"I was watching the video of this officer who saved this baby life who was 3 months at the time, he was off duty headed home until he seen this white car flagged him, he stopped and this black lady jumped out her car holding her lifeless baby boy the officer immediately jumped outta his car took the baby outta her hands did CPR on the baby! He called for help and told the mother to jump in her car while he took the baby in his police car to a nearby hospital!! If it wasn't for this officer this baby would've never made it!! Thanks to this officer Jay Nix he saved the baby life!!

He posted a couple hours ago saying "HIS GOD SON" Is now 7 months old, and the baby spends the weekend with them and nights!! This baby was placed in his life for a reason....it's still good officers out here and it's not always about the color, this story was very touching ❤️🙏🏾❤️

The change all starts with our children. Too many of their parents are already too poisoned and so locked into emotionally unhealthy ways of thinking and behaving. Let your kids be themselves and think for themselves. They are all pure love until we teach them about fear and hate. Or how about this? Watch the words you use with and around your kids and your actions too. Kids are sponges. If you truly love them show them only the good in you.

Late last night Myles went on & on about how he had to be twins with a boy in his class for Twin Day because they look exactly the same- same eyes, same hair.
He was adamant that they were identical.
So after the kids went to bed I headed to Walmart at 9pm to get matching outfits.
Their teacher sent me this picture today.
My heart melted.
Obviously two very different children, but Myles didn’t see that.
Wouldn’t the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5yr olds♥️

Sometimes it seems like we are still in the 1950’s. The stories I hear from some of my patients are so hard to believe as far as what they are still going through on a day to day basis because of the color of their skin. Every single one of us is the same inside. Going through the same set of life challenges and experiences give or take a few. When will the ignorant rest of the population wake up to that fact and start acting that way? Make believe your mom is watching and listening. Don’t get me wrong. There are trashy people out there in our world. They come in all colors and shades. People should be looked at based on their behavior and nothing else.

in 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, AL bus to a white passenger.

"People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

My last post regarding mental health and how just a smile or small act of kindness can make such a huge difference in someone else’s life couldn’t be more true. So many people young and old are taking their own lives or dying from ”accidental” drug overdoses the last couple of years. It’s absolutely crazy. It’s usually the people we think have it all( whatever that means) that in reality are the most sad or feel the most worthless inside. The outside does not equal the inside unfortunately. It is up to each one of us to look for signs in people that we love or even in strangers and do our best to be the force that helps them get what they need to overcome the feelings they currently have and to get them back on the road to healthy self esteem and self worth levels.

A recent increase in patients coming in for treatment a few weeks after a car accident because they were hoping their aches and pains would go away sooner than later. It turned out to be a big mistake because after 14 days without being examined by a qualified doctor the PIP insurance they pay dearly for will no longer pay for the chiropractic care they desperately need. Moral of the story? Even if you feel no aches or pains following a motor vehicle accident get yourself checked by a chiropractor or other physician right away. This way if symptoms start up days later or don’t go away they will be documented and treatment will not be denied by your insurance company. I have been helping patients recover from auto accident injuries for 30 years. Call our office to see if we can help you.

I was just thinking how in order to get something to grow real big it has to start off real small at first. Kind of like rolling a snowball down a hill and how it becomes huge as it picks up more snow on the way down to the bottom of the hill. Most of the social media stuff we see today promotes stress and fear and hate for one another. What if tons of people started posting or reposting this kind of stuff that promotes love and respect and empathy and kindness and caring? Maybe it would outgrow and overpower all the bad posts we see daily? Maybe eventually it could slowly change how people think and feel about each other? Maybe it could change everything that’s bad that’s going on now to good? 🤔

Things like this are all that matter in life. Love and kindness. I do believe that there is a ton of this going on in our world but there can never be enough or too much of this. I also believe that there are forces out there like the media and the people behind the media and other people who get to control what we see and hear that are trying to keep this love and kindness from getting out and spreading. Don’t let them be successful. If all of us one day at a time behave like this kind and loving man we can change the world to a better place. One kind gesture or behavior at a time is all that it takes if done consistently. It starts with you.

”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, Carter Jean was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.

He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.

This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.

This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.

Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.

Continue to shine your light in the world.”

Last part of the trilogy. Where there is fear there is stress. Stress is everywhere and in everyone today. Some people have more stress and some people have less stress. What it all comes down to is how our bodies handle that stress. How we handle it will determine if we get sick or if we stay healthy. The secret to mitigating stress is "self care" or "self love". That looks different to different people. For some its working out at the gym or going for a walk. For others it could be taking a long bath, watching a funny movie or listening to their favorite music. For others its just being around the people they love and that love them and doing nothing at all sometimes. Find what works best for you. Chiropractic adjustments have shown over and over again to reduce stress in the body. Find out if the right type of chiropractic care can help lower your level of stress and get you back to living the life you want and deserve. Call us today and start the process.

Ok back to reality and love and fear for a moment. Fear keeps your sympathetic nervous system turned on way too long and causes sickness and disease. Love turns on your parasympathetic nervous system which promotes health and healing. Chiropractic adjustments help to turn off your sympathetic nervous system and turn on your parasympathetic nervous system. When you are ready we are here to help. 😊

I learned a long time ago that there is only "love" and "fear". Everything else has it's roots in one or the other. With current world events it is difficult to stay in "love". Health is grounded in "love" and sickness and disease are grounded in "fear".
