How would you spend a mental health day in Chicago?

I'm sorry you lost your dad and I so relate to this. Just looking at the water gives me such peace. I'm glad you did that.

Yes, you get a random partner. I have been working with people this morning in the U.S., Canada and Germany. It's cool.

I would encourage you to educate yourself on the concepts of Health at Every Size and support your family member with love and compassion. Everyone thinks they know what's best for another person -- but we are each an individual who can ultimately only make decisions for ourselves. Experience tells me that "helpful tips" from well-intentioned friends and family is very shameful and makes me less inclined to make healthful decisions.

Gorgeous capture! I love the pop of color!

Water always makes me happy. People not always. So, I love driving up LSD to Evanston and those areas and walking along the lake paths.

hot or cold tea? I've been using coconut sugar in my hot tea for sweetner. Stevia also doesn't taste horrible for iced tea, and it's more natural than most of the other sweetners, but can still give me some blood sugar spikes.

I was recently in Glacier. What a beautiful place! I heard there were a lot of bears, but never caught sight of one. Great capture.

I love Focusmate. I struggle with pay attention and it helps me stay focused for short periods of time, so I can function in my work.

In general, those are the people who get the attention. I wanted to give some attention to females and people of color.

Love Walter Mosley

What kind of an idiotic statement is that?

mintleaf_bergamot · 2022-07-06T05:51:03+00:00

Nora Ephron, Fannie Flagg, Barbara Kingsolver, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison

Steinbeck, Frost, Twain for the white male classics. Ralph Ellison.

James Michener, Pat Conroy and Larry McMurtry for geographic fiction.

Church is always a connection point. If that's not your jam, then I would say meet your neighbors, get involved in club sports or cultural activities.

I beg to differ. While Jim Walton and perhaps another of the Walton family served on the Council there were many very capable and intelligent leaders who had a broad vision for NWA.

Silas House is my favorite Appalachian writer, along with Barbara Kingsolver and Adriana Triagi

A few years ago, our Akita suffered this type of injury. Turns out the nationwide expert on correction is based in St Charles. He fixed our dog up well and she lived several more active years. The vets name is Dr Robert Cook. He ONLY does surgeries. His practice is Valley Veterinary Clinic.

Loved the Old Applegate Fair, also driving up 71 to Fayetteville and then taking 112 all the way in to Bentonville. What was that great restaurant that used to be where the Promenade is now? One of the best things in Rogers in the 80s and 90s was the SuzyQ drive in.

The NWA Council was really instrumental in driving and shaping the path forward.

mintleaf_bergamot · 2022-07-01T03:24:39+00:00

Ugh. That stinks.

Why not use your local library and get the books for free on Hoopla or Libby?

mintleaf_bergamot · 2022-07-01T03:20:16+00:00

Have you read Wiley Cash? I feel like he touches on some of this in his books.

mintleaf_bergamot · 2022-07-01T03:18:44+00:00

That's sad to hear. The city seems to have a lot going on.

mintleaf_bergamot · 2022-06-26T18:32:55+00:00

I've traveled to several cities similar in size to Spokane. There definitely is an uptick in homelessness. But Spokane seemed to be more affected.

It's a form of Irish dance.

I'd suggest posting this on a woman's advocacy subreddit. You'll find a caravan of people willing to help. Also if you're willing to reach out to an area church they might be willing to get you where you're going
