Just a little support for our students. If you know anyone struggling with taking notes in class, I hope this will help.

Taking notes in a lecture should be easy, right? Just write down what the instructor says. But who can write that fast? And should you write by hand, or take

Any woman who can understand and limit cross-contamination in her kitchen is well positioned to resist an epidemic by following her own practices from her own domain.⁠
⁠
After washing your hands, be aware of what other surfaces are carrying and how a germ can be transferred from one place to another. ⁠
⁠
Don't go mad with harsh chemicals or disinfectants, which can be very hard on the skin and lungs, and must not be ingested by infants or pets.⁠
⁠
Though viruses can wreak havoc on our systems, they are actually quite fragile outside of the body and can be destroyed without poisoning ourselves. ⁠
⁠
Vinegar is likely sufficient as a preventative measure, as it kills a host of germs, bacteria and mold efficiently. If you are in the middle of an active infection, a stronger alcohol based cleaner is better.⁠
⁠
Be safe. Keep the fear at bay.⁠

Shelter. It's one of our primal instincts. We find it in various ways.

Aside from housing, we find shelter in relationships, in a quiet corner with our thoughts, in the security of our family.

When this basic need is unmet we cannot rise to higher states where the mind is free to explore, invent, create. The body and spirit are bogged down with stress, limiting our ability even to love or give of ourselves to others.

We are reduced to surviving.

Find your shelter. Think creatively about your housing, your relationships and how to find your security.

Free your spirit to raise you up to your immense potential. Let the brilliance of your light shine out.

Live with Lightness.

"To be held in the heart of a friend is to be a king."
- Bruce Cockburn

Friendships feed our souls and anchor us.

This applies not only to strangers who become close to us, but to our family members too. The bonds we create from shared experience can tie us for life to others and teach us about love and forgiveness, kindness and gentleness for those times when the fun runs out.

These are often the times that deepen our bonds to each other, though they are sad or frustrating in the moment.

Gather your friends and cherish them. Let yourself be cherished and helped when the time comes.

Live with Lightness.

"Stop and smell the roses", people tell us. How easy it is to ignore the small pleasures in life and all around us.

Food is one of the pleasures that we are almost being encouraged to ignore. Everything is now about carbs, fat and protein. Gluten free, sugar as poison, dairy almost as evil as eating meat. All of the joy in preparing and sharing meals seems to be eroding while we worry ourselves to death about what we are putting in our mouths.

Relax. Eat healthy food with friends and worry less about the micro-nutrient content, unless you are ill.

Seeing the beauty in nature is also important. These small joys feed the soul. See the rainbows, drink in the sound of the rain. Feast your eyes on the tiny raindrops on these delicate flowers. If you love the built environment, appreciate the details in the architecture and the people who designed them.

Beauty is all around us.

Live with Lightness.
