As an Open-Heart Surgery survivor, who at a young age was confronted with a heart problem, I celebrate women’s heart health.

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” 🙂
