Awww, thanks for letting me know, I love meeting others born "in the mid-1900s"! 😜 Hope the links help. I wish more people understood the mind-body-emotions connection, how to use it to improve well being. 💙

Agreed, repeal Citizens United & halt all lobbyists' bribes. If politicians don't do their jobs, they're fired & lose all benefits, as WE WOULD in any job. 🌊

Also take away these slackers' post-employment benefits too. I don't know of ANY employers that provide ex-employees with lifelong healthcare benefits.

Right on, David! 🌊 But some males love power & won't share it with anyone, no matter how much they mess up everything.
