We seek healing in different formats, each of us is different in the way we survive each day and heal from our past. Kayne West released his new album Jesus is King. I found it to be filled with inspiration in so many ways for every day living and navigating storms. There are many layers to the music, a one time listen won't be enough. If you are on a path to healing, this may be a great journey for you. No surprise Kayne West created another masterpiece mixing up genres and moving people with poetic truth.

Some of my favorites Follow God and Water ohhh wait and also Closed on Sunday.
This will be on repeat for a while. Healing and growing come in different packages. I hope this helps you in finding peace, happiness, and joy in your life.

Today we are fortunate to have access to information at our fingertips. It can also make us vulnerable to false information and even myths. There has been a proactive effort from social media to clean up the problem, but part of it comes from our individual's responsibility to fact check information. And when you get something wrong, fix it, don't get spreading it. Each day we learn and grow, make sure you are fueling yourself with the right information. And before you ever take any medical advice from anyone, always consult with your doctor.
Wishing you happiness, good health, and the facts.

FALL COLOR FUN
Michigan has some of the most beautiful fall colors in the country. Late September until mid-October is the best time to witness the brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges that paint the landscape. Check out mynorth.com for a fall color map that details what dates are best. You don’t have to go Up North to view the fall colors; there is a local color route that is a 150-mile loop from Flint to Bloomfield Hills and back to Brighton. While you are driving, you can look for these stops we found that are worth checking out.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS
Bloomfield Hills is home to Cranbrook Institute, a National Historic Landmark. They boast 319 acres of gardens and museums, which are home to some of the world’s leading centers in science, art, and education. It houses the Contemporary Art Museum, Natural History Museum, Cranbrook Institute of Science, and Cranbrook House and Gardens. It is set into a lush landscape that will be full of trees bright with fall colors and beautifully landscaped gardens. You can even see Dinosaur skeletons!
Cranbrook is located at
39221 Woodward Ave,
Bloomfield Hills, MI.

FLINT
Start your color drive with a stop at For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum. They have over 380 acres of nature preserves and 7 miles of hiking trails to work off some of those after school wiggles.

2142 N. Genesee Road, Burton, MI.

BRIGHTON RECREATION CENTER
The center has 4,947 acres of woodland and offers a horseback color tour for a closer look at the spectacular colors.

Hurley Foundation has unveiled the new Dr. R. Roderic Abbott Medical Education Center. The center provides technology-enhanced rooms for training and conferences within the hospital, enhancing our vision to be “leaders in transforming health through academic and clinical excellence, expanding access to innovative care.”

Comprised of 7 different rooms, the renovation was made possible through generous donations from both current and retired medical professionals in our community who see the value in continuing education. All rooms have been sponsored, however, other sponsorship opportunities are available.

Dr. R. Roderic Abbott was known as a selfless oncologist who believed every patient had the right to the best care possible, regardless of their ability to pay. He never took a salary from the hospital and donated any patient payments back to Hurley. Fundraising Committee Chair Dr. Jitendra P. Katneni says, “Dr. Abbott respected everybody. We learned a lot of things from him, not just medicine, but how to be as a person.” Dr. Margaret Setter-Abbott, wife of the late Dr. Abbott, followed that sentiment saying, “He truly was selfless in what he did. Everyone was his friend and that meant so much to him.”

Hurley Foundation is proud to continue Dr. R. Roderic Abbott’s legacy of compassion and giving. We welcome donations to the medical education center and will continue to honor donors at a permanent display at the entrance to the center. Donations can be made at www.hurleyfoundation.org/donate
