vBRRIplaZSlEw1NZoXbTASn08d6H4F/w347-h395/Summer+is+gone.png" width="347" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZeJQBxybkP1l1tVpF666JQllB7ahDye6qBvjeuEFyN7vFdwaiopHoIu-u-Mpm9H8nADGiP3eZbsW3gVR50uVCLbUXRuEXCFY_SMi9hkGxfiHSxELQ5yKVg7L5L25Fnhq-T-Kv5Gh6crJ/s566/Explore+shirt.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="440" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZeJQBxybkP1l1tVpF666JQllB7ahDye6qBvjeuEFyN7vFdwaiopHoIu-u-Mpm9H8nADGiP3eZbsW3gVR50uVCLbUXRuEXCFY_SMi9hkGxfiHSxELQ5yKVg7L5L25Fnhq-T-Kv5Gh6crJ/w300-h385/Explore+shirt.png" width="300" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"> Let's chat about Del Sol's <a href="https://www.delsol.com/accessories/sunglasses/best-sellers.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amazing sunglasses.</a> They are my absolute favorite sunglasses. Not simply because they change colors in the sun, which is super cool in my book. It's more because these sunglasses are straight up legit! They have a 100% replacement guarantee, they are 100% UVA and UVB protected, polarized, and they enhance color perception and provide high-contrast viewing! You could pay for an italian-owned name brand but you won't have as much fun as you will with Del Sol!

Even more than January 1st, spring, to me, signifies new life, and a new beginning! </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Have you ever considered reinventing your look but were too hesitant to do so? Maybe the reluctance to change could be because of insecurities or just the comfort of the same predictable person that you are to yourself and to everyone else. Hey I know, I feel ya! I'm probably the most predictable person in regard to looks that there is. Once, around 2 years ago, I went and cut my hair to above shoulder length. It was crazy! (For me, at least) And while I enjoyed it and I got a lot of encouragement and compliments. I went back to the same below shoulder length style after it grew out and haven't returned to it since. It takes courage to reinvent yourself -- and it takes a lot of effort!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-e5a1c957-7fff-4167-fd79-8213ddcf44bf" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiBcatnPaKVD39kkYeFxJXp4xstWyDFHBQ9v3SY4ghc2HTjoIlh8ccdkWkL6AU75etkz8rbnWpf_AdXNv8YxojWWmzaVSEBZBgVf4gxYvR1EpqMubZK9M3dpNmLY24y3dX6HdbIDpQ89W/s1173/Reinvent+yourself.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="1173" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiBcatnPaKVD39kkYeFxJXp4xstWyDFHBQ9v3SY4ghc2HTjoIlh8ccdkWkL6AU75etkz8rbnWpf_AdXNv8YxojWWmzaVSEBZBgVf4gxYvR1EpqMubZK9M3dpNmLY24y3dX6HdbIDpQ89W/w532-h356/Reinvent+yourself.png" width="532" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is a partnered post - affiliate and non-affiliate links are added for convenience</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><span></span></span><p></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6e703ea6-7fff-3755-d450-1dbe75d567c5" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, you may be bored of ticking along in the current state you're in, and you may be done with ignoring </span><a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2015/05/the-world-of-figure-competition-one.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">your passions </span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">for the passions of others.It might be your time to live your life strong and hard, and if you are feeling daring, then it's time to step up to the plate and make the changes that you have been waiting for some time to make.

Could you push yourself to your fullest potential? You should make a point of learning everything that you can to better yourself, even if this means that you take your sweet time to do it.

You only get one shot at life and it should push you to being your very best.</span></span></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-e5a1c957-7fff-4167-fd79-8213ddcf44bf" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><u>Your Look</u></span> - </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jeans and t-shirts are great and leggings are even more comfy. But sometimes you just need to update your wardrobe. I recently talked on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMoAl3SBBvR/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> about acquiring pieces that speak to you. Whether that is thrifted, eco friendly, fair trade, or colors that you love. As you acquire pieces that you love, they will naturally assimilate into your wardrobe in a way that is easy for you to assemble outfits without effort.

