I like to start with happy topics so I also want to share that as I keep on performing at Mi Pueblito every thursday, I will also be playing with Las Latin Chicks on Saturdays Sept 1 and 15th at Salento Cafe on Rice Bvd at 8pm.
This Sunday 26th, John Fain will discuss vitamins and supplements. I realize how confusing this can all be and that is why I invited him. At one point I was taking 25 different supplements and vitamins a day, then I met with a naturopath who told me my body couldn't digest all of them. At the time I was struggling with some liver and gall bladder problems. I am now still taking a lot of supplements, but these are not synthetic like most of those sold in health food stores.
As I rehabilitate from knee surgery, my lower back is starting to act up. Please if you know of a great back pain specialist let me know. I am looking for a good one.
I am excited about the show on depression and women. Surely, a lot of us got a wake up call with the Andrea Yates case. She suffered from post partum psychosis which is very different from depression, yet it did start a much needed conversation about post partum depression. The truth is women do not need to suffer needlessly and if you or someone you know feels depressed longer than a week after a baby, Please get help. The mental health association is a good place to start. If your doctor does not bring it up, don't blame it on him or her. They are not getting much education about it in medical school.
That show with the compassionate and knowleagable Laurel Spence will air on Sept 23rd after our membership drive. By the way, we do need community support as always. Recently we had lay offs.
On Sept 30th a topic I feel very passionate about is food addiction. I do believe we can become addicted to some foods and my own eating rule is not to eat anything out of a box. Yes, I know it sounds drastic, but I have stopped eating processed foods and it has really helped my health and weight to say the least! In a few months we'll have a better understanding of obesity in America when we learn many are addicted to sugars and flowers.
Right now I am working on a story on shame. This is for season 4. This was one of the most moving stories I have ever done. We all suffer from shame at some point of another. Is it human nature to feel at times inadequate? I know I do sometimes. What about our desire to feel loved and wanted? Surely, that is normal and universal but what if we fail in a relationship? What if we don't get along with our parents or our co workers? What does that mean? What if we are not like "other" people? We don't fit in. These are questions we all tend to have in our lives. How we answer them and how we cope will define how happy or content we are. In many cases, especially women struggle with the thought that to have value or to feel fulfilled, they must be loved by a man. Why is it we humans depend on others to love us to love ourselves so many times? These are questions I would like answered when I talk to shame researcher Dr. Brene Brown in Season 4 of Living Smart.
Monday
Living Smart on hitaus, and music concerts
Dear friends: Our show with Gracie Cavnar on childhood obesity and John Fain on foods and supplements will have to wait until August 19th at 3pm and August 26 also at 3pm respectively (Both shows will re air on the following thursdays at 1:30pm)
We will have a much needed membership drive in August.
While the show is on hiatus, I am busy with my music and working on season 4 of Living Smart. I am also playing with my duo every thursday at Mi Pueblito and August 24th at 8pm we'll be at Salento Cafe in the village. I am also truly excited about a special concert at the Artery on November 10th. I will have a new repertoire with my band Quartus and some new original songs. We wrote the theme song for Living Smart a few years back and it has worked very well for the upbeat, positive uplifting message of the show.
In Season 4, the topics I will be covering will be
Dealing with shame
The science of addiction
Cultivating Happiness
Financial Literacy for Women and Teens
Protecting yourself from identity theft and other legal quagmires
Preventing youth violence
Naturopathy, healing and why we are tired all the time
Taking care of your parents
Developing critical thinking skills and media literacy
Creating your own path for fullfillment
Green architecture
Sustainability and what you can do
Learning compassion and revitalizing communities
As I am meeting with potential donors to Living Smat I get asked why I do this so I thought I would share with you why I feel so strongly about Living Smart. First of all I have to agree with Ralph!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
My wish is that Living Smart brings life resources to our viewers, in a fun, succinct and innovative way. It is about the quiet heroes, the pioneers, the activists. Those outstanding professionals who have made a difference in our lives. What drives them is a commitment to leave this world better than they received it. They are of different colors, religions and cultures. American heroes whose values are similar for they each have a burning desire to help others, improve the quality of life by sharing life skills for a better future. They all specialize in different fields and are passionate about their work, their commitments and others.
Their goal is to empower others in different areas of life. They provide information and results not often covered in mainstream media and have made admirable contributions that have been given little notoriety.
These are the unsung heroes who are featured in Living Smart.
Keep watching. Take care and Keep Living Smart, it is much easier than Living Dumb!
