can
hear God whisper

in the wind,
as He Caresses the Beautiful
Leaves
ever willing to sway
and dance and bend.
Then they
fall
in Love with the Earth
from which they
came,
and cast their Beauty
down
upon the Sacred Ground.
Such is Love,
in the Language

from God Above.

Yes,
God comes to us
in a
gentle breeze,
and on Rays

Golden Sun,
  keeping our Hearts warm
with Love.

.

Oh Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength,
not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy –
myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when Life fades, as the fading sunset
my Spirit may come to you
without shame.

your tired and worried mind.

It is a Spiritual experience.
This
 the Word of God
tells us so.
.

“So what gets in the way of our knowing who we really are?
What untethers us from our truly infinite and Spiritual nature?
The long answer to such questions is complex and multi-layered. But since this is a blog post, I’ll go with the short answer.

The number one thing that makes us forget our True nature as Spiritual Beings is thought, or more specifically, our fascination with our thoughts. From the Time we are very young, we devote most of our Life’s energy and attention to our thoughts. And Truth be told, most of them are not that interesting, or helpful.”

How to Inactivate Coronavirus
by Tim Newman
medicalnewstoday.com
click here to read more

Agents, including hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and sodium hypochlorite (a chemical in bleach), quickly and successfully inactivate coronaviruses.

For instance, the authors write that h]ydrogen peroxide was effective with a concentration of 0.5% and an incubation time of 1 minute.”

After assessing the evidence, the authors conclude:

“Surface disinfection with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite or 62–71% ethanol significantly reduces coronavirus infectivity on surfaces within 1 min[ute] exposure time.”

Conversely, solutions of a biocide called benzalkonium chloride produced conflicting results; and chlorhexidine digluconate, which people use as a topical antiseptic, was ineffective.

The authors write that “[t]ransmission in healthcare settings can be successfully prevented when appropriate measures are consistently performed.” Handwashing, in particular, is critical.

They explain how, in Taiwan, “installing hand wash stations in the emergency department was the only infection control measure which was significantly associated with the protection from healthcare workers from acquiring the [SARS coronavirus].”

Although the studies the authors summarize in this review did not investigate COVID-19, they believe that the results are also likely to be relevant to this latest coronavirus. All the human coronaviruses that the research had investigated seem to be susceptible to the same chemical agents.

Another new study conducted by researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine has found that a common dental item can inactivate human coronaviruses: mouthwash and oral rinses. 

For the study, the results of which were published in the Journal of Medical Virology, researchers tested various oral and nasopharyngeal rinses — which included a 1% solution of baby shampoo, a neti pot, peroxide sore-mouth cleansers, and mouthwashes — to determine how well they inactivated human coronaviruses, namely 229e, a strain that can cause the common cold.  

Human volunteers were not used in the study; the 229e coronaviruses were grown in human liver cells in the lab before being immersed in the various solutions tested as part of the study.

The baby shampoo solution, “which is often used by head and neck doctors to rinse the sinuses,” the researchers noted in a news release regarding the findings, was particularly effective; the solution inactivated “greater than 99.9% of human coronavirus after a two-minute contact time,” they said. 

The mouthwash and oral rinses tested —  which included Listerine Antiseptic, Orajel Antiseptic Rinse, and Crest Pro‐Health, among others — were also efficacious, they found: “Many inactivated greater than 99.9% of virus after only 30 seconds of contact time and some inactivated 99.99% of the virus after 30 seconds.” 

USING MOUTHWASH AFTER EXERCISE HAS THIS BIZARRE EFFECT ON BLOOD PRESSURE, STUDY CLAIMS

More specifically, researchers “used a test to replicate the interaction of the virus in the nasal and oral cavities with the rinses and mouthwashes,” as the nasal and oral cavities are thought to be main points of entry for human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19. Though the researchers didn’t specifically test SARS-CoV-2 in the study, the novel virus is genetically similar to the other human coronaviruses tested, leading the researchers to hypothesize the results could be similar

