National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) occurs every fall on October 15 in an effort to promote information about and access to HIV testing and treatment focused on the Hispanic and Latinx communities, who are disproportionately impacted by HIV.
The date is important every year, of course. But in 2021, it’s particularly crucial. This June marked 40 years since the first reports of the condition that later became known as HIV.

I spend a lot of time dreaming about things — incredible adventures I want to go on, self-improvement projects, all those books I plan on reading!
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Dreaming is wonderful.
What I’ve noticed, though, is that sometimes I get stuck in the thinking and dreaming mode, and don’t actually take action.
I dream about going on these epic hikes through the mountains … I research it, learn about it, plan out my gear and food and routes … but I’m stuck inside, doing all of this research and planning. I’m not actually outside, experiencing the hikes.
When I realize this, it’s good for me to make this distinction: am I in the mode of thinking about it, or actually doing it? Both are fine! But at some point, it helps to make the switch: from thinking about it … to Doing.

When we talk about “cheese pairings,” we generally mean cheese paired with wine. This makes sense — there’s nothing like the magic of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne with a fluffy triple creme or a ruby-hued granacha with a giant hunk of manchego. But attempting to pair wine and cheese can make even a knowledgeable food lover’s palms sweat. Everyone thinks they have to be an expert, which saps away the fun of pairing!
That’s why I love nonwine cheese pairings. When something hasn’t been done before, that just means there’s no way to do it wrong. It’s all about experimentation and the fun of discovering your preferences (which, psst, is what all cheese pairing should be about!). And, who says you have to pair cheese with wine, anyway?

Osteoporosis is more prevalent in older women than in older men, for reasons related to estrogen deficiency, but the detailed mechanisms remain less clear than clinicians would like them to be. Many aspects of aging are correlated with one another. Aging is a burden of damage and consequences of that damage, progressing at modestly different paces in different individuals, largely due to variations in lifestyle choices and environmental exposure to persistent pathogens. Genetics plays some role, but probably only a small role in near all people. Thus more damage gives rise to a greater risk of …

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can choose not to be reduced by them.” ~Maya Angelou
I know what you’re feeling because I’ve been there. You’re sitting quietly with your pain asking yourself if the abuse really happened or if you just fabricated it in your mind like they said you did.
You’re wondering if you’re too sensitive. If you really did hurt them as much as they claim you did. There’s a small part of you that wonders if you actually deserved to be treated poorly because of what you said or did or because of who you are.
Deep down you know it was abuse, and even now as you break free, a part of you knows what happened to you was wrong, that it wasn’t your fault.
