“When an animal’s biological age runs higher than its chronological one, it can signal physiological strain — a kind of molecular distress flare that may go off before any other visible signs of problems.”
Highlighting research in Canada too.

“And I will stroll the merry way & jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferryboats & they'll get high
On a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk & talk in gardens all wet with rain…”

March 29 - Sandy Denny, one of the co-founders of Fairport Convention
A vintage black and white portrait of a young girl wearing a sailor-style outfit and a bow in their hair.
30 March 1931 | A Polish Jewish girl, Machla Hipszer, was born in Sosnowiec.
In August 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz from the Będzin ghetto and murdered in a gas chamber.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
True success is measured by impact ✨. If even one life is lighter because of your presence, your kindness, or your efforts 💗, then you’ve already succeeded in the ways that truly matter. In the end, it’s not about what we’ve accumulated 💰 but about how we’ve lifted others 🤝 that defines our legacy.
Today’s Mantra:
I AM filled with light.
I AM surrounded by light.
I AM guided by light.
I AM protected by light.
I AM Light.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Today’s Mantra:

and living from love.
My love is bigger than my fear.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
One year (earlier this month) for me, too. I completely relate and wish you well. It’s tough. 💐
I agree. Excellent book!

Hugs and blessings to all who are grieving. I lost my Mom a year ago today, and feel like I am still not ok. It’s crazy how life just keeps on going…
Today’s Mantra:
I AM the love the world is needing.
My loving presence makes a difference.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
