25.01.2022 That’s a wrap!! 7 days with these amazing people who now have the tools to Inspire the World to be a Better Place!! Yeowww!!

23.01.2022 One kind word can change someone’s entire day. Words are powerful. ~xoxo Michelle & Barb

21.01.2022 Anxiety is worrying about all the things that could go wrong Depression is worrying about all the things that did go wrong Worry is not being able to be... present and in the moment Joy is knowing all the things that did happen were for a reason Happiness is holding the belief that things will work out for the best. Love is knowing the ability to be totally present and believe that right now is perfect, including you. How to have Joy - look at all the bad things in your life and how they’ve made you, you. The good, the bad, the ugly and the great. When you see each of those moments as stepping stones rather than rocks you have to carry, you will find Joy. How to have Happiness - know that you have control over your future. We like to feel like we don’t, for some people there is an element of security in knowing we’re stuck, like being locked in a cage. The cage keeps us safe, but we wouldn’t like it - you chose... stay stuck and safe or step out. How to have Love - Love starts with self love. Being able to love yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. When we put the need for love into the hands of others, we risk having no love. Sometimes I just close my eyes and be in the moment, totally grateful that I have the chance to consciously experience life, right here, right now. I feel the air come into my lungs, my heart beat, I let any thoughts just wash away like they are in a cool stream on a warm summers day and just be. It takes practice to have Joy, Happiness and Love. They are not a goal, they are not something you aspire to have, they are emotional states you can experience now. If you want to get better at having them, you need to do them more often. You’ll get better with time, and if you think you’re too busy to take some time out and focus on what you want, remember - You can buy money with time but not time with money, spend yours wisely.

06.01.2022 774 people died from the SARS epidemic 11,000 people died from the Ebola virus that was going to wipe out the world. Bird flu was the next outbreak and 300 ...people died from that. H1N1 was contracted by between 11-21% of the total human population (that’s bird flu, swine flue, human flu and another strain of swine flue combined which made one disease) and caused an estimated 151,000-579,000 deaths since it started in 2009. That’s sad and modern advancements in medicine help contain this but the scare campaigns by the media astound me. I once told a media outlet about a good news story only to be told good news doesn’t sell and that they wouldn’t run it. What the media don’t report... In 2019, an estimated 1.5 million people took their lives worldwide (almost 3 times the people die than all the recent outbreaks... mode people in one year than all the years of apparent world ending virus) 147,000 civilians have died in Afghanistan due to the war, in Iraq that number is 6-10 million civilians (although actual number may never be known as record keeping isn’t the best and a lot of what records did exist has been destroyed) 115,000 civilians have died in Syria. The human flu causes between 290,000-650,000 deaths per year. That’s without cancer numbers (9.6 million last year) and heart disease (15.2 million) Malaria (1 million) diabetes (1.6 million). Yet what’s most shocking is the world Heath organisation recognises stress as the biggest health problem globally and the American medical journal has stress as a proxy killer in 60% of all deaths... yes, you read right... 60%! Acute Stress, (fight or flight) is something our body is supposed to use very quickly to get away from danger or fight a threat. Once the threat it gone, the body returns to rest and digest. There are a bunch of changes that happen when you’re stressed, cortisol levels go up, digestion slows, adrenaline is released, heart rate increases and blood flow to the limbs increases while blood flow to the neocortex reduces (the neocortex is the part of the brain where you think logically, hence why when people are in the acute stress response they have brain fog, can’t think straight and act irrationally which in most cases, causes more stress later when we calm down and the neocortex functions, we relive the outburst over and over) Stress causes hormonal changes, for one cortisol. Prolonged high cortisol levels harden the arteries around the heart... given heart disease is the number 1 killer, it leaves us asking the question why the news and our lives are littered with stressful things... it causes a host of other hormones to be released which wreak havoc on our mental and physical health when we experience long terms stress. If you want to give the gift of life to you and your family... Turn off the news Spend time loving each other Play board games Be silly Have fun Enjoy the feeling of fresh air in your lungs Learn how to control your mind and it’s response to stress. Hug the ones you love, get rid of the negative people in your life, tell the positive ones you appreciate them and just relax... we get one life, why spend it worrying which is only going to shorten your time on earth anyway.

