Is Your Indoor Air Healthy?
We all care about our family’s health, but have you considered the quality of the air inside of our homes? Allergies, illness, and long-term health can all be affected either in a positive or negative fashion depending on the quality of the air inside your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air inside your home can be 2 to 10 times more polluted than the outside air. It is difficult for our immune system to keep up with the abundance of pollen, dander, smoke, mold, bacteria, and chemical gases that are locked inside. Consider investing in an air purifier to keep your home and your family healthy.
Connecting With Connie
Our mission is to facilitate healthy aging connected to community life for older Manitobans and their families. We plan to do this by integrating program design and delivery of front-line services through leadership, learning, connection and community engagement with our members who are committed to an age friendly path. If older adults are socially isolated it may place them at an increased risk of being a victim of crime, abuse, falls, or other hazards. Maintaining meaningful social connections is important across the course of your life and can assist us all in aging well. Connect to your local senior centre/group.

Stay Limber and Pain Free
85% of our population will have an episode of disabling back pain at some point. Sedentary and sitting lifestyles are significant factors that reflect our busy lifestyles, commuting to work, driving kids around, sitting at a desk, etc. We’re meant to move; prolonged positions of any kind can be aggravating. Simple tips are to stretch in the morning before getting out of bed, use pillows between your knees while you sleep, get up and move at least once per hour. Both passive and active treatments are very important for back health such as physiotherapy, massage therapy, and exercise.
I Choose To Make My Life Sacred
Guided by our hearts, our experiences and life’s uncertainty, I choose to make my life sacred in all that I do. Creating ceremony and ritual, summoning potent powers and expansive greatness into the everyday actions of getting up each morning, honoring our bodies, encountering all we meet. Take a moment and stop resisting, let the earth breathe you, hold you and re-create the flow within. Make your desires known and open your heart wide, say thank you for all that you’ve been given. Believe in joy and the potency of the heart, allow breath to lift your restrictive beliefs into freedom. Find magic in the mundane. Once you recognize your freedom, say thank you for all that lives within, staying pregnant with possibility.
