NATIONAL PREGNANCY AND INFANT LOSS REMEMBRANCE DAY
National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on October 15th provides a day to honor and remember the lives of babies lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and other causes. Today, we are offering a compassionate space for parents, families, and friends to share their grief, find community, and break the silence surrounding their loss.

The journey of pregnancy and infant loss is experienced by many, yet it is often endured in silence. With studies showing that as many as 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss, the grief is widespread but frequently unspoken. The experience is painful, and the emotions can be overwhelming.
National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day serves to acknowledge these precious lives, no matter how brief, and validate the profound grief felt by bereaved families. It is a day for community, for shared stories, and for the quiet understanding that comes from knowing you are not alone. By creating a day of collective remembrance, we help lift the stigma and isolation that many parents feel, allowing for a path toward healing.

*******Join the International Wave of Light*******
One of the most profound traditions on this day is the International Wave of Light. At 7:00 PM in every time zone, families around the world light a candle for one hour to remember all the babies who have died. This continuous wave of light crossing the globe symbolizes a unified vigil of remembrance and support.

Have a wonderful day!

For me right now it is weights. It is really all I can do without a lot of pain besides walking short distances.

NATIONAL STOP BULLYING DAY
National Stop Bullying Day on the second Wednesday in October brings together students, faculty, and parents to end bullying. This annual awareness day promotes standing up against and put an end to bullying.

No child should be afraid to ride a bus or go to school because a classmate threatens them. Children who have been bullied should also feel they can report the incident without repercussions. However, many times it goes unreported because of fear and embarrassment. We need to normalize what bullying is and how we can help prevent it from happening.
4 Types of Bullying
1 Bullying comes in many forms. It occurs repeatedly and is a way for the perpetrator to show their power. Whether the bullying is verbal, physical, relational, or cyberbullying, the results are detrimental.
2 Verbal bullying involves spoken words. The person may threaten or call names. They may use disrespectful language toward family, friends, or specifically aimed at their target.
Physical bullying is aggression in the form of hitting, kicking, pushing, or any unwanted touch.
3 Relational bullying involves purposely excluding someone from activities, groups, or events through social tactics.
4 Cyberbullying includes using social media, texts, and the internet to spread rumors, lies, or mean messages about a person.
Be aware of the warning signs that a child may be experiencing bullying, such as withdrawal from activities, unexplained injuries, declining grades, or sudden loss of friends. Reputable sources like StopBullying.gov and PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center are excellent resources.
Encourage students to participate in activities outside the home, too. Teach children the appropriate use of the internet, social media, and text. While having daily discussions with family members about their day, share information on setting boundaries. Teach them the behavior you expect them to display, how to treat others, and provide a role model of the same.
Seeing bullying and doing nothing empowers the bully. An upstander takes safe, positive action. Don't join in: Refuse to laugh or provide an audience. Stand with the person being bullied by helping them walk away, or simply ask, "Are you okay?" This small act can make a huge difference. Alert a trusted adult like a teacher, principal, coach, or parent. Reassure those who have been bullied that their voice matters and support them in the reporting process. Help them build confidence outside of that negative situation.
The U.S. Department of Human Services set up a hotline that's available 24/7 to receive assistance stopping bullying. Call 1-800-273-8255.
In the U.S., the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255. Also, in the U.S., the Su***de National Hopeline is 1-800-784-2433. Spanish is 1-888-628-9454.

Happy Wednesday! It is the middle of the week, almost done!

All that
how we show up matters
the story behind ALL THAT
Buckle up - it’s a doozy! It really all starts with our kids. We have three children; our two daughters were born with an incredibly rare genetic disease called CDG (congenital disorder of glycosylation), which causes them to have severe medical complexities. This wasn’t something we ever could have anticipated or planned for, but it led us on a journey of resilience, love, and a commitment to prioritize our health so we could always show up for our girls. Since it’s unlikely they’ll ever walk on their own, we’ve embraced that they’d always be fully dependent on us for their mobility.
As our girls have grown, we’ve quickly realized that because of their disabilities, neglecting our own health isn’t an option. Picking them up, transferring them, lifting their equipment, carrying them up stairs etc. is not for the faint of heart or weak of body. We have to be strong and healthy—‘cuz our babies are counting on us.
Look at you
you’re doing all that
And, in case you weren't aware, it’s kind of amazing! We know the challenges of being a busy family and juggling all the things. Showing up for the people you love is only possible if you show up for yourself. We want to help take care of the person who takes care of everyone else—and that’s YOU!
Hours in the gym, tedious meal prepping… who's got time for that? Prioritizing your health should be accessible and balanced, and we reject the notion that achieving your health goals requires sacrificing the things you love. Enter ALL THAT protein powder—a powerhouse supplement that fuels your body, gives you strength to do all the things, and tastes so good you’ll actually crave it.
As you effortlessly reach your protein intake goals because you actually enjoy your protein drink, you’ll have more energy physically and mentally to do All That. Boom baby.
Our life’s greatest curveball has ended up being our greatest blessing, and a poignant wake up call to prioritize what’s most important.

This or that? For me it depends but I like wearing nice tees. Actually have one of my casual tees on right now though!

METASTATIC BREAST CANCER AWARENESS DAY
On October 13, National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day focuses on the estimated 271,270 Americans diagnosed with this destructive form of cancer. Join us as we show our support for everyone impacted by metastatic breast cancer.

Metastatic cancer is a stage IV cancer invading all areas of the body. It affects the liver, lungs, brain, lymph nodes, and more. Both men and women are diagnosed each year. Additionally, there are different types of metastatic breast cancer. Sadly metastatic breast cancer is a devastating diagnosis to receive. While many breast cancers can be cured, metastatic breast cancer cannot.

Each year, treatments for all kinds of breast cancer are improving and advancing. Whether a patient chooses a trial or a more standard approach to treatment, a clinical team will provide options. Either way, a support system of family and friends helps to manage the stress and adjustments that come with the diagnosis.
October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While the entire month focuses on preventative measures such as mammography, it is important to know research continues for a cure for metastatic breast cancer. Those with metastatic breast cancer require treatment options and an understanding support system.
The day also gives a voice to those who live with metastatic breast cancer. It encourages the world to learn more about the disease, how it progresses, affects the person and those around them. It raises awareness of the need for treatment options, research, and more.