A strain of human coronavirus was mixed with “baby shampoo solutions, various peroxide antiseptic rinses and various brands of mouthwash,” allowing the solutions to interact with the virus for different amounts of time, including 30 seconds, one minute, and two minutes. The solutions were then diluted to “prevent further virus inactivation,” they wrote

“To measure how much virus was inactivated, the researchers placed the diluted solutions in contact with cultured human cells. They counted how many cells remained alive after a few days of exposure to the viral solution and used that number to calculate the amount of human coronavirus that was inactivated as a result of exposure to the mouthwash or oral rinse that was tested,” per the news release

COVID-19 TRANSMISSION COULD BE PREVENTED BY MOUTHWASH, STUDY SUGGESTS

Lead study author Craig Meyers, a distinguished professor of microbiology and immunology and obstetrics and gynecology, said the results show the amount of virus (viral load) in an infected person’s mouth could be reduced by using these common over-the-counter products, possibly helping to reduce the spread of the novel virus. 

“Methods to reduce transmission are needed,” Meyers said in a statement. “The products we tested are readily available and often already part of people’s daily routines.”

The team’s findings bolster past research that also looked at how oral rinses and mouthwashes may be able to reduce the viral load of human coronaviruses. For instance, a study published in the scientific journal Function also concluded mouthwash could play a role in preventing the transmission of the novel coronavirus

Additionally, a more recent study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases in August came to a similar conclusion. Meyers said that his findings add to this research, noting his team evaluated the solutions at longer contact times in addition to studying over-the-counter products and nasal rinses that were not evaluated in the other study.

However, Toni Meister of Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who led the study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, warned the findings do not mean mouthwash on its own can treat COVID-19. Indeed: “Gargling with a mouthwash cannot inhibit the production of viruses in the cells,” Meister said at the time, “but could reduce the viral load in the short term where the greatest potential for infection comes from, namely in the oral cavity and throat — and this could be useful in certain situations, such as at the dentist or during the medical care of COVID-19 patients.”

Meyers echoed this sentiment

“People who test positive for COVID-19 and return home to quarantine may possibly transmit the virus to those they live with,” said Meyers. “Certain professions including dentists and other health care workers are at a constant risk of exposure. Clinical trials are needed to determine if these products can reduce the amount of virus COVID-positive patients or those with high-risk occupations may spread while talking, coughing or sneezing. Even if the use of these solutions could reduce transmission by 50%, it would have a major impact.”

Forever.

​The new year is often a wonderful time to reflect and consider new goals to support individual improvement. A common New Year’s resolution is one that focuses on physical health and wellness. However, one’s mental health is just as important as one’s physical health. 2020 was a difficult year that impacted many of us emotionally, financially, socially and mentally. That’s why it is especially important to check-in on how you are doing and coping with the many changes in our world – and the beginning of a new year is a great time to do just that.

This year consider prioritizing mental health similar to physical health by doing a “check-up” on your mental wellness. You may find a need to adjust or change some things in your life that can help improve your mental health. Some people might find they need some help from a mental health professional for themselves (or a family member) to process and develop strategies to better cope and deal with life’s many current challenges. Let’s go over some of the benefits of doing that, factors to consider when choosing a mental health professional and some other resources you might find helpful.      

Here are some benefits a mental health care professional can provide you:

  • Assistance with identifying and defining steps that can help you achieve goals.
  • Help with identifying strategies to improve communication with others and your relationships.
  • Help developing coping strategies to better deal with difficult life circumstances.
  • Help learning stress management and problem-solving skills.
  • Help gaining a better understanding of emotions and how to express them in healthy ways.
  • Help addressing and improving problematic behaviors interfering with school, work and relationships.
  • Provides parents with tools to support their children in overcoming difficult life circumstances.
  • Offers a space for people to talk about their feelings and experiences without judgment and with a fresh perspective.