The fear of getting covid put me into even more of a healthy mindset and I wanted to make sure I was doing all I could to protect my health. The first time was to a conventional doctor and the 2nd time was with a medical office with a naturopathic emphasis. It was interesting to receive the diagnosis' of each practice. With the first diagnosis, my health was generally good, but the doctor recommended that I go on a low-dose statin drug. The second diagnosis was nothing of the kind. I was given a clean bill of health. And that is what I thought. I don't even know what was going on with the first diagnosis. I feel great and my heart rate is good, and my weight is...OK, my weight could be better, but still....I don't feel it warrants going on a statin drug! Moral of story: Know your body and get a second opinion if you have doubts. But it's important to get an annual check-up, no matter how young or old you are! It's far easier to re-invent your health and your life if you know where you are!</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-e5a1c957-7fff-4167-fd79-8213ddcf44bf" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span><br /></p>A GAL NEEDS...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-1560644065571375292021-03-24T20:53:00.005-06:002021-03-28T23:30:38.967-06:00Tips That Will Help You To Cook Healthier - Starting Today<p> </p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-15967aec-7fff-ddff-6bcf-dcde0000b7ca" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you want to try and eat healthier?

For some people, planning out meals means writing down a menu or even a shopping list for the week. For others, it may be something as simple as having a few sticky notes with things like “pasta night” or “taco night”. Either way, it doesn’t matter what your process is because it helps to have a plan so that you can figure out what you want to make. This will help you to set yourself up for success, and it will also help you to avoid going for a takeaway just because there’s nothing in you fancy.</span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="468" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ozd-NrFgb2JVNDLJKmI-F_i0RExPIBPfZec5aFIq95fCvKB-253TaCocMneOMgFmk7oioxBAM3fNO7Em0XGku3WEdn_b2-rnmL3d2DaNEgBiQZkevz6_ogFllkSiPZSYqsZwpVL8" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="624" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a partnered post.

This means that over 80% of people are not getting enough fresh produce. At the end of the day, fruit and vegetables are very rich in antioxidants, and they are also very rich in fibre and minerals too. It’s highly recommended that you eat around 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of vegetables a day. This can seem difficult, but when you think about cooking, you just need to make sure that your fresh produce is the star of the show. This may mean that you need to make a fruit smoothie in the morning or that you need to have a big salad for lunch. You might also want to stuff a squash for dinner, or use vegetables as noodles. You can do this by using a spiraliser.

