What a great way to gear up for Global Oneness Day, and The Election, and of course Halloween (and All Souls Day…and much more like The Future of Plan-It Earth with Heart!) Hope to hear more if not see this award-winning documentary producer in person sharing hope for regreening the planet, restoring imbalances…and more. Thanks for sharing with a friend! Also check out the cool stuff on Andrew Faust who is offering Brooklyn Permaculture classes and monthly meet-ups.
The PC Basics certification starts on Oct 22nd, 2016. See more online and enjoy the new ways to ‘save energy’, recycle (everything), catch and store rainwater and work with nature not against it (people too). and much More! Let me know what you think of Michael Moore’s latest or other films. Are folks feeling inspired? Check out offerings at the NY Edgar Cayce Center (medical intuitive classes being offered if enough sign up in advance). Many great efforts (compared to the big medical industry) to help people tune into their health and wealth before losing one or both (often connected, unfortunately, as if poor health were not enough of a blow.)
Don’t forget to Make A Will, have Health Care Representatives on File with one’s doctor and readily at hand for others (near the fridge with a note anyway), plans for childcare short-term or longer and all that good stuff. One’s list may include ‘filing for bankruptcy to clear old debt or more recent if that is one’s best or preferred option–just learn about one’s credit for starters with www.freeannualcreditreport.com and get reports from all three agencies that provide them with a written report (sometimes not available for free if viewing online so read the fine print or call if needed.)
Then there is doing a BUDGET (that’s not code for Get Bud) and Plan with www.mint.com or other service (free ideally though some like ‘youneedabudget’ or something like that which costs 50/month.) Other posts speak to these issues. But as reminders to women who are so good at caring for others, don’t forget to check with your ‘lady doctor’ or GYN (or OBGYN if not completely through menopause…I’ve heard of two women who thought that’s what they were having when their symptoms proved to be due to…you guessed it, pregnancy!
Both had their kids even after being moms before (so having some idea of how babies are made, intentionally or otherwise.) Then there’s testing or UTI (urinary tract infection if peeing a lot..and that can be for a guy or a gal.)
A UTI could cause difficulty with one’s kidneys since the urinrogenital tracts are connected. Get all those ‘regular exams as one feels is appropriate (PAPs, mammograms and so on, possibly the ultrasound type if an option but again Do Your Own Research and get a couple of opinions especially about biopsies and other procedures. Is there a timeline to be aware of, is there an alternative to try and get retested? Most women may benefit from an estrogen type cream (or again possibly a natural or over-the-counter type if not going to a doctor for a prescription) to keep female tissues in shape and comfortable and maybe prevent UTIs.
Keeping an eye on one’s diet and really not eating ‘the foods that may cause or are linked to’ UTIs, high blood sugar or pressure and so on makes good sense. And no, a doctor doesn’t have to tell you that Before you get out of shape or high numbers (or a UTI, etc or yeast infection…these are things many women, and yes men, find out the hard way.) So, back to caring for the planet…doesn’t hurt to start at home, and be proactive about eating organic or healthier foods as much as possible, getting good sleep (have I ever mentioned that on this blog…easier said than done by the way.) Okay maybe we could Pay People to Sleep and see if that improved health for people and gave them a living wage, a win-win even if we didn’t pay in cash but maybe in good food or other support such as foot massages and such as may be approved by their doctor.

AlternativeRadio.org chock a block with Cool Talks for Today!
Chiming in here about a talk I heard on Feminine Imperialism by Deepa Kumar (From Rutgers Univ.) on the radio by chance (good ol’ synchronicity often works in my favor to hear things to inspire or inform me or warn us, yes?).
That was from www.altenativeradio.org and I’m at a library recharging my cell phone long enough (using the cord which connects to the computer and my phone, rather than a plug which is what I thought I grabbed to recharge said helpful Cell Phone.
Apparently they are easy and cheap to buy, but better to use what I have for now. Just passing that tip along to help more “older folks: like me, in their 50s who may still be mostly clueless about How to Use Technology even if we know what a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and cell phone and iPhone is with apps. Important to back up photos to Google Drive which is online on one’s computer if you can get help to do so, then you have more space (REM?) to take more photos..and video with your phone. I can’t seem to get a 30 min video to download but I will keep asking since it took me a couple of years to get a fellow to speak long enough to catch his car wisdom talk (and history of what he owned since he was 14..with all the models and years and repairs..the Important Things ya know.)
I love how some folks can remember just about everything and for others it’s hit or miss..and mainly miss. But pictures, storytelling, trips and such can stand out. Maybe make a timeline of Your Journey on this Earth with the years at the bottom like a ruler and list Where you lived, worked, went to school and had in your life for family, friends and so on and sure your cars and other highlights, trips and events (births and passings of family and friends that you may want to note).
Just a thought, and again, let the good vibes flow and info come into your life. The speaker I heard, Deepa Kumar (my attempt to spell her name) said we are not looking at the big picture of what creates violence against women and kids…whether in Pakistan or the US. So-called “honor killings’ end the lives of 1000 women a year in Pakistan, and ‘IPV, intimate partner violence killings end the lives of 1500 women in the US EACH YEAR! Not enough is done to relate to the public that these are not isolated, incomprehensible crimes, but are linked to women being second class citizens.
These are points she covered in depth about concerns about women and their safety (and livelihood being limited) across the world. Not a bad thing to keep in mind as women in COLLEGE and The MILITARY too often are at great risk for assault are those in third world countries, or Iraq after the US disrupted their economy with the war, and 70 % of women’s jobs got weigh-laid, no longer state-sponsored, with many women turning to prostitution to make ends meet. We need more human care and support for basics like food, childcare and education etc in such places as well as in the US for ‘All’.
More peope in need have to advocate For Themselves in Groups rather than as lone tragic cases to effect meaningful change and REVERSE the power circle that allows decision makers to keep making improvements For Themselves. Need to go for now, but Happy Holidays for now..
