Tips for Flu Prevention
 A severe flu season is upon us and, when blood and platelet donors aren't feeling well, they can't give the gift of life. You can help the American Red Crossprevent a shortage of blood and platelet donations by taking these steps and spreading the word about flu prevention.- Avoid or minimize contact with people who are sick (a minimum of three feet distancing is recommended).
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands afterwards. If tissue-less, cough or sneeze into your elbow or upper arm, not into your hands.
- Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth to keep germs from entering your body.
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Get a flu shot every year. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to minimize illness and death.

We are so lucky to have Kim Shemer Kurtzman, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Pilates Instructor, comes from Annapolis to bring her unique perspective on safe posture and spinal mobility.
In this workshop, you will learn to properly align your spine in neutral and to move your spine safely during daily life activities, as well as during exercise.

Thought
Of
The Week:
A simple meditation to try this week:
Pretend there is a butterfly inside your heart. Watch it gently open its wings. Breathe deeply and slowly, imagining your breath flowing into the butterfly. Feel its wings spread with compassion and love. Now let it fly into the world with light and warmth.
