My Way (Charity Single) By Margaret Mackie & Jamie Lee Morley #OurStory ...


Alzheimer's Awareness Month


Dona Anderson


I saw this a few days ago and thought it would be lovely to share.

Thanks to the various experts and campaigns for Alzheimer's Awareness month there is more information on the various types of dementia and more personal stories being shared to let us learn from, understand and give support.

Music has been found to help support their day - the songs of their generation, Christmas carols, Classical music or whatever it is.  It can be calming, comforting, and let time pass being more relaxed.

It's important that others get to share in those moments, a time when we can all forget about the disease and just focus on the present to enjoy the precious Gifts they leave us ...

This video is one. 💚

a Magical Gift for us to hold in our hearts.


Take Care.


Coming up next week. 
February is my Heart & Love Month
be sure to visit for Music, Rumi and a 
Message from the heart starts it off.

Pelvic Floor Relaxation Exercises for Pelvic Pain

Realizing the Importance of something we do all day long.


Dona Anderson

A few months back I was having some pelvic pain on and off over a couple of days.

I had been been exercising the day before but just doing what I usually did.

Couldn't figure it out so I spent some time online searching for what was wrong and if I was going to ...

No Drama or Stress here ...

I guess a lot of us do the Google searches for reasons and symptoms

Luckily I was feeling Ok the next day.

Thank Goodness.

Anyway through my searching I found this video which reminded me to use my breath which helped me to relax the pain and spasms.




So OK, really this was not funny. 

WHY - Because I use breathing techniques for opening my body in Yoga all the time for years but in my discomfort, I didn't think about it when I needed it.

I hadn't thought about it for relaxing the muscles, the rest of my body, and especially my mind.

Luckily it went away or my next step was - a visit to my Doctor.

I thought I'd share my story and the video if you want to watch it or save it for a resource. 

What reminders do you use to support your health.

Take Care.



Coming up in February - 

it's time again to soothe our Heart

Are You Patient with Yourself?

from  

THE MEDITATION, PEACE

Simply, One Breath At a Time


A Wellness Moment for you today.

Dona Anderson

another - True Treasures

I know some days it's really hard to be patient and relax with all the to do's and thoughts racing around in our heads. 

So today I'm sharing a few lines from Simply, One Breath At a Time to give you some Wellness Moments to rest, breathe and take care of You.  

The photo below is of an excerpt on page 83, and you'll find the full meditation on pages 124-125 

It begins by offering us time to breathe, relax, connect to our self and answer a few of life's important questions and in the second last paragraph you'll find this ...

Enjoy.


"Celebrate your presence as you encourage the

breath to help you breathe freely...

accept this moment as a special place in time

to connect with yourself and the world ...

feel your life as an evolution ...

an ever changing masterpiece ..."

Resources - ebook available

**Here's how it ends

"Now stay in peace for a 
while longer and find a
place to breathe freely,
a place to be,
be you..."

letter of these words on page 125,

What a Wonderful World | Playing For Change


Another One of my favorite Songs

You'll love it too!!

Dona Anderson



Cheerful. Happy. Colorful. Fun.

It is a wonderful world!



  



If  you've visited here frequently you will
have noticed I have Many Favorite Songs!


Can't help it - so much to like.


If you're still in the New Years' spirit or just want to stand up, sing and dance around - please go for it. 

I did a few times, and it's great for just letting yourself move and sing to let go of Stress and get your Smile on.

We really need all of us together singing loudly and protecting our Wonderful World before it's too late.

Change is happening so fast ...


Thank You.

Needing a few more moments to soften,
breathe and let your heart sing.  
from last summer.
Enjoy. 

Let's send prayers out to Australia
and others in need of help.

Very glad I found this video in the Archives (December 2015) when I went looking for past posts to put in the Christmas combo I did in November.

I listened and fell in love with it all over again. Song first recorded in 1967.
