I am extremely concerned about the state of mind of this country and what we are allowing and what we have voted in and what we are experiencing and, in in some ways, our lack of resistance to it, and our our silence and our complicity. And it all really comes down to love. And if we lose that ability, I don't think AI is going to help us with love, I don't think Instagram is going to help us with love. I feel like all of our habits that are increasing and increasing are pulling us apart even giving us the illusion that its not, but we are, and we have to remember what it is like to love people. In all of those forms. It is the thing that makes us human. And we have to stay human." Lily King   A few of my other favorite quotes from Writers & Lovers “When my mother died, I sort of felt her inside me sometimes,' I say. ‘Like I'd swallowed her.' He laughs. ‘Swallowed her.' ‘I still have moments when I feel that, when it feels like she's inside me, and there's no difference between us or that the difference doesn't matter.” ― Lily King, Writers & Lovers   “I can tell he lost someone close somehow. You can feel that in people, an openness, or maybe it's an opening that you're talking into. With other people, people who haven't been through something like that, you feel the solid wall. Your words go scattershot off of it.” ― Lily King, Writers & Lovers   “When I was visiting her a few years ago she hugged me and said, ‘Tomorrow after you leave I will stand here at this window and remember that yesterday you were right here with me.' And now she's dead and I have that feeling all the time, no matter where I stand.” ― Lily King, Writers & Lovers   “I look into my eyes, but they aren't really mine, not the eyes I used to have. They're the eyes of someone very tired and very sad, and once I see them I feel even sadder and then I see that sadness, that compassion, for the sadness in my eyes, and I see the water rising in them. I'm both the sad person and the person wanting to comfort the sad person. And then I feel sad for that person who has so much compassion because she's clearly been through the same thing, too. And the cycle keeps repeating. It's like when you go into a dressing room with a three-paneled mirror and you line them up just right to see the long narrowing hallway of yourselves diminishing into infinity. It feels like that, like I'm sad for an infinite number of my selves.” ― Lily King, Writers & Lovers   Note: Some links are listed as Amazon Affiliate Links.

Imagine healing after a sports injury just like you did when you were in your 20s. How about getting the benefits of expensive stem cell treatments without the injections and the huge expense? Topical stem cell therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional stem cell treatments, minimizing risks associated with injections. Dr. Tommy Rhee is a pioneer in regenerative medicine and promotes non-invasive stem cell therapy. He developed RheeGen, which is a safer stem cell alternative that doesn't use live cells or invasive procedures. His expertise spans many years. He has treated pro athletes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, UCLA athletes, and even the U.S. Navy. His latest book, The Future of Regenerative Medicine: Unlocking the Potential of Topical Stem Cell Therapy talks about how topical stem cell applications are reshaping healing and longevity. Dr. Rhee has been a practicing chiropractor since 2006 and served as the official team chiropractor of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years. Dr. Rhee has pioneered and was the first Master Provider of ART or Active Release Techniques in 2008, the first to bring Exercise with Oxygen Therapy or EWOT in 2012, WholeBody Cryotherapy in 2015, PiezoWave, Shockwave therapy in 2016, and CryoFox in 2018. All of these regenerative techniques can benefit women as well as men. Dr. Rhee covers it all and describes how topical stem cell therapy works and why it is a great way to heal and regenerate on this episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro.https://rheegen.com/https://tinyurl.com/bdze698yhttps://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#RheeGen #DrTommyRhee #DrThomasRhee #ShelleyJohnson #ShelleyMJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors, women empowerment, regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, non-invasive treatments, topical stem cell therapy, Dr Tommy Rhee, sports chiropractor, healing therapies, chronic pain management, sports medicine, pain management, health and wellness, injury recovery, women's health, athlete recovery, cryotherapy, exercise with oxygen therapy, anti-aging solutions

Episode Summary This episode of the "90 Miles from Needles" podcast does a racing dive into the fascinating topic of monsoonal rainstorms in the desert, focusing on their effects and significance. With detailed insights into recent rain events in Twentynine Palms, California, Chris shares the challenges and celebrations that accompany these powerful meteorological phenomena. Amid the backdrop of a biome shaped by water scarcity, the podcast explores both the danger and the necessity of monsoon rains, sparking reflections on desert life and conservation. Clarke elaborates on how water, despite its scarcity, is the primary sculptor of desert landscapes and essential for the survival of unique flora and fauna. He details the local impact of monsoonal rains on infrastructure and wildlife, emphasizing the importance of respecting and preparing for these natural events. Key Takeaways: Monsoonal rainstorms are pivotal in shaping and maintaining the unique ecosystems of deserts. Deserts are defined by their lack of water, with meteorological events like monsoons highlighting the delicate balance between scarcity and abundance in these environments. Human safety during monsoonal rains is paramount, as flash floods pose a significant risk to life and property, underscoring the importance of mindful interaction with desert landscapes. An engaging description of the scent of wet creosote after a monsoon provides a sensory glimpse into the captivating transformations brought about by these rainstorms. Environmental advocacy and awareness are crucial for protecting desert ecosystems from threats and promoting sustainable interactions with these fragile areas. Notable Quotes: "Monsoons are a reminder that the best days in the desert are full of passionate intensity, while the worst lack all convection." "For every thousand people celebrating a monsoon, one person gets really badly damaged, sometimes through no fault of their own." "When the monsoon comes, it's hard not to celebrate." "Water is like currency in the desert. It's scarce, and therefore, it's valuable." "Desert varnish and playa, even the visual symbol of how deserts are dry, got there because there used to be water there."