When choosing a mental health professional, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Consider speaking with your child’s school guidance counselor for referrals in your local area.
  • Get a referral from a trusted friend who had a positive experience with a provider.
  • Ask questions of potential providers to determine if they are a good fit, such as their modality, training and approach.
  • Contact insurance to ask for a list of mental health providers covered under your insurance.
  • If financial barriers are present, consider contacting local universities or clinics to determine if they have staff who would be willing to work on a sliding scale.  
  • Consider workshops and trainings for parents that focus on teaching new parenting skills to help improve your relationship with your child and strategies to deal with difficult child behaviors. Boys Town offers parenting classes through Common Sense Parenting®: 

There are many great in-person resources available for you to access. Internet and phone applications also offer an amazing array of resources on managing mental health. Here are some websites and apps to consider:

Here are websites where you can read about some reviewed apps that are recommended to help support mental health:

This year give yourself the gift of positive mental health by making it a priority for you and your loved ones. We wish you a blessed and healthy 2021!

The Sweetest Gift You Can Ever Give is the Gift of Yourself

One simple gift is the gift of listening. Listening is a silent form of flattery. Maybe it is listening to a small child who wants to show you a treasure they find absolutely fascinating. When my mother was in the nursing home, I learned how very much the residents treasured having someone really listen to them. Most people listen waiting for a gap in the conversation so they can speak or listen for just enough information to present their point of view. How many times do we really focus and listen. Are you ever guilty of stopping listening to your spouse because you have been together so long you think you already know what they are going to say?

Giving of our time and focused attention is one of the sweetest gifts we can ever give.

Another gift we can all give is writing a simple 2 line note. Walt Whitman was born in the early 1800’s and he was struggling to get anyone to pay any attention to his poetry. One day a little 2 line note arrived. It simply said, “I am not blind to the wit and wisdom of the Leaves of Grass. I greet you At the beginning of a great career.” Signed Ralph Waldo Emerson. I’ll bet Whitman kept that note. We all keep those special notes. Maybe we keep them in a scrapbook or drawer or even a box but we keep them. Leaves of Grass was published in 1855 when Whitman was 36 years old. 36 in 1855 was much later in life than our 36 in 2009. I greet you at the beginning of a great career.

Who is it in your life right now who deserves that little 2 line note from you? Write down the names of 3 people who deserve a note of encouragement, inspiration, or appreciation from you?

Giving of yourself to help others feel good is a gift of sharing Gods love. We are the children of a loving God. He is our father and he wants the best for us.

He sat in my soul and guided me as a single mother, many times with not enough money to feed the 3 of us. He gave me wisdom to share with those two adorable little boys which I had absolutely no way of knowing. My own childhood had been the total opposite of Ward and June Cleaver. How many of you remember the show Leave it to Beaver? I gave those boys love and encouragement and self confidence that I had never experienced. God did it for me. There is no other answer. They are wonderful men, great daddy’s and loving husbands. With Gods help the chain of abuse was broken. I am so deeply grateful.

It is said that the vibration in the room raised simply by having Mother Theresa walk into the room. Serotonin is the chemical in the brain which is the “feel good” chemical. It is a known fact that the serotonin increases in the brain of a person doing a kind deed for another. Not only that but the serotonin increases in the brain of the person receiving the act of kindness and it is even a known fact that it increases in the brains of people watching an act of kindness.

Do something good for someone today with the absolute knowing that they could never repay you. Spread Gods love by doing kind acts for others just for the joy of doing a kind act.

Giving is all about sharing the gifts God has given you.

We all have gifts. Whether it is art as in making cards or pictures, or cooking or music or reading or kind acts to other people. We all have gifts to share. The most cherished gift is a gift of the heart. A gift of yourself.

When I was a broke student secretary in college I worked for Dr. Reilly. Doc was brilliant beyond belief. He carried his Phi Beta Kappa key on his rosary every day. Docs honors filled several pages of a vita. With that many accolades, he could have been arrogant and egotistical but he was not. He was humble. When I went above and beyond my hours to do some special task for him, he knew I could not be paid. His hobby was growing long stem red roses. I knew after each of those tasks I would come in the next morning to a long stem red rose on my desk. He had his special way of saying thank you. I treasured those roses. A gift of appreciation and kindness.

There are so many ways we can give.

I truly believe God brought me here for a reason. I had every argument in the world why I could not make the move from Steamboat. He gently but firmly said “Castle Rock” for a year. Despite every reason why it should not have been possible, I am here in exactly the size house I wanted, the exact location, the exact price and the exact timing.

