Weekly Round-Up
Welcome, dear readers, to the weekly round-up of blogs. This week’s reflections move between curiosity, care, and recalibration.
Terri reviews BioCircuit nerve tape, exploring why it’s generating interest in post-surgical recovery while also asking important questions about evidence and expectations. I appreciated how she holds curiosity and caution side by side, modelling a patient-centred, informed approach to emerging interventions.
Carolyn turns our attention to the colder months, explaining why low temperatures can worsen angina symptoms. Drawing on both clinical insight and lived experience, she offers a timely reminder of how seasonal changes can affect the body—and why being prepared matters.
As the holidays approach, Suzanne reflects on reaching a calmer, steadier place after a period marked by disruption and uncertainty. She describes the relief of feeling the waters finally settle. At the same time, Barbara offers a complementary perspective with a gentle reset on holiday expectations, noting how the usual December pressures have lost their grip and been replaced by a quieter sense of what truly matters.
In a persuasive essay, Beth makes a compelling case for the humanities, drawing on her years of teaching literature, philosophy, history, and the arts. She reminds us that these disciplines are not peripheral, but central to understanding the human condition.
Finally, Connie closes the week’s collection by reframing joy as something we notice and choose in small, ordinary moments. Rather than waiting for life to feel resolved or “fixed,” she writes about allowing joy to live alongside loss, fatigue, and uncertainty—an approach that feels both realistic and deeply sustaining.
Until next time,
May the week ahead bring moments of steadiness, small kindnesses, and space to notice what truly sustains you.
Much love always
