Hits and Misses

Over the past couple of weeks there have definitely been some hits and misses.

The Grand Ones have come and gone and they were delightful...so purely joyful and loving. What struck me most from watching them was that, from the very beginning, we humans seem to have a natural curiosity and sense of exploration and also a natural need to connect, whether through the soft touch of a hand, coos and giggles or twinkle of an eye. They really enchanted me...I couldn't take my eyes off of them. They were beyond "hits". Pure joy.

The "misses" were annoying...moments where I found myself muttering, "Really?" But, good always prevails and time manages to keep pulling us forward and into a new day. Awesome.

This Women and Wednesday post is "hit parade" of sorts. There are a three helpful "skin" things to share from my dermo:

First, sunscreen for all ages every day of exposure. Do not wait until your little one is 6 months! If you need a recommendation for a safe, non-toxic sunscreen, just ask me. Secondly, from a study first done in Australia and the repeated in Scotland: the sun exposure before age 9 greatly determines the number of moles that show up later on your skin. Heredity plays a role, of course, but sun rules! And lastly, melanomas occur most often from new growths and are most commonly found on men's backs and the backs of women's legs.

Then, some more "hits" for your inner and outer wellness...the top three foods to eat: kale, blueberries and broccoli. Now, no surprises there, but how fun that all three usually appear in my morning shake!




Lastly, I try to remember the wisdom of adages, like the one where things come in threes!  Here are three (plus one to grow on!) other beautiful "hits" to share. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