God opened to me a love for speaking and writing which I had never known or experienced. Apparently He was waiting for me to be ready to receive and share this gift. What gift is God waiting to open for you? What gift do you have to share? He gave each and every one of us gifts. It is like the talents in the Bible. He expects us to develop and multiply those gifts.

I am so blessed and so grateful for my life.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks for the abundance in your life and you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law. The more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.

Give of yourself, give of your gifts and be grateful to God for all of your blessings.

26 years experience as a successful entrepreneur, post-graduate degrees in Communication and Alternate Dispute Resolution, and a proven track record as a teacher, coach and mentor, revealed the success formula.

A More Complete Picture of Reality / How Parents Can Help Children of the Pandemic Cope / School Calendar 2020-21

Precious Memories
invite us to turn the clock back
to our days growing up,
when LOVE was there,
and we felt
it could be here
for an Eternity!

To feel our Eternal Reality,
we need to
silence our thoughts.

Our True Reality can be perceived
through our Loving Heart
and peaceful mind.
Deep Meditation
and Prayer

enable us
to reveal what is truly
Real.

“. . . when thou Prayest,
enter into thy closet
and when thou has shut thy door,
Pray to thy Father
which is in secret.”
Matthew 6:5-6

Whenever we are thinking,
we are not mentally at the place
where we are thinking.
Our thoughts
take us to another
time and another
place.

Religion, Faith, Hand, Light, Trust, God

This web of illusion
we call Life and Living,
can be placed into a better perspective
when we cross over
to the boundaries
of Spiritual awareness.
.
Explanations of the Infinite
cannot be attained using
finite means.

Within the illusion of physical reality,
it is simply not possible
to truly understand
anything.
.
Physical Reality
simply
does not exist.
.
Physical reality
is what we create
within our consciousness.
It exists inside of us,
not outside.

My Dear Friends,
reality
transcends all of our notions about reality.
Our thoughts change our World,
with intensity.
Our thoughts can become so powerful
that they change everything
about us.

Thoughts can fester like
an open wound
and marinate in our minds,
infecting
every emotion and behavior
until they manifest into reality.

The way we think about ourselves
turns into our reality.
Our thoughts affect reality
when we believe they do.

Our Beliefs
are us.

Orange Flower With Butterfly

When we realize how powerful Belief is,
we can come to understand
how our Belief in God
transcends the illusions of Life.

When the illusions disappear,
so too do our
fears and anxieties.

Our Belief
in the Love of God,
and in our Love
for each other,

creates reality not by what we think,
but by what we feel.

Our Heart
 is one with God,
in Its entirety.
Our reality
is
a manifestation of the Love

of our Father in Heaven.
We do not just Love,
we are Love.

Close-up Photography of a Butterfly

God’s Precious Word’s
 enable us to recognize thoughts for what they really are,
and how to act or not act
upon them.
And inner Joy and Peace of mind
can then come effortlessly,
when we Live our precious Life
with His Guidance
and His
purpose.

The Sacred Words of our Lord
will
provide Life-changing insights

on your existence
and on every thing
you experience.

Your time of suffering and pain
can lead you
to a greater experience of the World,
through the
Sacred Time and Space of Prayer.
Your Communion with God
will connect you to a reality
that transcends fear.
The Fabric of Love

transcends our Earthly matrix.
 Love

transcends any form of conscious thought.

Silhouette Of A Person On A Swing

In 1961, Eugene Wigner,
Nobel Prize winning physicist, 
outlined a thought experiment that demonstrated
a paradox of quantum mechanics. 
It shows how the very strange nature of the Universe
allows two observers to experience
different realities.

This experiment
explored the nature of measurement
 to see if objective facts
can even
exist.

At Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh Scotland
  they performed this experiment for the first time
and have created different realities and compared them.
And they concluded Wigner was correct –
realities can be made irreconcilable
so that it is impossible to agree
on objective facts.

The unique experiment reveals
that both realities can coexist
even though they produce irreconcilable outcomes,
just as Wigner predicted.

