***This story is pre-Covid 19, but was too awesome not to share*** "Dear teenage boy at the skate park: You're probably about 15 years-old, so I don't expect yo...u to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter. What you don't know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn't just for boys. So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenage boys, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home. I secretly wanted to go too because I didn't want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you. I also didn't want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn't entitled to that skate park just as much as you were. So when she said, "Mom it's full of older boys," I calmly said, "So what, they don't own the skate park." She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her. She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said "Hey, excuse me..." I immediately prepared to deliver my "She's allowed to use this park just as much as you guys" speech when I heard you say, "Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?" You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you a feat not attained by most adults. You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn't get hurt. I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter. She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you."

This is interesting, we slow down and less pre term births.....

I love my laser.

Children, just like adults, benefit greatly from consistent and deliberate self-care activities. We all need to learn how to take care of ourselves, and perform...ing self-care activities with your children is an excellent way to model healthy lifestyle choices for your children. By making self-care a daily practice, parents provide opportunities to build rituals of connection and create a system of shared meaning. Support your kids’ long-term well-being by making healthy and meaningful choices that encourage growth, connection, expression, and stability. Give these self-care activities a try or sit down with your child and invite them to brainstorm new ideas unique to their interests.

I can not abandon my patients. Chiropractic has been listed as an essential service, to provide this type of care, to ‘ease the burden on the MD and ERs’. I h...ave been providing emergency care to those who need it. The way the CERB is currently written my caring for emergencies disqualifies me from all the government benefits. I see so few patients the money I get is substantial less than what I would get from the government. it makes no financial sense for me to continue providing emergency care, yet I feel compelled to be here for those in need. PLEASE Help me by signing the petition. The government is reviewing the requirements for CERB and May open it to allow them to deduct what I make from being open and then I could collect a portion of the CERB. Thank you for your support.

"I’m so incredibly proud to be a Newfoundlander... This morning, I was in one of two extremely long lines in bright -12 degree sunshine, waiting for Wal Mart an...d Sobeys on Topsail to open for the first time since Friday. I was one of a couple of thousand complete strangers you always knew. Instead of people being angry and impatient , it was the complete opposite. Friendly, smiling, polite, helpful and generous. Sharing hot chocolate and coffee and so forth. When Wal Mart finally opened, no rushing. Instead, people helped one another. It should have been a stressful, ‘get me the hell out of here’ experience for everyone, but as it’s been since the storm hit, it was a happy and amazing experience. Even inside the store, there was no madness or bumping with carts and people would pass you milk or whatever you were looking for without you asking. Everyone was so civil, patient and happy. I was walking home up Cowan Ave which is steep and before I got to the halfway point, I was asked 3 times by strangers if I would like a drive home. I finally gave in on the third offer. This storm has been a spontaneous gathering and celebration of who we are as a people; a family. If you’ve met a member of our family, you understand what I’m saying. If you haven’t met a Newfoundlander, you couldn’t possibly understand. Way to go Newfoundland, way to go" See more

Screens are very addictive, even an adult has trouble putting down their device. We all need some help to put them down. Set some tough rules and the really hard part enforce them.
