EARTHQUAKE & EMERGENCIES

This post is long as hell, but trust me, you won't regret reading.

Many of use never think of famine or if we have another earthquake.

We are watching natural disasters around us and we think "thank God that wasn't here", but what does happen here?

I used to conduct educational workshops. Earthquake workshops were my favorite. After surviving Northridge earthquake and my own personal house fire as a child, I have always kept certain things in my home at all times.

This is a list of ideas and items from my home to yours.

🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️PRACTICAL PRACTICES🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️

1. Walking in your home in the dark eyes closed. Learn the layout. Make sure you have flameless tea light candles hidden throughout house. It's scary, but also teach your children, especially the ones that can take over in a emergency

2. Keep those extra bags that we get tired of seeing around the house. Use them to dispose of any food that goes bad, toileting products or trash in general
3. Make sure you have charcoal or gas for grill-you might need to cook food up .
4. YOU WILL NEED to seek a village in an emergency. Go talk to your neighbors so they know your face and who you are. And if you don't do it now, make sure that you come out in an emergency to check in. You may be each other's rescue team.
5. Make a backpack for each family member. It's good to have an abundance of products for family, but make sure each family member has one backpack filled with items for 1-2 weeks

Denice makes inexpensive, homemade doggie treats and has pledged to donate $1 of every bag sold back to us. Did I mention her beautiful heart and that she is the best mama?

Super Late...

This month is a special month. This is the month that spring starts and seasonal depression starts melting away with the ice. You may feel some new energy and purpose. It is important to pace yourself in all that you do. Balance and Consistency is the key to starting Spring, starting this month and also ending our challenge.
Balance your professional and personal lives. Learn to be present in each so that they do not spill over into the other and cause imbalance.
Be consistent in Showing Up for yourself in your personal and professional lives so that you are your best self. We spend plenty of time feeling guilty for the imbalances in our lives but that’s self indulgent. Yes, self-indulgent. You are power, You have the power to change and make each of your environments healthier and more productive. Take preventative measures to avoid burnout.
I am here and hear for you. Use March as a spring board into the rest of Your year! Now Go and make me proud. I love you!
Coach Syreeta, CHO
