Gluten Free Life

I almost choked on a sip of coffee this morning when I was listening to a Tom Bilyeu episode over breakfast.
The video is all about money and its impact on people, for better or worse. It is a brilliant talk to listen to. Here is the part I almost choked on. A story he used as an example of a monetary situation.
"Tom Bilyeu tells a symbolic story, a friend comes to him and asks:
*A friend, “ My wife and I are just really struggling in our marriage right now. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. We've talked, and I love this woman, so I'd like to put forward an idea. Let me know what you think we should do?" I'm going to start choking her a little bit. (This is where I nearly choked on my coffee) Not a lot, but just a little, you know what I mean. Like, if she gets out of pocket, I'm just going to choke her, like a tiny bit.”
*Tom Bilyeu, "The (expletive) are you talking about?" That is like the worst possible thing that you could do. I get that there's a problem, but the solution you're proposing is madness. It's the thing that won't work. It's not like one of the things that won't work. It's the (expletive worst) thing. It's the thing that will have her run for the (expletive) door! I get it. Relationship problems are real. We have to solve them. But, there is physics to this stuff.”
No Kidding! Tom then continues his talk, saying we must look back through history to see what works and what does not.

Have you felt the effects of the wildfire smoke? Here are a few up-to-date notes. The most extensive wildfires sending smoky fog into eastern Canada and northern US States are caused by currently burning fires in remote, hard-to-reach areas across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.
*It is said that all of the wildfires have been intentionally set and then spread through the dead wood and brush, which acts like kindling. This is a devastating loss of about 6.7 million acres of forest that impacts humans, animals, flora, and fauna of all types.
Particularly affected are the approximately 22,000 Manitobans who have been evacuated from their homes by wildfires. Only a few communities have been cleared to return home, and they expect to be able to return by the middle of September. Many are from the Pimicikamak Cree Nation, who are being housed in hotels in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
*Lightning is a cause of fire, but the human element is certainly preventable through being well-informed. Negligence, occupational mismanagement, and deliberate arson cause 70-90% of wildfire starts. Being better informed will help in the future.
Arson, however, is a dangerous game played by Arsonists, who most often have mental and psychological disorders without an internal reference measurement for the harm they are inflicting on others. Anger and a lack of empathy for others are factors that contribute to individuals engaging in this behavior, often for revenge, to conceal a crime, or for perceived financial gain or notoriety. Devices can start wildfires, and “hot sets” are commonly used to ignite fires.
*Arson is a felony, punishable by imprisonment of one year or more and a fine. A suspect found guilty of arson may also be responsible for all costs associated with the suppression, rehabilitation of land, and damages incurred by the wildfire they set. However, due to their imbalanced mental state, they often feel they can get away with it. Some are caught, fortunately, and that simple act will ruin their finances and freedom.
*This is where concerned citizens and visitors to the area can make a difference. If you see a person who appears suspicious or overhear an angry rant about setting things on fire, it is good to report it, especially in the summer fire season. Act responsibly.
Unfortunately for those of us experiencing difficulties caused by the current smoke, coming in from the Canadian Prairies, and releasing large amounts of smoke, impacting cities across Canada and the USA, there are a few ways to help prevent discomfort.

*You can stay indoors with windows and doors closed; however, sometimes some comes into the house anyway. Use an air purifier, and monitor air quality reports. If you must go outside, wear an N95 or P100 respirator and limit your time outdoors. https://amzn.to/4mwrwD1
If you can't purify your whole house, designate one room as a clean air space with a HEPA filter.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH SCEDULING FOR KIDS? Much of what we use today is digital, and our children or grandchildren don’t have the same visual references that we do. We know what a clock face looks like in our minds. However, we now use digital clocks on the kitchen stove, or in the bedroom, and so on. There is almost no way to relate that in ten minutes it will be time to leave for school, time for bed, time for snacks or lunch… Why not invest in an old-fashioned wall clock with a time face and digital times? They are inexpensive, and you can cut out a big hand and temporarily stick it on the cover and show your child. “See, when the hand inside the clock gets to here, it will be time to go get ready for bed. See you have 15 more minutes for playtime.”