At the end of the day, whole grains such as brown rice or even bulgur wheat are ideal as they keep the bran intact. This means that they have much more fibre and vitamin B. They’re also packed with magnesium, zinc and various other nutrients. If you can, you need to try quinoa, oats, wheat pasta and barley as your side dish. If you are a fan of soup, then you can easily incorporate this into them.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mix up the Protein</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meat is a fantastic source of protein, but the problem is that it is usually served in very large portions. A serving of protein is around 3oz cooked, or around 4oz if it’s raw. At the end of the day, this isn’t much more than a pack of cards. You don’t need to go hungry though because you can easily fill up your plate with healthy fruit and vegetables. There are tons of vegetarian proteins out there if you want to add more protein to your existing diet.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cook with Flavor</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Believe it or not, some of the healthiest diets in the world are actually</span><a href="https://www.eatingwell.com/article/16372/8-ways-to-follow-the-mediterranean-diet-for-better-health/" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mediterranean</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and Japanese. They are very rich in vegetables, and they also tend to skip out on packaged foods. If you don’t want your food to be bland, then you can easily use spices such as curry powder. You can also use herbs such as basil or thyme. Limiting your salt intake is also a very good thing to do. Thai cuisine and Greek salads are very good for you and they are very easy to make at home. If you haven’t explored the idea of cooking foods like this, then you will certainly want to give it a go if you can.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep your Portions Reasonable</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even healthy foods, when you pile them onto your plate, are not always good for you. You don’t need to measure out every single bite that you put in your mouth, but you do need to have a good idea of what a healthy portion is before you even begin to plate up your meal. You also need to make sure that you are not eating more than you intended.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add Some Healthy Fats</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One misconception that a lot of people have is that fat is bad for you. This isn’t true. Low-fat diets are not always healthy for you. Fat is very filling, and it also helps you to absorb things such as Vitamin A, E, D and K. On top of this, it tastes very good. If you can, you need to try and opt for unsaturated fats. This can include olive oil, avocado or even nuts.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Limit Sugar or Salt</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most people eat way more sugar or salt than they should every day. If you have too much of either, this can put you at a huge level of risk. You may find that you experience high blood pressure and that you also experience heart disease too. If possible, you need to eat less than 6 teaspoons of sugar a day. This includes maple syrup, honey, brown sugar and white sugar. Check the labels on your food and also make a special effort to use any sweeteners sparingly whenever you cook. For salt, you have to make sure that you don’t eat more than 2,300mg of sodium a day. Sodium tends to be in processed foods the most, so make the effort to avoid foods like this if you want to reduce your intake. This will help you to be healthy, and it will also make it much easier for you to live a much healthier lifestyle. If you need some help with your salt intake, then cook from scratch and use spices so that you can add flavour to your food without reaching for the sodium. This will help you to be way healthier in no time at all.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> </span></p><br /><br />A GAL NEEDS...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-78778300694709284732021-03-22T22:48:00.006-06:002021-04-12T20:50:59.583-06:00Among Us + #MyPostMonday Linky - The Week's Best Original Content<p> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was talking to one of the new learning assistants that joined our staff this year, post-pandemic. She is young, unattached to anyone right now, has great goals for her future, and frankly, is one of America's great hopes. I thought we were going to have her around awhile. But today she said, "I'll be leaving after this school year. And actually, you couldn't pay me enough to stick around." It was said in semi-jest, lots of smiles and laughs to go around, and I said, "Good decision, get out while you're young!" Apparently the antics of the middle-school grade level students aren't for her. What I didn't tell her is that these students energize me each and every day! I love being there! But obviously, it isn't for everyone!<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the games that many in our home room like to play is called "Among Us". Ever heard of it? I finally downloaded it on my phone to see just how to play it. Although I haven't played it more than a couple times, the gist of it is to prowl around a big house and look for the imposters or fake people. They hide in unlikely places. You get lots of points and kudos if you find and terminate an imposter. If you end up killing someone who is a genuine player, not an impersonator, you get docked.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">It reminds me somewhat of society today. We have all kinds of people here in our country. Some are the kindest, sweetest people, who wouldn't hurt a fly and then there are the not-so-nice people, the n'er do wells, who would just as soon shank you than have compassion. But they blend in and act the part until something comes along that brings out their true colors. It's really hard, sometimes, to distinguish who our true friends are vs. the users and abusers. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Not too long ago, on March 16th, there was a young man in Atlanta who was mingling among people and deemed normal...until he murdered 8 people. Six were Asian. And now we are awakened to another group of people who are systematically victims of hate crimes and prejudice. I was really saddened to be made aware that these are people that are discriminated against more and more. Did you know that it's rare for an Asian to get <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-finds-yale-illegally-discriminates-against-asians-and-whites-undergraduate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">admittance to Yale University? </a>They are almost always bypassed because of Affirmative Action. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once more, I ask myself how did we get to this place? And then I realize that years ago, there were those who were warning us about our society. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">In 1975, Spencer W. Kimball, then-president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in an address: "When we see the depravity of numerous people of our own society in their determination to force upon people vulgar presentations, filthy communications, unnatural practices, we wonder, has Satan reached forth with his wicked, evil hand to pull into his forces the people of this earth? Do we not have enough good people left to stamp out the evil which threatens our world? Why do we continue to compromise with evil and why do we continue to tolerate sin?" That was almost 50 years ago.He died in November, 1985. I think he would be appalled at what has since transpired in our nation and world.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is that what we did, starting back in 1975 or even before? Did we turn a blind eye to the hatred, the filthiness, the moral decay around us? Did we do anything about it? Did we place our support under people who would stand up for right? Or did we tolerate a little bit here, a little bit there?<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the greatest delayers of evil was Ronald Reagan. His years in Hollywood saved America for awhile. When he was the president of the Screen Actors Guild in Hollywood (1947 - 1952), he was appalled at the abundance of actors, writers, directors, producers and SAG member who had socialist and communist agendas. Their plan was to infiltrate American film and television industries with subtle scenes and plots in the media, designed to decay the moral structure of American society. In this way, they would be able to slowly gain momentum and influence and eventually take over the governance of the American people. Reagan was able to rid Hollywood of many of those prominent and scheming men and women.

It's
all about posts from Crafts to Camping, Wellness to
Wealth, Fashion to Food, and whatever else is on the brain! I
open up with a post of my own and then follow it up with a linky of the
week's top original blog posts! It's all about what the writer thinks,
believes, and
knows--in other words, they are active, writing blogs. If
I happen to find a great original, non-sponsored post, I'll link it up
and share
it with you
here and on Twitter via the #MyPostMonday hashtag! I can miss some amazing posts, but I don't want to!
So, in addition,
if you'd like to link up yourself, you can do that too! I'll visit your
site, comment, promote and publicize(Affiliate links welcome)</span></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></span></span></span></b></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p>

It is important to know that you need a license to practice this, but usually, it requires more of an investment over rigorous training towards qualifications.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nutritional Therapy</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are at a crossroads in life in terms of diet.