The results are forcing physicists to reconsider
the nature of reality.

Volcano Erupting at Night Under Starry Sky

Observers,
like YOU and me,
have the freedom to make whatever observations
we want.
Real
Life
is not a movie you watch.
It is a movie you make.

Physicists look beyond the Human mind
for external reality,
but that reality isn’t absolute
Truth.

What is True
is whatever is True
 at one moment in Time
for one person.
Reality is subjective to each person.
 We simply cannot project our Beliefs onto others
– we simply cannot do horrible things to others
in the name of what we Believe!
If we the people understand this,
there
will be much more
Peace
in the World.

Silhouette of Person Holding Glass Mason Jar

To create a climate
for World Peace and understanding
we must realize
that it is our purpose,
and our role.

“Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with
ME.

Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.”
Jill Jackson-Miller and Sy Miller

When Jill Jackson-Miller
talked about the context of the above lyrics
that she authored,
she said:

“When I attempted suicide [in 1944]
and I didn’t succeed,
I knew for the first time
Unconditional Love
which God is.
You are totally Loved, totally accepted,
just the way you are.
In that moment I was not allowed to die,
and something happened to me,
which is very difficult to explain.
I had an Eternal Moment of Truth,
in which I knew I was Loved,
and I knew I was here for a purpose.”

Research tells us
that objective reality does not exist.
It suggests that a physical reality we can agree on, 
the idea of locality
must be wrong.

My Dear Friends,
the next step is to go further
and realize
there is more to Life
than Life,
more to reality
than physical reality.

“There are more things in Heaven and Earth,
Horatio,

than are dreamt of
in your philosophy.”

William Shakespeare

And what is there?

You are Eternal,
and in the death of your physical body,
you awaken to another World
that feels more real than
Human Life.

“A greater reality
underlies and enfolds the material World
that we see, hear, touch, smell, and taste.
Today, we know clearly, certainly
the nature of the greater reality and afterlife.
People just have to learn what we now know.
Those who come to know
will cease to fear death and will live together
in Peace and brotherhood.”

Angel, Commemorate, Needles, CemeteryWe will never fully comprehend
our True nature.

God Is Incomprehensible
and Knowable
at the Same Time.

The Holy Bible
is clear
that God is ultimately
incomprehensible

to us.
We can never comprehend
His Being.

God is Infinite.
,
The Created
cannot comprehend
the Creator.

Butterfly, Cross, Faith, Religion

Yes,
there are Mysteries
we will never fully comprehend,
but the Light of Faith
enables us to grasp
at least part of their meaning.

Because we strive to know God,
we can pursue Truth.
Since we do not fully know God,
we will never fully understand
the World,
or the true nature of reality.
Absolute truth resides only in God.
But this does not prevent us
from seeking to understand our
World.

..“I saw every work of God,
and that a man is unable
to comprehend the work
that is done under the Sun.
Despite his efforts to search it out,
he cannot find its meaning;
even if the wise man claims to know,
he is unable to comprehend.”
Ecclesiastes 8:17 
.
There is nothing “out there.”
It is all inside of our consciousness.
The physical Universe
simply does not exist

it is you.

that we previously thought we existed

Physical reality is a
reflection,
like an image in a mirror.
We know
that to change our image in a mirror
from a frown to a smile,
we must smile first
before the mirror can reflect it back to us.
We wouldn’t reach out with our hands
and try to grab hold of the edges of our mouth
in the mirror
and turn them up.

The Philosopher George Berkeley
maintained that physical objects do not exist
independently
of the mind that perceives them.
A thing truly exists
only as long as it is observed;
otherwise,
it is not only meaningless
but simply nonexistent.
The observer and the observed
are one.

But,
by accessing a Higher level of awareness,
beyond the boundaries of
‘physical illusion’,
we escape the constraints imposed upon us
by the finite physical World.

Flower, Spring, Garden, Prato, Bloom

You,
like the Infinite from which you came,
are part of an Eternal reality.
And,
like the Eternal void,
every Child of God
is filled with Infinite Love
and Infinite possibilities.

