Have you ever done a lot of volunteering and good things from the heart, and then as time went on, the situations all changed and you never heard too much mentioned anymore about it? Time went on ....
Well, a few years ago, I gave my time to do ministry work with A Touch of Home Ministry, an agency through CHUM and WHI, ran by a nursing colleague, pastor, and good friend, Rev. Jeanne Updike, doing Reiki, Hands On Healing and Ministry. I also gave my time to this organization through Cannon Healthcare Consulting to offer free Nursing services and mental health guidance, and giving comfort in their situations, and served food, made cots, etc..
I spent years doing this, and worked Saturdays till late at night providing these services to Women who were Unhoused/homeless, some sexually abused, some mentally unhealthy, some very ill....that had been bussed to a church in Denver for safety during the night.
When the program ended, I just remembered what a blessing it was that I was able to give this part of myself to help them. A few years have past, and today I received a message saying that most of these women have been rehoused to motels and are doing so much better.
The part that shocked me was that we are being honored by CHUM (Capitol Hill United Ministries) and WHI (Women's Homeless Initiative) with a celebration (see below) called Giving From The Heart. Phil Weiser is going to speak, and Shelvis and the Roustabouts and others.... I couldn't be more surprised!!

THIS .....the Insurance Co's and Big Pharmaceutical, are controlling all sides of the issues, making billions, and then crying victim. And they want to make you believe that the affordable care act (that actually tries to keep you from getting ripped off) is the problem. SMH.

I just commented on a post that said the measles outbreak in South Carolina just doubled in one week, now with 434 confirmed cases.
Let me say this: Im not sure if people realize that getting the measles wipes out much of the body's past immunity. This means they become vulnerable to other diseases that they were able to fight off. The virus itself attacks the immune memory B cells. Long lasting effects can make people susceptible to other illnesses such as pneumonia or chikenpox, long after the measles rash has gone.

A little holiday message from me:
Wishing my diverse and vibrant nursing family a beautiful season, whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, or simply the end of another year! This holiday season, know that your essential, often unseen work is valued. I would like to take a moment and recognize your worth as a nurse! I would like to acknowledge you and the responsiblities you take on every day. I would like to validate the dedication you bring to caring for others (not only patients, but families and colleagues, and our healthcare system). I woud like to identify some of the attributes of a nurse that you bring to the table, ranging from advocacy, expertise and compassion, to holding up integrity, trust and ethics, to continuing to learn new things, and somehow you remain strong and resilient through it all. I hope you find many moments of connection, strength, and peace, and that the light of your service continues to shine bright to bring hope, care, and comfort to others. Happy Holidays.

THIS IS WORKPLACE VIOLENCE. This Social Worker was stabbed to death on the hospital unit. Healthcare workers are 5 times more the victim than any other worker. It has to stop.

A 31-year-old social worker who was stabbed multiple times in an attack at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital died Saturday, police said.

This is beyond unacceptable. It is criminal in my opinion.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, ProPublica published a devastating investigation revealing how Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother from San Antonio, died after being repeatedly denied medical care under Texas’s extreme abortion ban. In response, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28), author of the Women’s Health Pr...