And nutritional therapy is something that is about using science to back it up. The fact of the matter is that everybody seems to be some sort of nutritional expert these days, especially if you look on social media! If you have an interest in eating well or helping people to live better lives through their diet, this could be a great choice. Studying to be a nutritional therapist is a straightforward approach, and it also gives you the opportunity to fix your own health. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><br /></span></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wellness Apps</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are an enthusiastic blogger, you may use it as an opportunity to put across your thoughts and feelings in terms of health. There are so many blogs that do this, but if you want to go one step further, and how you have technical skills you can start to use your own abilities to help others through an app. Many apps help people even in terms of wellness or using natural ingredients. And you can bring it all together with a blog to create a fully-fledged health and wellness business.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Self-Care Coaching</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the best things you can do to help others is to focus on </span><a href="https://fredandfar.com/blogs/ff-blog/5-ways-self-love-and-self-care-will-transform-your-career" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">self-care</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

It's really a lovely place (except that the horses go off the maintained bark trails that are meant for horses, and go onto unmaintained animal and walking trails, destroying the delicate eco-growth, which makes it hard to keep a decent pair of walking shoes😫). So, other than that it's lovely.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was earlier in the morning and that is the time when we run into groups of moms working out before school and work. They are chattering as they run or walk, full of pre-workout, caffeine or both. You can hear their excited banter from far away, signaling their energetic approach. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">And since I use the time as a peaceful, reflective time, I usually avoid running into such groups and take an alternate route. This morning was no different, I heard their approach, I took a different trail. But I still overheard a couple of sentences that one woman was telling her walking companion. It went like this: "....at least you know you did everything you could. You didn't do anything wrong. So going into it, you don't need to feel guilt......."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought it was so interesting that one woman was trying to make another friend try to feel better about something she was dealing with. I don't know if it resonated with the woman she was talking to, but it sure resonated with me. I applied what she said to myself and took it literally. It felt like she was saying those words to me.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">How many times have I felt guilt, not because of what I did, but what someone was putting on me regardless of whether or not I deserved it? Regardless of whether or not I was trying my best, regardless of what was going on in my life. It's been so many times that I can't even count. And the thing is, I've internalized it. I've felt the burden of it. I have felt so bad and my sense of worth has been diminished. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here I am, still trying to figure things out, trying to interpret some of my actions and where they came from. Somewhere deep within my unconscious being, a probable self-defense or coping mode had been activated. So embedded that I haven't even recognized it for what it really is.......until recently. I've come to understand what some people with strong personalities, who are close to me have done. They have set me up to be a scapegoat, someone to blame things on, someone to treat poorly because they have seen it done to me in the past. So even though I have done nothing wrong, they like to blame me for things. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='550' height='400' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyHjTKJrFvz1DCN_vy9aBoRTAP5IKDJabkjVHDk2wL5HoHkW0OdsLelU0zjJJ-3ENoB0VSku_IWfGXFlPKjZg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm so glad that I have come to the realization that I don't have to play that game anymore. I can disengage myself without drama, the hurt feelings, the questioning of my value as a person. I don't live in that house anymore and that isn't my stuff. I can shed the guilt, the blame and I can forgive myself and those around me. I can walk with my head up and not look back. I can now start attracting those that value me for what I now know I am. Watch out world, I'm coming!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's never too late to shed old myths that you've been taught to believe about yourself. But the sooner you realize what it is you have been believing about yourself and feeling guilty about what those trigger people have been loading on you, the more effective you will become and more of an inspiration to those around you.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You'll become the light that you always knew you were!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><span><span><b><span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><b><span><span style="color: #a64d79;">Today is "My Post Monday!", a curation of my picks of the week's best original content.

