I read this yesterday and wanted to make sure to have time to come back and write a comment worthy of it. My boyfriend's dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's a few years back, and we can't help but wonder if it is the result of being exposed to so many toxic things after working with machinery for so many years. Especially since he was born in Poland not long after the second World War. My own grandmother had lung issues after working around asbestos, though we were blessed to have her for quite a long time. It's hard not to get overwhelmed in thinking about what we are all still exposed to each day through the food we eat and toiletries we use, even just the air that we breath.

Despite all that, though, you are a shining example of positivity and just how important that is!! I know if I see your name pop up on my feed it is going to be a joy to read. I have a hard time keeping up with everything on here, yet I see you dropping gems of light all over the blockchain even when I know you might not be feeling your best! That's one of the beauties of challenges like this--we can all face our own blocks, but together and with the support of an understanding community. Thank you for continuing to inspire me to share my own light and love as I go through my own journey of life. 💚
