Ciara Morin - PKD warrior, advocate, and Registered Holistic Nutritionist - recently shared a blog post about her experience meeting with a new nephrologist.

Every day, the same man comes to talk to me between sets. He greets everyone at the gym the same way and loves to critique fitness and talk about his family. Not everyone entertains him, which I find is sad. Today, he said something to me that I think more people in gym culture need to hear. He said, "I'm an 86-year-old man who struggles to make it to the gym every day, and it's youngsters like you who make me smile, making my whole day worth living." I hope that the next time you're at the gym, you'll take a moment to encourage strangers. I hope you understand that the world doesn't revolve around just you; other people struggle too. Taking the time to hear others, matters. ❤️

I have a Ukrainian boy in one of my classes who spoke no English in Sep. He’s spent all year silently being helped out by the student next to him in my lessons. Today he put his hand up for the first time to answer a question🥹🥹

This was a Christmas tonic! Just add @VancityReynolds aviation gin. Definitely the best Good Afternoon I’ve had in a while! ❤️🎄

‘May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.’ In loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen. 1926 - 2022

The Queen was an enduring part of my whole life.We shall never see her like again and I share in the mourning of so many people when I realise the truth of that. This wonderful interview describes a side we didn’t often see.

God bless Queen Elizabeth II May she rest in peace Long live The King Paul McCartney

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Well, this interview was fun to do and, I hope, fun to watch as well. A little diversion at a difficult time. youtu.be/SK5EvP4XzAE via @YouTube
