"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.

This week, I boldly rode my electric bike straight up the Miwok Trail, going north towards County View in the peaceful Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It’s a steep climb up a thousand feet, and I had to stop a couple times to catch my breath. But my trusty Benno Boost ebike gave me just the extra lift I needed to make it to the top of the hill.
I now go biking every day, to clear my head and stay healthy during the pandemic. We are incredibly lucky to have so many beautiful trails right in our own backyard. And I am grateful that our health crisis is nudging us all to exercise more and live more sustainably.

Whether efficient public transit, climate change, or air and water pollution, marginalized communities are regularly denied access to healthy environments. Differences in power and political voice create differential impacts of our changing environment—natural and built—on these communities, compromising access to basic necessities like clean water and breathable air. Legislation to redress these differential impacts requires policymakers to work hand in glove with the communities they represent.

Once in a while I feel rescued. For a few years I'd been gathering up symptoms that seemed unrelated, weight gain around my belly, joint pain, memory loss and foggy thinking, lumpy swollen breasts, papering skin, and fatigue. I said things to Mikey like, "I guess this is what getting older feels like." When stress amped up and these symptoms did with it, I searched for answers and found them.
I found the works of John R Lee, M.D and Jesse Hanley, M.D., authors of best selling books about hormones. According to them our environment and lifestyle causes estrogen dominance in men and women. Our water supply and the animal products we consume contain hormones they shouldn't Our stressful lifestyle suppresses our own production of progesterone that would normally balance out increased estrogen. Estrogen dominance means rapid cell growth, early aging, higher cancer risks, Lupus, osteoporosis and menopause symptoms ten to twenty years before menopause. It is why young women today are menstruating and developing breasts early and boys are developing androgynous qualities.
The rescue I discovered is information, a book titled What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life From Thirty to Fifty, and a plant based over the counter cream that within a week relieved me of joint pain, memory loss, painful swollen lumpy breasts, papery skin, greying hair, fatigue and 10 pounds of water weight It is called Pro-Gest by Emitra (be brand careful, not all progesterone creams are "bio identical" to humans and plant based (wild yams). I also learned about vitamins, minerals and dietary changes that will improve my quality of life and health.
Occasionally I learn something that I want to shout from the rooftops. This is one of those occasions. I can't count the people I know who have symptoms like this and others that I did not have and who have no idea why. You won't find these answers from traditional medicine either because pharmaceutical companies can't patent and profit from natural plant based progesterone.
Cheers to good health friends!
