Beautiful Entity

Outdoor plants are like the trim of a house or the molding of a door a house its landscaping should all feel like one entity.

Mental Health Report

If the situation has escalated to the point where a life-safety threat exists for the person in distress or for people around them, it rises to a crisis-level intervention.

Talking to dispatchers

When calling emergency services, introduce yourself and a description of the person having a crisis, including their name, their age and their current location.  

“The more information, the better,” Wasserman said. More information allows dispatchers with 911 or 988 to ensure the most appropriate response occurs.

For example, if you consider the person a threat, explain why. Is this person walking around with a baseball bat, swinging it at people, and yelling at them? Or is this person sitting on a park bench and seems disoriented?

Depending on the information provided, dispatchers might send in law enforcement, or they may send a fire rescue team or an EMS.

While on the phone, you can mention that you believe the situation involves a mental health crisis. That can trigger more questions from the dispatchers and give more information to the responding officers.

You might also mention your goal: for them to be helped, not arrested or harmed.

Do’s and Don’ts for Decorating With Wallpaper

DO’S

1. Do use wallpaper as an accent wall.

2. Do use wallpaper in spaces where you’d like to incorporate graphics and color.

3. Do blend an inspirational wall color with wallpaper to create a cohesive look.

4. Do use wallpaper to help add height or elongate a space.

5. Do use forms of wallpaper such as grass cloth to add texture.

DON’TS

1. Don’t blend different patterns of wallpaper in the same space.

2. Don’t place big wallpaper prints in small spaces such as bathrooms.

3. Don’t overlook an opportunity to use wallpaper in creative ways, such as on a ceiling.

4. Don’t assume that wallpaper has to bring in an element of color or pattern. Wallpaper can add a sense of calm and neutrality to spaces, as well.

5. Don’t be afraid to go bold by using wallpaper to make an inspirational statement or create a focal point.

In Yoga, we bend so that can grow

Speed isn’t the goal. This isn’t the kind of practice to power through, earphones pumping, counting down the minutes until you’re done. The point is to the bend. It’s that moment of uncertainty wrapped in discomfort. A challenge. A chance. To push even just a little bit more than yesterday -into a new openness waiting for you. When you get into your body in this way, balanced by the measure of your breath and grip of your toes, there is no other place to be but here. That’s the goal and the gift in one.

The Purchase

Tell us about a recent purchase that felt like an investment.I never saw my immigrant parents invest in expensive items. They were worried about giving us a better life. After carrying my cash and cards in a passport holder for years, I decided to move past my first-generation guilt and reward my hard work with something I’d use every day. After much research, I landed on this wallet.How much did you spend on it? $529.65, including tax.Why do you consider it a worthy investment?A wallet is used nearly every day and will always come with me outside the house. It represents my hard work, and I know it will last me a long time and stay a classic.