But the rewards for finding a time to eat together at least a couple times a week can pay off big dividends. Dinner
presents a fantastic platform to measure how well your children are navigating
their teenage years. Studies have shown that the time you spend together with
your kids is essential in reducing their chance of falling into conditions like

flourish, it’s essential to have a physically and emotionally safe space where
every member feels secured and protected. Where else can you have that than
your home? Children particularly need that safe place to re-energize and get going
once again. Regardless of how independent they become after they begin having
sleepovers and going to extracurricular activities like sports and other
programs, they'll always need a home to return to. The home offers a safe spot
where they can be themselves entirely and comfortably connect with the entire

seem, picking the appropriate family health plan for your family is vital to
protecting them. Choosing the right family plan is key to guaranteeing that
even in your absence, your family will have some level of financial protection
to cater for basic things like food and healthcare, mortgage, and care for the
aged or disabled loved ones. You need solid leads to figure out which insurance
agency is reliable and explore their products to find one that suits your
family's needs. More serious health issues require more specialized coverage
and could even require legal assistance. Some health issues can be the result
of former employment with hazardous working conditions. For instance,

Kids Worldwide</span></a><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;"> have suggested that an average of 2,200 children suffer fatal
home injuries each year. Take the time to examine the various rooms in your
home and eliminate any potential hazard source to secure them. Establishing
control over the health and safety of your home is key to protecting your
family. Make a consistent effort to remove any potential hazards. If possible,
replace hazardous products with safer ones. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;"> <b><span style="font-size: medium;">5. <span style="font-size: large;">Prepare For Unexpected Emergencies</span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being prepared for the unexpected will give you and your family more confidence that you can overcome problems with ease. These emergencies could be a power outage or natural disaster (or both at the same time). But, other emergencies can happen outside and around the house as much as inside it. Make sure you teach your kids (and partner) to be safe outdoors to avoid injury and accidents, even if it is as close to home as your front lawn. Make a point to <a href="https://lambergoodnow.com/" target="_blank">learn more</a> about potential personal injuries so you know your options and, hopefully, have the funds to pay for any legal fees you may have to get appropriate compensation.</span></span><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /></span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Make sure to have a plan for unexpected emergencies. Have a designated meeting place in case people get separated, have a 24-hour survival bag ready and accessible for everyone, store extra food and water in extra available space. A great place to store emergency food and water supplies is under beds and in closets.</span></span> <br /></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: black;">Remember, all
families are different. All families need safety, nurturing, love, and a place

So many people are in the same position that you are in right now! But believe it or not, there are a number of reasons why you should try and work out before you clock in. Here are some very persuasive reasons to give some serious consideration to doing just that.</span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Give Yourself An Energy Boost</span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Coffee shops have sprung up on every single corner, or so it seems. It's safe to say that it's now easier than ever for you to grab one on the go. Research has shown time and time again that exercise gives you energy. If you are able to start your day on just 30 minutes of <a href="http://www.agalneeds.com/2020/12/keeping-fit-while-working-at-home.html" target="_blank">exercise,</a> then you will soon find that you have a much better wake-up call when compared to having a cup of coffee. If you want this, you will soon find that you are able to wake up more and that you can have the best start to the day. If you are not a confident runner, then you're not alone there either. Go early, stick to the quieter streets and build your stamina.</span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggjAz_ma93Ttbp32kqvCvANG-DX3pzHGAhxPyxwrWh88cNAfdxqxTraDCv_GGXXc8GBZy4YWlcew2dYiWkBeHwAhbDTW4CvfraYytaZjIWn461yQIzXJrr75cZzlV4AArGeAwFnGra4PMS/s620/guy+running.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="620" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggjAz_ma93Ttbp32kqvCvANG-DX3pzHGAhxPyxwrWh88cNAfdxqxTraDCv_GGXXc8GBZy4YWlcew2dYiWkBeHwAhbDTW4CvfraYytaZjIWn461yQIzXJrr75cZzlV4AArGeAwFnGra4PMS/w550-h366/guy+running.png" width="550" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/adventure-athlete-athletic-daylight-235922/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Image</a> This is a partnered post, however all thoughts are my own.

You may also find that you have a lower chance of developing cardiovascular disease. It's very easy for you to rush out of the house without eating breakfast, but if you can try to stop this, then you will surely benefit. If you're just not hungry enough, then a good run should be able to help you to work up an appetite.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lower Stress</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">Another huge benefit of exercising is that you can lower stress by a huge amount. Studies have shown time and time again that those who exercise on a workday tend to be much happier and they also experience way less stress. Stress in this day and age can be a chronic issue to say the least. The main reason for this is because stress can wreak havoc on both your mind and your body. It's also the precursor to depression and heart disease too. If you are able to eliminate or even reduce this, then you will surely benefit.

