Vaccines Save Lives. Period.

Despite current anti vaccine rumblings, please remember, vaccines are one of the greatest success stories in public health. They’ve helped eliminate smallpox, nearly eradicate polio, and protect us from diseases like measles, HPV, influenza, and COVID-19.



•Prevent illness and hospitalizations

•Protect vulnerable loved ones (babies, elders, immunocompromised)

•Reduce long-term complications from diseases

•Help communities thrive by preventing outbreaks

•Save time, money, and lives



Science isn’t perfect, but vaccines consistently prove their power to prevent suffering.

Let’s keep choosing facts, compassion, and health.

Happy Mother's Day

To all the incredible mothers I’ve had the honor of caring for—and to my dear friends and fellow women walking this beautiful, challenging path of motherhood:
Today is for you. For your strength, your tenderness, and your tireless love. Whether you’re expecting, holding little hands, or guiding grown hearts, you are seen, valued, and deeply celebrated.
Here's a small poem from my heart to yours:


For All You Are, Mom
You held my hand, then let it go,
So I could walk, then run, then grow.
Through every high, through every fall,
Your love, unshaken, stood through all.
You taught me grace, you taught me truth,
You gave your strength, you gave your youth.
No crown of gold, no worldly prize,
Outshines the love behind your eyes.
So here’s my heart, with thanks sincere--
For every hug, each whispered cheer.
You're more than words could ever say--
My rock, my guide. Happy Mother’s Day.


Wishing you joy, rest, and love today and always. 💗

Ovarian Cancer

On World Ovarian Cancer Day it’s an excellent opportunity to shine a light on this silent killer.  Known as the “disease that whispers,” it often goes undetected until it's advanced. That's why awareness can save lives.
What is Ovarian Cancer?Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries—part of the female reproductive system responsible for producing eggs and hormones. It’s one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers because it’s usually diagnosed late, when it's harder to treat.
How to Spot the Symptoms:Many early signs are subtle and easily mistaken for other common issues, but persistent symptoms matter. Look out for:
  • Bloating that doesn’t go away
  • Pelvic or abdominal pain
  • Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate
  • Fatigue, back pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss
If these symptoms occur more than 12 times a month, see a doctor. Early detection increases survival rates dramatically.
Why Does It Happen?The exact causes are unclear, but risk factors include:
  • Age (most common in women 50+)
  • Family history of ovarian or breast cancer
  • BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutations
  • Endometriosis or never having been pregnant
What Can You Do?
  • Know your family history and talk to your doctor about genetic testing if needed
  • Don’t ignore ongoing symptoms
  • Get regular pelvic exams
  • Support and share awareness today
Every voice helps. Share this post to help others listen to the whispers of ovarian cancer.

Today we celebrate the victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While it’s not Mexico’s Independence Day, it's an important symbol of resistance and unity – and a great day to celebrate and enjoy Mexican culture, music, and amazing food!

Measles Outbreak

My Concern - Measles Outbreak in the U.S.

As of April 25, over 880 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in 29 states — the largest U.S. outbreak in more than two decades. Texas is the hardest hit, with the majority of cases among unvaccinated individuals.
This outbreak underscores the critical role of vaccination in protecting public health, especially among children and vulnerable populations.
​
✅ MMR vaccines are safe, effective, and essential.
✅ Employers and community leaders can help by promoting science-based health decisions.
✅ Let’s work together to build trust, fight misinformation, and prioritize health equity.

I can't understand why we wouldn't all want a better world full of compassion? What is wrong with wanting to help others, wanting a healthy population, a clean environment, equality for all, a living wage, poverty eradication, fairness and justice, a working and empathetic government, a right and wrong value system?
