Know The Signs Early
August is Autoinflammatory Awareness Month, a reminder that living well starts with listening to your body. Persistent or recurring symptoms such as unexplained fevers, joint pain, fatigue, rashes, or ongoing inflammation should never be ignored. While these symptoms can have many causes, they may also be signs of a rare autoinflammatory disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve long term health and quality of life. If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms or have concerns, speak with your local healthcare practitioner. The Canadian Autoinflammatory Network provides trusted education, resources, and support for individuals, families, and healthcare professionals. Learn more at

Hope Begins With First
In 2022, our son Will suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. After 510 days in hospital and rehabilitation, he came home, but his recovery needed more than traditional therapy. First Steps Wellness Centre gave him renewed independence, confidence, friendships, and hope, through the research supported activity based therapy (ABT) clients receive. Sadly, the centre closed, leaving many families without this vital support. Today, seven volunteers are working to reopen this unique Manitoba non-profit rehabilitation centre for people living with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke, MS, and CP. Every donation helps restore hope. Please support our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8767f9585 |
August Intuitive Insight
Oracle Card drawn by Lygia Ramcharan. WELLNESS:
This month, focus on Self-care. Do what makes your heart sing. Be open to events, get-togethers, and social gatherings. Take some ‘ME’ time. Rest, relax, and sleep when required. You need time to replenish and grow, just as your garden does. Rejuvenate so you have clarity in making decisions, and recognize purpose and synchronicity in your life. You are upgrading into a higher version of yourself! So, invest the gift of time with yourself to support your next steps.
