My 2 cents on the wave of pop up mental health clinics coming to your local pharmacy:

I recently lost my beloved pet, Pepper.
No easy way to say goodbye to a faithful friend, except to take time to remember, grieve, and be present to my loss.

Did you know that Election Stress Disorder is real?

Who knew? I think I did after watching last night's debate!

Balance is tough in our lives, but today is one to reflect on creating more in one's own life.

We are pushing into mid-September -- some of us are hanging on to these last few days of summer with dear life and others are enjoying pumpkin everything about now!

Have you made your plan for Autumn? Can it really be that time of year?

Yes, we have joined everyone else who is getting a puppy! What joy!

What a way to ground one's self in the now and let go of anxiousness about what may or may not come next!

Even with COVID continuing on, football season is here.

This book - Before The Ever After - offers an interesting take on our sports heroes and what happens after their glory days fade.

We all know what sound proofing is, but today it's all about sound limiting as we work and school from home this Autumn:

Signs of Early Autumn are all around us today -- at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

What are you noticing these days?

Not sure if it is COVID or something else, but everyone seems to be painting something these days -- guess what?

Painting can be so creative! Get Ready!

Money is always a tough subject -- and if you are about to create a spreadsheet to track it all to "improve" yourself, take a moment and ask yourself this important question before you set one up:

Have you heard of Quarantine Envy?

It's a new term for me too -- and apparently it's real!

Have you taken on a summer project this season?

For me, it's organizing my books -- all of them! (Including the academic ones that I dumped into a space one day last year.)

Low Grade Depression is real and many of us are suffering with it right now -- just like Michelle Obama.

The most important part is naming you feel this way and then finding ways to care well for yourself.

Are you Doomscrolling these days?

Many of us are -- and it's like entering the Temple of Doom!

Does needing help sometimes (or many times) lead you to a feeling of helplessness?

Pay attention as this is not uncommon and deserves attention in order for you to ask and receive help that you deserve.
