“Hope spreads around the earth… brightening all things.” — Dr. Maya Angelou
Wishing you a peaceful, joyful Christmas filled with love and gratitude. 🎄❤️
Each day brings an opportunity to allow inner happiness to unfold through the people and places that bring you purpose, pleasure, peace, engagement and a sense of accomplishment. The blue bird of happiness is never far away, in fact he may be all around you if you open your heart to let him in.

To everyone that follows my ideas about positive health & lifestyle medicine here, have a wonderful peaceful St. Patrick’s day, wherever you are in the world.
Here are some words for the day that’s in it by the late Seamus Heaney, one of our greatest ever poets & wordsmiths.
‘Human beings suffer
They torture one another,
They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted and endured.
The innocent in gaols
Beat on their bars together.
A hunger-striker’s father
Stands in the graveyard dumb.
The police widow in veils
Faints at the funeral home.
History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave…
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.
So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.
Call miracle self-healing:
The utter, self-revealing
Double-take of feeling.
If there’s fire on the mountain
Or lightning and storm
And a god speaks from the sky
That means someone is hearing
The outcry and the birth-cry
Of new life at its term.
It means once in a lifetime
That justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme’.
The Cure of Troy

‘Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.’
Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s time to limit the use of smartphones during the school day.
When our kids are in school, they should be focused on learning -- not their screens.
