"Creating pieces of wood art is both a mental and physical exercise," says Richard Unis of San Diego. "I’m doing what I can to prevent progression through physical activity.
"Each board I create is a journey and a meditation. Each piece tells a story. ... it is this personal connection and interpretation that makes the creative process so rewarding.

In my social feeds, muscling for space with the bad, depressing headlines, you're gonna find tons of owls! Beautiful, intriguing, majestic, funny — I can't get enough of them. And this is all new for me too… Hoo knows where it came from? But when I can't get outside due to weather, I'm scrolling for these screechers.
Now, care to share? What were your 2025 sources for laughs, lightheartedness, wonder, joy?

2025 Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza just became the first player from Indiana Univ. to win the award and he's using his platform to change lives. He and his brother Alberto (who backs up Fernando at QB) are spotlighting their nonprofit Mendoza Brothers' Fight Against MS, which they set up to honor their mom, Elsa, who lives with MS. It's not every day you win the award for college football player of the year, so Fernando is using his time to roll his excitement into support for the MS Society, providing info, services and research for people and families affected by #MultipleSclerosis . #MultipleSclerosis #MightyTogether #newlydiagnosed #Disability #Caregiving #autoimmune

Like a car in wintertime, it doesn't want to turn off = tremors.
Sit down —> engine knock
Cross my legs —> engine knock
Sneeze —> engine knock
Things that have helped: Heat/warmth (a blanket, sunning yourself). Stretching or exercising the leg. Holding or pressing the knee in place. Oral baclofen.
What has finally stopped it was getting a baclofen pump. Like what has helped country star Clay Walker (search for our recent post about him), this hockey puck-sized implant feeds powerful micro-doses of baclofen (a muscle relaxant) directly to your spinal cord. If the tightness, pain and fatigue of spasticity starts taking over your life, ask your specialist about this option. I've had this for eight years and it has changed our lives. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Took a trip to a small zoo yesterday with my client and his wife. He is a Vietnam war vet who suffers with dementia, and I'm his caregiver for 20 hours a week. This has been a challenging experience for different reasons, but we've had so many wonderful moments. Coloring, racing Hot Wheels, bird and butterfly watching, finding toys for him to play with, and exploring local parks. He even got a new puppy this year (a chihuahua named Pita). Him and I got to feed flamingos together for the first time, and we were tickled pink (pun inteded) by this (really, it was weird and amazing, would recommend lol). I just wanted to share this because it means so much to me, so thanks for reading. I hope you're all doing ok out there ✨️