A visit from my cousin Gayle. We enjoyed a great pool day on Sunday and dinner in our town Monday night followed by a walk along the harbor. Gayle chose Mom's Trickle shawl as the item she wanted of hers. I took a photo of her and Google photos turned it into a pop-out. Trickle Shawl- Ravelry | LoveCrafts I gifted Gayle the pair of Stranger Things 2 socks from DVD as an early birthday gift and she sent me a cute photo of her wearing them the next morning. Great customer service from an Etsy maker to order pins. I had fun putting together photos Millie, Teaghan and Rhiannon asked me to take a couple weekends ago at the pool of them jumping off the diving board and making their bodies into the shape of the letters of the alphabet. Fun memories!   Quote of the Week “It's not hotels and nightclubs I crave, or even spectacular beaches -- it's isolation and solitude, time away from the human world and a chance to measure life on a different kind of yardstick.” ― Peter S.

This week's pick is the 1974 action style movie Golden Needles. A priceless ancient Chinese statue and the youth-restoring acupuncture needles contained in it is pursued halfway across the world. They promises the owner health and incredible vigor, but can also deliver a painful death. Featuring a good amount of uncomfortable Burgess Meredith nudity talk.

The latest episode of the Rising Tide Ocean Podcast features an excerpt from a recent conversation between David Helvarg and Chris Clarke of the desert podcast 90 Miles from Needles. Clarke discusses Helvarg's first book, The War Against the Greens (1994), which was highly influential in exposing a violent environmental backlash funded by western industries such as hard-rock mining, beef, and timber. Helvarg draws parallels between that earlier backlash and today's top-down right-wing attacks on environmental laws and agencies under President Trump. He explores how violent rhetoric and climate denial merged within a Republican Party that once championed both environmental protection and democracy. He also explains how the oil and gas industry applied lessons from the past to obstruct the growth of clean energy, and reflects on what he now believes is most effective in the fight to protect the planet's blue world—and humanity itself. ** Links & Resources ** 90 Miles From Needles Podcast https://www.90milesfromneedles.com/ Blue Frontier: bluefront.org Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.

Episode Summary: In this chapter of the landmark 100th episode of the "90 Miles from Needles" podcast, journalist David Morales, known for his insightful "Three Sonorans" newsletter, joins the discussion to unravel the complexities behind this development and how a community united to challenge a potentially devastating project. The episode highlights how Project Blue, backed by Amazon Web Services, planned to establish a massive data center in Tucson, Arizona. This project raised alarm due to its anticipated consumption of scarce desert resources, including water and energy. Community activists scrutinized the implications of this center, revealing its environmental impact and the economic motivations linked to enticing tax exemptions. Morales passionately articulates the broader significance of this victory and how it exemplifies a stand against exploitative initiatives pushing the limits of desert environments. The episode educates listeners on the historical connections of resource extraction in Arizona, the racial aspects of environmental degradation, and the importance of thoughtful modern policies that respect both indigenous heritage and future sustainability. With phrases like "manifest destiny" still ringing true in new forms today, this episode serves as an inspiring example of local advocacy effecting meaningful change. Key Takeaways: Project Blue's proposed data center in Tucson faced significant opposition due to excessive water and energy demands in a desert region. The initiative exemplifies environmental racism and reflects historical patterns of extraction and exploitation in Arizona. Community activism was pivotal in stopping the project, showing the power of collective action in confronting large corporations like Amazon. Kevin Dahl, a Tucson City Council member, took a hard oppositional stance that contributed to the council's unanimous decision to halt the project. The "Three Sonorans" newsletter provides valuable insights into indigenous and progressive perspectives on environmental issues in Tucson. Notable Quotes: "Now's your chance today. Stopping Project Blue is your way of stopping manifest destiny today.""It's all connected because you have energy, you have coal, you have water.""You have to know the history. You have to know all of it together.""They were trying to build this out here because our last governor passed this bill in 2013 to give huge tax incentives to data centers."

