From Marcia, MFR member:
Hello Friends, Clients, and Family who have NOT YET participated in Dr. Aimie’s 21 Day or Foundational Journeys!
Who wants to have tools to CALM your NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially before the Holiday Season? I am co-facilitating a 2-hour virtual retreat to demonstrate How To Give Yourself Doses of Safety & Pull Yourself Out of Overwhelm.
Through a combination of teaching and guided exercises of Somatic Work, Art Therapy, and exploring Mind-Body Dialogue, you will understand your body and its challenges on a much deeper level, so that you can find more inner peace and calm aliveness. Mentor Kelsey Budge and I will teach you how to recognize your unique way in which stress and overwhelm has impacted your body and guide you through 2 additional somatic exercises to safely start the body's healing journey.

Sing Along - Mikey Likes Fairfax - Lyrics Below the Song
I have an old friend, born and raised right here in Fairfax, who’s been minding his own businesses here, year after year. He had thought of semi-retirement and a chance to finally relax, when he was called upon once again to volunteer.
They said “the small town character of Fairfax, is once again at stake. Seven story building here on Broadway would be such a huge mistake. Mikey, there’s a big decision we encourage you to to make. Won’t you please run for town council, the situation is make or break.”
So Mikey G. thought it over and discussed it all with Frank, they decided to run a unity ticket to see if they might tank the housing element plans already laid and stop all the monty that’s being paid to lawyers and consultant from the General Fund with nothing ever getting done.
Mike like Fairfax — Get out and VOTE and show Mikey that Fairfax likes him back…He stands up for this town with heartfelt generosity, the proof is in the pudding for anyone to see. VOTE MIKEY!

Breast Cancer Survivor
As a breast cancer survivor going on 19 years of NO MAMMOGRAMS or other pHARMA procedures, I have always been against the PINKwashing of organizations like Susan G. Komen and others. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (who I have met many times) sums up the Pink Ribbon BS in this quote!!!! “How about instead of companies displaying pink ribbon this month, they just remove carcinogens from their products.” I was always concerned that many of the corporations that create these chemicals for agriculture or other businesses, also create the chemicals in the chemotherapy to ‘cure’ the damage from the other chemicals they created. It’s a win-win for them. No wonder they censoe RFK, Jr. about issues like this! I wonder what The Real Anthony Fauci would say about this.

As for PINK-washing, I used to call Susan G. Komen's "Race for the Cure," the "Race to Procure."
Wow, Michael and The Art of Life blew me away! Brought a tear to my eye...I can't even explain it. Thanks for sharing! I can't help but wish a child had been born out of one of his past relationships. Beautiful man inside and out.
