Book Review: Remember to Live:
Embracing the Second Half of Life
Remember to Live discusses the importance of living your life now, and “remembering to live” by keeping your priorities clearly before you and using your time, talent, energy, and material resources accordingly. When we face the fact that life is not limitless, it clarifies our vision and intention. We stop putting things off for “someday.” None of us can escape life experiences like aging, illness, loss, or death. Do we deal with those reminders with fear and trepidation or with a desire to learn the lessons they have to teach and to continue growing through our encounters with them?

Reach Your Potential and Invest in Self Care
When you are on an airplane, the flight attendant always tells you to put on your mask before helping anyone else. Why? Because you are no good to anyone else if you aren’t well. The same goes for everyday life. If you want to reach your potential, invest in self-care. Here are two tips. 1) Schedule YOU time in your calendar as if it were an important meeting. Start with once a week and eventually, try for once a day. 2) Use that YOU time to do anything that helps YOU be well. Take a bath, read a book, watch a show, go for a walk, or, practice mindfulness.

Pure Water for Pregnancy
Prenatal and postnatal infants have very weak immune systems, so the purity and safety of the water they ingest are extremely important. Typical chlorine or UV-light disinfection methods used by municipalities and bottlers are ineffective at eliminating the toughest bacteria and pathogens from tap and bottled water. Bottled water, although an essential disinfection method for preparing baby formula, can concentrate some harmful chemicals like nitrates or lead. Bottled and tap water often contain carcinogenic disinfection by-products like bromate or tri-halomethanes (THMs), which have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriages, birth defects, and low birth weights.