My Dear Friends,
experience deep meditation
and Prayer
as a profound silence
beyond
all words, thoughts, feelings, and sensations
“The still point of the turning World,”
as T. S. Eliot called it.

Philosophers and poets and sages
throughout all of our Human history,
have valued the experience
of being in touch
with the source
of their Consciousness.

Those in times passed
gained access to Spiritual Dimensions
by deep meditation and Prayer,
to the World beyond the physical.
And,
they attained a more complete picture
of reality.

The Human Being
is an amazing, brilliantly designed
Spiritual Organism,
having a Human experience
and
capable of stunning and amazing feats
of conscious expansion.
Many
attest to the Miracles of Meditation
and Prayer,
and how it has changed
their precious Lives.

Search the internet
for Prayer and medicine,
and you’ll find plenty of scientific studies
that confirm what the Christian community
has known for thousands of years
… that Prayer works.

“I gotta take a little time,
A little time to think things over.
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older.
Now this mountain I must climb.
Feels like a World upon my shoulders,
And through the clouds I see Love shine.
It keeps me warm as Life grows colder.
In my Life there’s been heartache and pain.
I don’t know if I can face it again.
Can’t stop now,
I’ve traveled so far.
To change this lonely Life
I wanna know what Love is
I want you to show me.”
Mick Jones

Perceive this moment,
be a part of the reality
revealed
through your
Love.

Walk in Nature
with your Sacred Lord.
Look to the Light.
There you are!
Beautiful.
Your Love is so very
Beautiful.
It is the Light
that shines in your
Heart.

“True Love
is like radium.
It becomes all the more complete
as it is turned towards others.
That is why true happiness
is within everyone’s reach,
even the poorest.”

Robert Baden-Powell

Goodnight.

How Parents Can Help Children of the Pandemic Cope
By Jeanne Erdmann
discovermagazine.com

click here to read more ..

Kids are facing plenty of emotional challenges these days. Isolation from friends, remote learning, the loss of the structured school day and the loss of easy access to school counselors.

The stressors we’re all facing reach beyond fear of getting sick from COVID-19, and kids are no different. The toll the disease has taken on the economy, housing, food security and our daily routines of school and work shred our sense of safety and security — the foundation for mental well-being. These pressures make children especially vulnerable to mental health issues, psychiatrist Sara Vinson told attendees at the Association of Health Care Journalists’ virtual summit on Infectious Disease in November 2020.

“So much of what we ask of children — going to school, being engaged — requires them to believe that they are going to grow up and be an adult; that they have a future,” says Vinson, a psychiatrist at Morehouse School of Medicine and the Emory University School of Medicine, because the sense of control over how their future is going to look depends on feeling safe and secure.

At the summit, Elizabeth Stuart, a mental health researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said there’s not enough good data on children’s mental health during the pandemic because most surveys are done on adults. And even without surveys, Vinson and others are seeing an increase in anxiety, depression, and thoughts about suicide in children and adolescents.

The Family Meltdown

Stressed out kids show some of the same warning signs as adults do — like isolation and withdrawing from friends or activities. In general, parents or caregivers should watch for changes in a child’s behavior that are not normal for them, says Amy Geinert, a counselor at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. For example, if your child went from being diligent about schoolwork to avoiding online classes because of feeling overwhelmed.

Some kids might tell parents what’s bothering them, while others may act out or complain about headaches or stomach aches. Some may sleep too much, or too little. Younger children may become extra clingy, have more tantrums or cry more. Some risk factors can increase the risk of suicide in kids, such as feeling like they are too much of a burden. This blog post from CHOC Children’s, the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, offers tips to recognize those signs.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends talking to children openly and honestly about the pandemic because avoiding these conversations does not protect them. And don’t bother trying to hide your own worries, because kids pick up on everything. “It’s one of their magical powers,” says Alejandra Gonzalez Rodriguez, a family and marriage therapist at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Just make sure that what you are sharing is age – appropriate. “You don’t want to tell your 10-year-old that you are having significant financial issues,” she says.

