Start Times and Segments:

[0:00:35] What’s On Your Mind: Social wellness - a post with ideas to make connections with other people.

[0:09:31] Expanding Minds Interview: [Many areas of Wellness] Rev. Nora Feuten received a terminal cancer diagnosis. She shares her impressions and experiences as she faces the situation. She knows that death is part of life, even though we like to pretend it isn’t. Every moment is precious. Every person you meet is precious. Every experience you have is precious. You keep that in mind. Life probably has more to do with the quality of our witness than achievement – the way we express in our lives a kind of creative hopefulness. A kind of morality is important, but not the strict kind of morality – a morality that’s based on a care and concern for the other, whether it’s another person or the earth or what. We need to have that.

[0:25:16] Adventures of the Starving Artist: Cameron is mostly over Covid and feeling better. He’ played serious catch-up with work, with lots of curveballs and fires to put out. He’s headed to Colorado for a wedding.

[0:29:14] Move That Body: Sheila quizzes Elise about the six major muscle groups in a weights workout.

[0:34:46] Running Popup: Seeing someone making running movements while moving at a walking pace. Why it was great to see.

[0:36:49] Flipside of the Coin: An analogy – finding balance in life is kind of like getting the chemicals balanced in a swimming pool.
