so important and so difficult in this dystopian time
repost :
Keep seeking the light. I know it can be hard, but a light exists in all of us. Even in dark times, we must believe that there is goodness, that the light will come again. Even the act of believing, the act of seeing the light in others, is a way of having hope and moving humanity forward.

My annual just-woke-up quick birthday morning selfie: 61 years old, sleep-in-my-eyes, no hairbrush, no makeup, and, of course, no filters/photo edits. Thrown into menopause at 43 with breast cancer chemo, then 10 years of an antiestrogen, so I’ve been post menopausal for over 15 years. Interventions? Biggest investment is my teeth - full veneers and now a tooth implant - but worth it . Could use a touch of tox and fillers - last tox 2024, filler 2023 - and I will tweak at some point. Had 3 RF skin tightening treatments face and emsculptneo abd/butt last summer/fall . My topical regime: foaming wash, nectar, eryfotona, lipikar and when traveling, fragrance free balm. I take 1.25mg Minoxidil (prescription) and 2 ISDIN Lambdipil for my hair and just restarted topical for my eyelashes and eyebrows (the latter microbladed by ). Other daily OTC supplements: vit D bc low after menopause, and probiotic and metamucil for my gut. I force myself to exercise - building in challenges like runs, hyrox motivates - and eat balanced - as my mom said ‘all the colors’, low fat, plenty of protein, more fresh than processed, and I enjoy celebrating life with wine, baked goods, ice cream. When people say, “aging sucks,” I say, “it’s better than the alternative so enjoy it!” And I make these ‘anti-aging’ things as easy and low stress as possible because there is already more than enough stress coming from elsewhere.

📹: As the sun sets over Sassari, Italy, massive flocks of starlings sweep across the sky, shifting into spheres, waves, and drifting planes. This phenomenon is called a murmuration, named for the soft, continuous sound created by thousands of wings beating in perfect coordination. Although the exact purpose remains uncertain, scientists believe these formations help the birds stay warm and protect themselves from predators.

Murmurations feel like nature’s own artwork, with each bird moving as a single brushstroke in a vast, ever-shifting canvas stretched across the evening sky.

What a difference 50 years makes. The 70s were far from perfect. The USA and the world had a lot of serious problems - many since improved. But it seemed we could agree on what made America special - our rule of law, freedom of speech for individuals and the media, democracy composed of three pillars of government providing checks and balances, a country built on those from other countries seeking a better life, where our evils - oppression of native americans, slavery, detention of japanese-americans, segregation - and those of the world - the inquisition, holocaust and all before, in between, and after - were taught in school so we would learn from and not repeat them. The statue of liberty with her welcoming poem was a symbol of the bicentennial. We were the land of the Horatio Alger story and proud of our varied cultures and landscapes, reflected in our food, music, and national parks. All these values and teachings are being erased - in rhetoric, thought and from government websites, museums, schoolrooms, libraries - and our government safeguards against fascism, ignored. 🙏 for our America the beautiful we sang about at my 6th grade graduation.

Yup, I said it. I don’t live to go to the gym, I go to the gym to live. More and more evidence that muscle is key: improves metabolism, digestion, bone density, provides a protein reservoir, hastens recovery from illness or injury, and prolongs longevity, functionality and independence. Strength, flexibility, balance, bone density, and cardiovascular health all reduce the risk of a fall or significant injury if you do fall. And they allow you to enjoy activities! PS Apologize again for the loud sniffling. Didn’t want blowing my nose to interrupt the video flow. 🤧

Thought for the new year - instead of resolutions for the future, make a list of things you’re happy about, grateful for, looking forward to now. I know I’m lucky to have good health (nearing 18 years cancer free), and a body and brain that work for me, and the friendship and mutual appreciation of good people. I recognize I’m very privileged to have been able to retire early, travel the world, engage in intellectual and physical activities I love, see old friends and meet new. But it doesn’t have to be long, complicated, or high end. We are blessed if we have a roof over our heads, food to eat, health and safety for family/friends, and the capacity for kindness, empathy, and logical thinking. Make a mental and/or note of your list. When you hit the inevitable challenge, or even full on 💩show, stop, breathe, and remember your list. PS Sorry for all the ‘um’s and sniffles. I find talking and walking - esp in the cold - a lot tougher than talking while driving as I did in my reels when I commuted by car.