And, if in a weak moment, what you share with your children happens to be your own tantrum, it’s important to recognize what’s happened and just apologize, says Gonzalez Rodriguez. You’ll soothe the child’s feelings, and also show them that healthy relationships ebb and flow between conflict and healing.

Mending the Frayed Safety Net

Unfortunately, at a time when we need to blow off steam, our ways to cope are limited. Finding activities that promote well-being isn’t complicated. Just ask your children what they want to do together as a family, whether that’s cuddling, holding a movie night, or cooking grandma’s favorite recipe. Parents may take these things for granted, but traditions and rituals mean a lot to kids, says Gonzalez Rodriguez.

Also, ask kids what they like to do when they’re not feeling well. To identify those moments, Gonzalez Rodriguez suggests filling out what’s called a feelings thermometer, which helps children (and adults), recognize and speak about their emotions.

Parents can also try exercises like belly breathing and grounding, which, for example, asks kids to look around them and find three 3 green objects. This technique helps shift the focus away from anxious thoughts, but does take practice to have a calming effect, says Gonzalez Rodriguez.

Music can also soothe or entertain. Adam Parker, a school psychologist in the Cherry Creek School District near Denver, takes a fun approach to the social and emotional challenges of being stuck at home. His series of videos on YouTube tackles topics like doubt, grit, and empathy with songs and interviews.

Taking the Next Step Forward

While there are at-home remedies for symptoms of anxiety and depression, reach out to a therapist when your efforts aren’t working. Remember to include yourself, if necessary. “Plenty of parents will seek help for their kids and ignore their own mental health needs,” says Katherine Nelson, an assistant professor of counseling at the University of North Dakota.

There’s still a stigma attached to seeking professional help. Mental health is something people think they can manage on their own, says Nelson. Parents may also feel uncertain or fearful about what seeking mental health means, such as worrying something may be wrong with them, or worrying that seeking help for their kids may reflect poorly on them as a parent, she says. “It takes a lot of strength to ask for help, and it’s also scary,” says Nelson, who also urges us to be OK with the fact that everything has changed.

In fact, finding ways to stay positive — as challenging as that is these days — helps build resilience, in part, by how we frame the stories that we tell ourselves, says Gonzalez Rodriguez. While this may sound abstract, how we look at adversity helps or harms our ability to overcome problems. If we tell our kids that we can overcome the pandemic, then that’s the narrative they will have, she says.

Remember, too that kids bounce back. Even with the scary unknowns about the pandemic, we can still move forward, and perhaps be stronger because of the experience, says Geinert.

God’s Love For You Is Deathless / Bill Kincaid’s Wizard’s Gambit / Why is Coffee Good For You? / TUESDAY, Jan. 5 – We Begin Again

Person Holding White Daisy Flower

“Nothing
can be Loved or hated
unless it is first understood.”

Leonardo da Vinci.

God’s Love for you
is deathless.

The Blessings of Blissful moments
are Lived and Loved
on the pathway to Happiness,
as we struggle with all the misfortunes
of this World,
and Pray to God
to shield us from harm.

In the brightest of days
and the darkest of nights,
amidst your Happiest moments

and gloomiest hours,
there can be a Soft Breeze flowing
through your Life,

the Breath of God,
the Spirit of the Lord
Passing By.

All
that is needed
is Prayer.

The Banner of our purpose
for existence, for Love, for Life,
floats calmly in this Gentle Breeze,
 of God’s Unbounded Love for us.

We may have unlimited confidence
in the Love and Care
God will have
for His Precious Children
of Faith.

Such Faith
is simple
and profound.
It is the same
Faith,
that may be found
in the Love
your Children feel
for you.

Blotchy Background

Feel gratified to God
for the Beauty all around,
found in every Leaf
and every Tree,
in everything that was,
and is,
and is to be.
.

The Hope
in all our future years,

the only Hope
there may be,
resides in our Love
for each other,
the Love
God has given

to you
and me.

 The Love
of our Lord
is kept among even the dimmest memories
of Childhood.
In the Maternal Care
we share,
is the warmth and tender
caress
of all the Love
that is there.

Yes,
the Beauty
of all things
can be beheld
by you.
This knowledge,
this awareness,
gives you
Birth
anew.

