Everywhere I turn these days the keywords, “mindfulness” and “meditation” are being suggested as a way of enhancing our well-being. Some baby boomers can remember meditation and the connection with the Beatles interests in the practice after a meeting Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon had with Maharishi after his lecture at the Hilton Hotel, London, on August 24, 1967, which sparked an interest to study in India with the Yogi to learn the techniques.
For your information, Senior Planet is having a conversation regularly about “Mindfulness”, and so are other wellness websites. That’s why I am happy to share some of the links with you, as you think about embracing new ways for your wellness regimen.
Are “meditation” and “mindfulness” the same thing?

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is a topic of importance on my blogs. Each blog has information which provides mental health support tools for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. When you find a free listening moment, you will learn about the formidable Mental Health Advocate, the late Ms. Bebe Moore Campbell on my podcast Episode #65.
In my opinion, the more we share the resources provided on the podcast and on my other blogs, the better-informed people will be to find the assistance they may need or want.
In addition, the Samaritans website has “Tools you can use” 🙂

Surviving the impact of Open-Heart Surgery is an experience that I continue to celebrate. Today I celebrate 29 years since that surgery so many years ago. Why is it important to me? Well, if you click this link to the Women Heart, website, you will be taken to a website which provides information of the things women should be aware of because we are often mis-diagnosed. Young Women….you can be a part of a growing group of knowledgeable women who understand the signals women experience and provide valuable support. The Women Heart website was not available when I was confronted with a heart problem. The heart problem I was diagnosed with was rare (Atrial Myxoma). Luckily (and I do mean it was luck) – my general doctor believed I needed to see a cardiologist. She referred me to Dr. Emmanuel Troulakis. He took the time to listen and was expert at doing an ultra-sound, which indicated a problem with the blood flow to my heart. He found there was a problem!
However, “luck” also happens to the “well-prepared”. Nowadays, there are organizations that can help you to be well-informed and supported. See the details below.
