Day 23: Blue Mind With Ai Chi

Image
Hi Everyone... I am actually certified in Tai Chi for Wellness & Tai Chi in a Chair. This is an interesting piece on  Ai Chi ...Aquatic Tai Chi. :-) Injured soldiers in Virginia are using it to help with their recovery. Tai Chi helps with blood flow, flexibility, balance, breathing and muscles which are weak and stiff. Water really is Medicine!

Hi Everyone... Last year I fell in love with this material. I made a fleece blanket for myself, two pillows for my bed and then one for my fur baby Sterling. Really puts me in a Blue Mind! :-) Please excuse the mess on the floor...pulled apart something to reorganize Ha.  Sterling with his favorite toy...his turtle! Word got out and some other Marine Life showed up! HA! Even some new friends came for Sterling! HA!  I did buy extra material to make some more! :-) 

Day 21: Blue Mind at the Dells

Image
Hi Everyone... I was thinking about what to write for today. Trying to think of water places I had been to that I really loved and all of a sudden a smile came over me when I thought of going to Wisconsin Dells as a kid. I have to check on some details with my parents, but I think we went twice. I am much older now & I'm not sure how my memory is, but I seem to recall loving the Duck rides. I thought it was sooo cool they traveled on land and then went into the water! :-) I loved the water and the huge rocks!  I also LOVED going to see the Native American Dance at night. All the pretty colored lights and the costumes similar to this one I think, but I remember 2 men with arms like birds dancing round and round. :-) I also remember going to Paul Bunyan's for breakfast eating at long tables with other people. :-)  The first time we went I was little and we stayed at a cabin and I met the owner's daughter who was my age and named Rachel. Yep, still rem...

Hi Everyone... I thought I'd give you an idea of how to make your own water fountain. Just an idea to start with. You can tailor it to your own liking! :-) I'm thinking of making myself one! :-)

Day 19: World Oceans Week Recap

Image
Hi Everyone... Well look at that purple coral. Do you think it is pretty? It is...but unfortunately this color change means it is dying. One of the MANY things I learned since last Sunday during the World Oceans Week presentations and films. This picture is from Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef of the 2016 warming, which lead to 29% of the coral reef dying and 67% of the Northern Reef dying due to warmer waters. This information was in the Chasing Coral film which you can watch FREE   online from Netflix now. Tonight at 6pm I will provide some information I learned from each of the conferences, starting with last Sunday's Blue Water Summit , then Monday's United Nations Conference , Tuesday's Capitol Hill Conference & then Tues-Fri's Earthx Oceans Conference . If you did not get a change to watch and learn during the week, come tonight & I'll give you a recap of the big things I learned and the information I think you definitely need to know...

Day 18: Refreshingly Blue!

Hi Everyone... Today I Turn My Blue Mind On with a blue glass of water.   Ahhhh! Just the glass sitting there, as with the sticker & postcard, it visually comes into my brain and calms me even when I'm not conscious of it. :-) 

Day 17: Blue New Deal

Image
Hi Everyone... Well I came across this today & I have to say, I had not seen this yet. Senator Elizabeth Warren has a proposed Blue New Deal . It is an interesting read! And yes, I did email her and suggested she read Blue Mind because they should include the research on how water makes us "Happier, Healthier, More Connected & Better At What We Do!!!"