There are words Sacred
in number
that let us explore
unfettered
the Eternal Nature
of God’s Love.
They are here,
they are real.
And they reside
within the Holy Word
of God.

In the Eyes of God
every
teardrop is timeless,
every smile
remains in the Heart.
You
are Forever Eternal
in the Love of God
that Created you.

lily flower

In every Flower we see,
Blossoms the Love
that Flows
Eternally.
In
the Natural World,
not built by
you and me,
is
the Love of God,
painted
on every Living Thing
that dwells
in the Forest of His Heart,
for you
and for me.

The Holy Word of God
is filled with His Promises
to provide the rest we need.
Our Precious Father
in Heaven Above
is an Endless Source of
Peace and Strength.

                       Painted on every Living Thing.

And
rest is important

to our Spiritual Walk with the Lord.
Mental and physical rest
allows our mind and our body,
and, importantly, our Spirit
to renew
and begin again each Blessed Gift
of Day,
with renewed strength
and purpose.

My Dear Friends,
during this precarious time 
of worry and stress,
rest
is important to your physical Being,

and
your Spiritual Walk

with the Lord.

Many people today

don’t appreciate the true value
of rest,
physical and Spiritual.
.
 God is an endless source of
Peace and Strength.

“In order for God’s Strength
to manifest and present in our Lives
we must have
Faith.”

Hebrews 11:1

Goodnight.

coffee chartWhy is Coffee Good For You?
Here Are 7 Reasons
By Kris Gunnars
To read the full article
click here

In recent years and decades, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health and their results have been nothing short of amazing. Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.

1. Coffee Can Make You Smarter

The active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world. Caffeine’s primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

Many controlled trials have examined the effects of caffeine on the brain, demonstrating that caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function.

2. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat and Improves Physical Performance

There’s a good reason why you will find caffeine in most commercial fat burning supplements.

Caffeine raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids.

3. Coffee May Drastically Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes

Type II diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease that has reached epidemic proportions, having increased 10-fold in a few decades and now afflicting about 300 million people.

In observational studies, coffee has been repeatedly associated with a lower risk of diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from 23% all the way up to 67%.

A massive review article looked at 18 studies with a total of 457.922 participants. Each additional cup of coffee per day lowered the risk of diabetes by 7%. The more coffee people drank, the lower their risk.

4. Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

Not only can coffee make you smarter in the short term, it may also protect your brain in old age.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world and a leading cause of dementia.

In prospective studies, coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by death of dopamine-generating neurons in the brain. Coffee may lower the risk of Parkinson’s by 32 – 60%.

5. Coffee May be Extremely Good For Your Liver

The liver is a remarkable organ that carries out hundreds of vital functions in the body.

It is very vulnerable to modern insults such as excess consumption of alcohol and fructose. Cirrhosisis the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis, where liver tissue has been largely replaced by scar tissue.

Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%, the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day.

Coffee may also lower the risk of liver cancer by around 40%.

6. Coffee May Decrease Your Risk of Dying

In two very large prospective epidemiological studies, drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of death by all causes.

This effect is particularly profound in type II diabetics, one study showing that coffee drinkers had a 30% lower risk of death during a 20 year period.

7. Coffee is Loaded With Nutrients and Antioxidants

Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink, which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.

A cup of coffee contains:

6% of the RDA for Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).
11% of the RDA for Riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
2% of the RDA for Niacin (B3) and Thiamine (B1).
3% of the RDA for Potassium and Manganese.

May not seem like much, but if you drink several cups of coffee per day then this quickly adds up.

But this isn’t all. Coffee also contains a massive amount of antioxidants.

In fact, coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet, outranking both fruits and vegetables combined.

Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you, drinking way too much of it can still be harmful.

To make sure to preserve the health benefits, don’t put sugar or anything nasty in your coffee! If it tends to affect your sleep, then don’t drink it after 2 p.m.

If anything, coffee may literally be the healthiest beverage on the planet.

And so, my friends, instead of allowing your children to drink deadly and addictive soft drinks, why not introduce them to something healthy? Yes, like coffee.