What if beauty didn't come in a bottle—or from a needle? In this episode, I'm joined by Cathy Goldstein, the founder of TruEnergy Skincare, who shares how she's using frequency-infused, bio-adaptive technology to help women age naturally, gracefully, and powerfully. After a near-death experience with Crohn's disease, Cathy dedicated 40+ years to acupuncture, energy medicine, and holistic esthetics. Now she's challenging everything we think we know about aging and beauty. We talk about energy alignment, fascia health, and how natural tools can deliver facelift-level results—without toxins, pain, or downtime. If you're interested in biohacking, beauty, or building a wellness brand with purpose, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways Cathy's journey from Crohn's patient to skincare innovator How emotional expression and fascia health affect aging What bio-adaptive skincare is and how it works The science behind frequency-infused skincare Why needles and toxins aren't the only path to anti-aging How energy flow and facial tension impact your appearance Bridging beauty with brain health and emotional wellness The challenge of innovating in a skeptical beauty market Running a purpose-driven product business as a practitioner Why redefining beauty starts with redefining energy Connect with Cathy Goldstein Website: truenergyskincare.com Instagram & Facebook: @truenergyskincare LinkedIn: Cathy Goldstein If you've ever questioned what “anti-aging” really means—or you're ready to reclaim beauty as energy, vitality, and truth—this episode will shift how you see your face and your future.

After causing a ruckus in Yosemite Valley and Index, Todd Skinner didn't slink away. He looked up. Way up. At El Capitan. He and Paul Piana had been dramatically influenced by an article written by Mark Hudon called Long, Hard and Free, and the dusty disappointment of the Valley Demi-Gods wasn't going to hold them back.  Using tactics borrowed from the future, Skinner and Piana got to work on their big objective, free climbing the Salathé Wall. Many great climbers had made free attempts. Each contributed to the mystique. Several claimed it would never go free. The two cowboys from Wyoming didn't believe that - they had been collecting skills that made them uniquely suited for this route. The flaring cracks of Vedauwoo. The runouts of The Needles. The pin scars of City Park and The Renegade. The dynamic climbing of Hueco Tanks. It would be, all at once, a notice of change and a love letter to the past. They weren't going to take no for an answer, even if it killed them. It nearly did.

Episode Summary: In this landmark 99th episode of the "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," Chris Clarke sets the stage for the upcoming 100th episode celebration, inviting listeners to join a special recording featuring prominent writers and activists. The episode examines the impact of a massive budget cut to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, exploring how this decision threatens the viability of many local public media outlets, particularly in rural and tribal areas. Chris discusses the slashing of $548 million in funding from the CPB by the Trump administration, grounding the issue in a broader context of how public media serves as a lifeline for communities during emergencies and supports local culture and education. As cuts disproportionately affect stations serving communities of color and Native American tribes, public radio faces an existential threat, underscoring the podcast's commitment to amplifying voices and stories in endangered desert regions. Key Takeaways: The "90 Miles from Needles" podcast has reached its 99th episode, with plans for an interactive 100th episode featuring special guests and a live public reading. The Trump administration has enacted devastating cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, eliminating $548 million in grants that support local radio and television stations. Rural and tribal radio stations, such as those in Arizona and New Mexico, face significant funding challenges, potentially losing up to 96% of their budgets. A call to action is issued to support public media and the podcast, highlighting the critical role of listener contributions in sustaining independent journalism and storytelling. Notable Quotes: "The difference between having cuts take away 20 to 96% of your budget and having them take away 4% is public support." — Chris Clarke "We have just under 200 people who have supported 90 miles from Needles financially through the last three and a half years." — Chris Clarke "Republican cuts to local public radio and TV stations are reckless, dangerous and put New Mexicans directly in harm's way." — Quoting Senator Martin Heinrich Resources: Adopt A Station: https://adoptastation.org 90 Miles from Needles - Official Website: https://90milesfromneedles.com Support Portal: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donate Project Blue Updates: https://www.instagram.com/no_desert_data_center/?hl=en 100th Episode Zoom link: https://90milesfromneedles.com/100 Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura brought socks to her client David when she got back to NY. He sent me a photo asking if they were Cashmere because they were so soft and noting how great they looked with the pants he had on. Then I got a pic of his foot under his desk at work the next day. (Ravelry Project Page) On July 7, a man chatted with me on the Red Line about memories of his mother, sisters and daughters crocheting. Emelyn has been wanting to crochet again but is feeling rusty. On July 4th I reminded them how to single & half-double crochet. Last weekend, they started a star project so we worked with DC and how to work corners and getting used to reading a pattern.   In My Travels Splash Pad Party Registration is open View Stats and/or Verify Registration here.
