I do not share this gleefully. Earlier in the year, when it was warmer, I was encouraging people to not only buy food but also seeds and fruit trees. I can only hope that someone heard my message and took heed. ❤️😔

This is VERY concerning...

🚨 Georgia SNAP Benefits Update 🚨

Georgia confirms November SNAP benefits won’t be sent until the federal shutdown ends, raising concerns for nearly 1.4 million residents.

The news comes after the USDA instructed states to hold off on processing benefits until further notice.

Atlanta Community Food Bank CEO Kyle Waide warns: “If SNAP benefits are not funded in November, it has the potential to move this moment from a food insecurity crisis to a disaster. Food banks cannot fill the gap and replace Georgians’ SNAP benefits.”

The ACFB is sourcing extra food and coordinating with local groups, but help can only go so far. Families and federal workers facing uncertainty are urged to follow state updates and locate nearby food pantries: acfb.org/get-help or text “findfood”/“comida” to 888-976-2232.

WIC funding for approx. 240,000 Georgia moms, young children and babies is also under pressure, with DPH telling me it's working to maintain benefits as long as possible.

Cancer sucks.😭
I was a musically-inclined, sapiosexual😂, freshman in high school when "Brown Sugar" came out and I thought that man was so fine. The sultry soul of the album title song, the walking bassline of "When We Get By", the nod to his church/gospel roots on "Higher"...I appreciated all that AND his cornrows and cheekbones.😁
Even though November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, let's talk about it now.

I am NOT trying to kill this jasmine plant that a lovely patient gifted me, especially since she started it herself from cuttings.
Help me! Drop your tips in the comments.
For the pros who need to know, I am in GA Zone 8a/b, if that helps.

I am seriously geeked right now!!!
Don't y'all like my branded water bottle?!
Ain't she cute?🥰
But seriously.
I want to say "Thank You" to for laser engraving a few water bottles with my logo on them.
You will see them at various community events in the ATL metro area in the form of giveaways, as items in silent auction baskets, etc. so keep your eyes peeled to get yours!

Had a wonderful time this afternoon at the Health Fair!
I got to connect and learn about a lot of wonderful businesses in the area.

One lucky lady also won a gift basket of goodies, curated by Yours Truly, reflecting my passion for encouraging people-especially Black people-to utilize the outdoors as a means for mental, physical, and spiritual health. ❤️

"Dr. Echols! How do you do it all?!"
Hah!
I don't, one.
Two, I have a supportive husband who puts up with my save-the-world shenanigans to a degree...but will then tell me in a not-so-forthcoming way (I will feel it, but I will try to pull it out of him to confirm) when I need to go sit down somewhere. 😂
Here's to year 14. ❤️
