A fellow community member shared a very interesting article about planning for our healthspan as we age. So much focus is on saving for retirement and making sure we have enough money to take care of us in our LIFESPAN, but my question is this..... How many of us are focused on self-care to extend our HEALTHSPAN? What's the difference? -Lifespan is how long you will live -Healthspan is how well you will live out those years I hope this community will help you expand the duration and quality of your years. Please read the article and share the ways you are taking care of your HEALTHSPAN and how this community can support you. https://drdammhealthspan.substack.com/p/your-retirement-savings-cant-buy?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=6532927&post_id=199486937&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=5q30f4&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

Whew! May was a busy month! Usually, the monthly live classes here are uploaded within a couple days. This month, it took me over a week! You can watch them and other classes here https://www.skool.com/blissful-living-academy-4719/classroom I did a lot of cooking this past month and @Kathleen Wright and I were fortunate enough to be together hosting a retreat! Here are some my photos of three May events - Mother's Day retreat, May's class here and a Retreat in Asheville area. Share your memories from our events together.

Hi- I am from North Carolina. My favorite yoga poses are Yin Yoga forward poses to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system that promote relaxation and healing. I love to cook vegetables; roasted, steamed and sautéed.

Astronaut Victor Glover, who was one of the 4 Artemis II astronauts to travel around the moon quoted this about the earth: “You have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together.” In the infinite space of the universe, here we are on this little blue planet. It sustains us, it protects us and allows for us to explore this existence as a human being. Not only do we exist together as human, we exist together with the earth. I truly believe what is happening between us as people, is reflected in how the earth is reacting and how it is stressing our Oasis. There are many ways we can respect and protect our Oasis. For me, I focus on eating organic whole foods, local when possible, shopping with reusable bags and avoid pre-packaged foods. On vacations, I've been known to do a trash pick-up on the beach. These are a few small ways. How do you? Extra credit - Share a recent picture of you in the oasis near you. Schoolhouse Falls, Cashiers NC
