loved seeing this real life fearless mom on top of her van packing, a Warrior like Ronal in the new Avatar movie, healing, nurturing, protecting her clan.
Wish more cultures around the world celebrated self actualization for both women and men equally. #womanlifefreedom♥️🇮🇷✊🏻
If you have 3 hrs, take your whole family, see Avatar, a make believe society of equal warriors.
My favorite is the pregnant Ronal. It has been said that pregnancy is the equivalence of winning a super bowl or a tour the France, given the demands on the body, and woman carry it off in war zones, in the slums, the ghettos, working 2-3 jobs sometimes, carrying jugs of water, walking for miles.
The human body is miraculous, the human spirit even more amazing.
I now have a new way of communicating my dislikes with my family, I just Hsss, like Ronal, it’s empowering, you should try it, they do look at me like im mad, but they get the message.

Life is a “Rollercoaster”
Burna Boy- Nigerian hip hop Afrobeat artist, rose to fame over the pandemic, mom manages him, sells out Madison square garden in NYC, lives a large life, smokes, drinks like royalty.
His rollercoaster, science, and my hand songs with ed Sheeran, are captivating, medicine for the soul.
But cant enjoy it, in fact Makes me so Angry, when Iranian songwriters, Rappers, are dying for their lyrics, and the world waits for the IRI dictators to fall off the face of this earth.
Basic human needs, food, shelter, safety, education, freedom, equality, hope, future, self expression, Art and Music 🎶 is all the #iranianrapper sing about and die to get.

To move, walk, run, hike, dance, feels like a luxury in a crammed, busy life.
We evolved to move >10,000 steps a day. But most of us are lucky to get a fraction of that. After an exhausting day, lounging is sweet, but getting chronic diseases that unleash themselves from your dormant genes🧬 are the opposite of anything sweet.
Our Genes are the gun.
Environmental, and lifestyle factors influence those genes and pull the trigger.
Science of epigenetics, studies how Lifestyle factors, like nutrition, behavior, stress, physical activity, working habits, smoking and alcohol consumption, changes our genes, that we pass on to our kids, and generations to come.
Experts claim up to 30% of diseases are unpreventable.
The good news is 70% of the time, with a lot of luck, planning, and self-love, you can Boss the epigenetic factors in your favor, and direct your bodies operating system to its’ default mode of healing❤️🩹
So go on….get moving, you know what you need….do it today, your kids, grandkids, and great grandkids are counting on you.

Watch “swimmers” on netflix. Uplifting True Story about 2 Syrian refugee sisters, who sought asylum in Germany, via a boat through Mediterranean sea, along with millions who escaped the Syrian War.

She Endured separation from family, but fought to survive and thrive. Another inspiring immigrant story!!
This holiday season, Enjoy your Common Life, spread cheer, and share the blessings you have.

So much respect🙌🇦🇷
His only world cup win, near retirement, at the ripe old age of 35!! His calm sense of
self-control was incredible to watch.
Lets promise ourselves to Commit to self-improvement. Wasted human potential is a loss, yet fierce determination is a slippery slope, especially when the cost is mental health, and self worth.
Life is short and messy, but we all can aspire to be a Giant like Messi 🇦🇷
Never give up✌️