It's the day in and day out work that you put in that will lead to your experiencing bigger job opportunities, so the more effort you can put into every single day, the better! One way for you to do this would be for you to <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZcxD6A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">work out. </a>When you do that, you will soon see that you will have more energy, and that your drive continues across every aspect of your life. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">Getting It Done</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">For me, the earlier in the day I can get a daily goal accomplished, the less I have to worry about having to complete the task later on in the day, perhaps when energy is waning and motivation is lower. It's really hard to stick with something when other priorities seem to crop up during the day, as they always seem to do. If I have a set time to <a href="https://amzn.to/3rRaQKd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">exercise every morning</a>, I can be done. I will then have the ability to deal with other things that happen with the added benefit of the extra energy boost, the enhanced ability of my food helping me with the brain power I need, the lowered stress I feel because of the time I made for exercise. And when it eventually becomes a habit that occurs every single day, those benefits will increase tenfold.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;">Increased Self-Confidence</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">Another invaluable benefit that exercise can provide is the extra self-confidence that you will gain, not only from the better muscle tone and improved skin, but because of the sense of accomplishment you feel when you make better decisions, perform better at work, and have more focus. And by the way, running isn't the only work-out option. Put some variety into your workouts. Try <a href="https://amzn.to/3aWG37Q">yoga</a> or pilates one day, kick-boxing or swimming another day. It's the fact that you are getting your body moving. It's an all-around win/win and a habit that will definitely lead you to an overall better quality of life.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPT2al-td4d_sxmstiOmETsZtNiVrf8zioaTv9v7TWNAlyawTmUjjwICryVbT7oH11tIVjtsa75Q4zoh2JD0GMlQwAfVAxiHYFrkMvkSZtcHn8VBu4UuZqjkjlI2XuPmLhoo4pejqbZ8xH/s799/girl+doing+yoga.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="713" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPT2al-td4d_sxmstiOmETsZtNiVrf8zioaTv9v7TWNAlyawTmUjjwICryVbT7oH11tIVjtsa75Q4zoh2JD0GMlQwAfVAxiHYFrkMvkSZtcHn8VBu4UuZqjkjlI2XuPmLhoo4pejqbZ8xH/w471-h528/girl+doing+yoga.png" width="471" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://getstencil.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">image</a></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><br /> </span></span> </span></span> </span></span> <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </span></span><br /></span></b></span></p>A GAL NEEDS...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-25519104156969397582021-02-05T17:14:00.002-07:002021-02-14T21:21:35.477-07:00Book Review: Surge On Like A River<p> </p>

The translation was generally very well done, maybe a bit
ambiguous in some parts, especially since the culture in India is very different from
America. But the wisdom, wit and humor from Ms. Bhaskar is spot
on. In fact, she reminds me a bit of Nora Ephron when she wrote, <a href="https://amzn.to/3jn8Tlr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I Feel Bad About My Neck.</a> It was a great read in order to get a feel for
the differences in cultures and appreciate the women there. It was great
to see that in many ways, though different, our cultures are concerned
about the same things! I loved the thoughts about mother/daughter relationships. There are some real gems of advice for that. There are some great observations about the seemingly never-ending quest for beauty among women. In fact, it seems that women in India are just about the same in that regard and Ms. Bhaskar reminds us that beauty can be found in so many different versions of what makes a woman who she is. She addresses the plight of the elderly in India, women in higher education, how to use spare time, love, and so much more. I went away feeling like I could identify with and learn so much from women in India, especially through Bharathy Bhaskar's well-trained and very keen vision! It was a nice change from the historical fiction that usually takes up my reading time! <br /></span></b></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><span><a name='more'></a></span><u><br /></u></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>About the Author</u></b></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkbRLxLWKXNhyphenhyphenvuGJhjprMoal5sXWAeLmZys6RRzSrn03BaF2Q5SqfHMX_-UJfh-aXrPcQrlJsJ4b3Quj4L-YQeGOJwuRBCy-gIMU7uWBGYZ6u47aG8mYQKooqgnfoNYqbMOPcLZ2r2j1K/s225/download.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkbRLxLWKXNhyphenhyphenvuGJhjprMoal5sXWAeLmZys6RRzSrn03BaF2Q5SqfHMX_-UJfh-aXrPcQrlJsJ4b3Quj4L-YQeGOJwuRBCy-gIMU7uWBGYZ6u47aG8mYQKooqgnfoNYqbMOPcLZ2r2j1K/w200-h200/download.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Bharathi Baskar is a Tamil Orator who is popular for her humorous debate talk shows called Pattimandram.com, telecasted on Sun TV.
