R
ecently, I began to feel like I was living in a bubble. My hearing has become impaired due to a sinus/ear infection and there are certain sounds I can’t hear at all, such as the blinker in my car or voices through a microphone. It’s either silence or a cacophony of indistinguishable sounds. Except for the ringing which is loud and constant.
As is so often the case, a person learns to give thanks and show appreciation when something disappears. I’m confident my hearing will come back and life will return to normal. In the meantime, it helps to appreciate the humor and goodwill of friends and family as I keep pantomiming that I can’t hear and miss parts, big and small, of conver- sations. Can you repeat that, please? Life outside my bubble continues! Already we have cooler weather, the changing
of the leaves and getting ready for hibernation during the upcoming winter months. At our house this preparation includes retrieving heavy blankets and soft, padded winter gear from the closets and attic, and cooking lots of bone-warming soups and stews. This fall, Natural Awakenings celebrates a variety of health fairs and expos around
the Twin Cities. As of this writing there are four health fairs we’ll be attending. It’s likely there are more going on, but these are what we know about. If you know of others, please share them with me. All of these events offer free samples, networking with attendees and owners,
giveaways and lots of information. If you’re looking to learn more about healthy, vibrant living, I encourage you to visit these local health fairs.
