Every year around this time, I make it a point to find out what is available for Mental Health support for the BIPOC community. Bebe Moore Campbell was an advocate who understood the importance of focusing on the issues and needs of this community in order to make a way for resources. Caring is sharing, which I hope you will do with your loved ones, and by passing this information on. There is even more to gain by delving into the resources available.

Juneteenth 

1. “Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.”  â€” Barack Obama

Always “news you can use” 🙂

In a recent Wirecutter Newsletter, I read “Staring at a device that emits blue light for too long at night might cause your body to suppress melatonin production, keeping you alert for longer.”

These topics can get pretty “nerdy“, so I am just going to give you some bullet points about Blue Light.

According to the website source, blue light is everywhere. For example, Sun, Cell phones, TV’s Tablets etc.

However, using these devices in the evening before bed, is not helpful for a restful night sleep because they might suppress melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone in your body that plays a role in sleep. It increases when it is dark and decreases when it is light.
