AWEE

 



Anxiety today is everywhere. I seek relaxing and renewing ways. Play for me is my prescription for fun and fitness  There are countless ways I explore to best manage my stress. 

Exercising my well being transforms the awful into the awesome. Awakening With Enthusiasic Exercise (AWEE) is how I deal with my angst.

Our mental health crisis is the tip of a gigantic iceberg. Nearly 20% of our adult population or 40 million adults now suffer from anxiety.

Add to this depression. Depression can be either as a lack of enthusiasm or as inner anger. Whatever the reason it seems to be growing it is a number one mental health challenge.

Wealth doesn't necessarily translate into well being. My independence is based on my interdependence. This inner form of fragmentation may cause my mental breakdown.

The symptom is that I have to reconnect with people, places and things.  When I show Divine respect this reverence becomes a form of self love.

Social media has created sort of a master/slave situation with hierarchical divisions reinforced by self-serving affluence. Another form of exercising is lessen  consumption.  Less becomes more.

Yes there's a dynamic to tension and sensitive balance. My disease is cured when I find ease.

There's both inner and outer health. Laughing is so much better than crying so lighten up
I become a champ not a chump. Championimg each moment with peace, love and joy I heal. I the become kind and gentle with myself -Well Yes.

McMahon states "Green space adds value to property." Not only would these areas of conservation drive economic trends upward, but they also improve the overall health of the surrounding community. For example, substituting things like golf courses with conservation areas would essentially increase surrounding property value while diminishing overpriced maintenance fees. The same holds true for airports and other large acre-eating developments. Some of these areas are already abandoned or unkempt. For instance, park and recreational areas that were once highly visited have become urban wastelands. In an articl

Page County Landfill Story

Recently, Ryan Grim’s article “Marvin’s Dirty Secret,” appeared in the October Rolling Stone Magazine exposing how the President’s brother’s waste company went bankrupt. This firm left behind Page County , Virginia citizens to pay a $8.5 million dollars environmental bill. Page County has a population of 24,000 and is a hour-and-a-half drive west of Washington D.C next to the Blue Ridge Mountains . It is also home to a major Virginia tourist attraction, Luray Caverns. Page County has been spent a lot of time dealing with landfill issues . There have been numerous questions of conflicts of interest . It’s as if a huge political football is being kicked around regarding what happened and why over the private operation of one unlined landfill and a mega-landfill recently closed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) for ongoing violations and excessive trash intake . There have been many anomalies in the operation of these Page County landf
