Often Mother’s Day falls somewhere within Nurses Week which makes it a double-good celebration. Whether you are a mother or not, we all have had mothers. I hope you have all had time to celebrate with your loved ones or had some great phone calls or Face Times. I hope you’re enjoying your Nurses Week. Take time to honor yourself and practice essential self care routines. Self care is so very important for all nurses!! Stay tuned in….Later in the week, I will announce a couple of Give Aways and provide rules to participate.

Spring Holidays
I hope everyone had a great Easter, Passover, Ramadan or whatever you celebrate this time of year! I read that it’s once every 33 years that these three holidays coincide.

Breathe, drink in the beauty around you and do something for YOU! Happy Spring! Kathy

The widespread misinformation from the very beginning and even now has cost Americans in millions of ways including financially, economically, job status, family relationships, etc. We pay for it every day at the grocery store, the gas pump, in the cost of all goods and services and the total lack of them.
