Preparedness Plan

Official dgivens

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

A preparedness plan is essential for ensuring the safety of everyone involved in an emergency. Ideally, this plan should include a designated evacuation route, clearly marked exits, and a meeting point outside the immediate danger zone. Both printed and digital emergency contact info for local authorities, medical services, and key personnel should be readily available. Keeping emergency supplies on hand, like first aid kits, flashlights, batteries, non-perishable food and bottled water, is important. During an emergency, everyone should understand their roles and responsibilities, and updates to the plan should be made as needed to address new risks.

Escape the Chaos: Find Peace in the Bathroom

The pace of life never slows down. From notifications to work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But what if peace wasn’t as far away as a weekend getaway? Wouldn’t it be nice if it was just around the corner? Often overlooked, the bathroom is the perfect place to mentally relax and unwind.

It’s the one room where being alone is okay. Sit in silence, breathe deeply, and let your mind wander. It’s a pocket of peace in the middle of a hectic day, whether you’re soaking in a hot bath, standing under a steaming shower, or dimming the lights. You don’t need luxury – you need intention. Just five minutes of quiet can change your mood and make you stronger.

Try slipping away to your bathroom the next time life gets too loud. Turn off your phone, close the door, and just be. It’s there that you might find more peace than you expected – and exactly what you need to face the world again.

Gather your loved ones, embrace spontaneity, and enjoy your Sunday Funday!

Trying to find joy in the middle of a vast darkness

Official dgivens

Trying to find joy in the middle of a vast darkness can seem impossible when all hope is lost. Yet, even the smallest spark of joy can make a world of difference during our darkest moments. When we look for comfort in the simple things around us — like the warmth of a blanket, the taste of a favorite food, or the sound of laughter — we can find a little bit of peace. The small things you do for yourself and others can become lifelines, helping you recognize that there’s always something good to look forward to in life, even when the big things fade.

In times of despair, joy can become a quiet rebellion against hopelessness. Sometimes it starts as a tiny flicker — a memory of a better time, or an appreciation of something beautiful. By embracing these moments of joy, we can remember that life is worth living, despite its struggles. Slowly, these moments can grow, creating space for resilience, not necessarily banishing our pain, but existing alongside it. Sometimes, finding and acknowledging these glimmers of joy can reawaken our sense of purpose, grounding ourselves in the strength that hope, however faint, still exists.

Why I Started Juicing

Official dgivens

The benefits of juicing have made it an essential part of my daily routine. Juicing provides me with an easy and delicious way to incorporate fruits and vegetables into my diet. It allows me to easily consume nutrients and vitamins that are vital for maintaining good health. Juicing has also improved my digestion and energy levels, making me feel more active and vibrant throughout the day.

My second reason for juicing is to achieve my overall wellness and weight management goals. In addition to detoxifying my body and reducing inflammation, juicing has been extremely beneficial for my skin and overall health. Incorporating fresh juices into my diet has helped feel more balanced. Juicing has become a lifestyle choice that not only benefits my physical health but also brings me joy and satisfaction.

Combating Inflammation

Official dgivens

One of the most effective fruits for combating inflammation is the pineapple. As pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme known to have anti-inflammatory properties, it can help alleviate symptoms related to inflammation. Bromelain reduces swelling, bruising, and pain, making it particularly beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and sports injuries.

In addition, pineapple is a rich source of vitamin C, which has anti-inflammatory effects by scavenging free radicals and enhancing immunity. Incorporating pineapple into your diet, whether it is fresh, juiced, or added to smoothies, is a delicious way to reduce inflammation in the body while promoting overall health.