05.01.2022 This is our WA COVID-19 update for Tuesday 7 April 2020. Our regular public updates include up-to-date information, current advice and tips on how to better pro...tect yourself. It is important people are well informed on the virus, so as new information or advice becomes available we will share it. ---- - Current cases - With around 500 additional tests completed since yesterday's update, there have been 10 additional WA cases of COVID-19 detected. That brings WA's total confirmed cases to 470. Seven of today's cases are related to cruise ships (the Costa Luminosa and the Costa Victoria), or overseas travel and one is a close contact of a confirmed case. Two cases are still being investigated. Of these confirmed cases nine are from metropolitan Perth and one is from the Kimberley. As with all new confirmed cases, contact tracing is underway and all cases are self-isolating. The Department of Health has also confirmed two more COVID-19 related deaths in Western Australia. A man in his 70s, who was a passenger from the cruise ship Artania, has died at Joondalup Health Campus and a Western Australian woman in her 70s, who had returned from overseas travel, has died in Royal Perth Hospital. WA now has over 170 recovered cases. To date, 18,731 Western Australians have tested negative for COVID-19. Of these 3,787 are from regional WA. ---- - Testing The testing criteria for COVID-19 has been expanded significantly at all COVID-19 clinics. General Public Testing: Any person presenting with BOTH a fever (38C) AND an acute respiratory infection (e.g. shortness of breath, cough, sore throat) will be tested. High-Risk Settings: Anyone working within a high-risk setting that presents with EITHER a fever (38C) OR an acute respiratory infection will be tested. This includes healthcare workers (including aged care and disability workers) and Western Australian Police Officers. This also applies to anyone in the Kimberley. Testing will also be arranged for anyone from the following high-risk settings where two or more people are experiencing EITHER a fever (38C) OR an acute respiratory infection: - aged and residential care; - rural and remote Aboriginal communities; - detention centres; - correctional facilities; - boarding schools; - military barracks or equivalent; - geographically localised areas with increased risk of community transmission; and - cruise ship passengers or returned travellers (international and domestic). These changes follow the advice given by the WA Chief Health Officer will help find new individual cases and if there is community transmission of COVID-19. ---- - COVID clinics - An additional, dedicated COVID clinic will open at Broome Hospital on Wednesday. The clinic will operate from 8.30am-4pm, seven days a week and will be staffed by clinicians and administrative teams following strict infection control measures. Anybody with either a fever of or above 38 degrees OR an acute respiratory infection should present for testing as soon as possible. In other Kimberley communities, those requiring testing are able to attend any WA Country Health Service hospital or health service or clinics operated by Aboriginal Medical Services or the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Seven COVID clinics are now operational in the Perth metropolitan region - all metropolitan area COVID clinics are operational between the hours of 8am-8pm, 7 days a week. The clinics now open are based: Royal Perth Hospital (Ground Floor, Ainslie House, 48 Murray Street) Fiona Stanley Hospital (Allied Health 2, Gymnasiums, East End, Bedbrook Row) Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (C Block, Hospital Avenue) Armadale Health Service (Ground Floor, 3056 Albany Highway, Mount Nasura) Rockingham General Hospital (Elanora Drive, Cooloongup) Midland COVID Clinic: Front of St John of God Midland Hospital (access only via Yelverton Drive) Joondalup COVID Clinic: Ground floor Joondalup Hospital (Car park P4, Regents Park Road - Enter via outside walkway between Specialist Medical West and Physiotherapy Department) Additionally, a COVID-19 clinic is operating in Bunbury and is open from 10am - 4pm every day. It is based at the Bunbury Health Campus (Corner Bussell Highway And Robertson Drive). In other regional areas, people should go to a public hospital, health service or remote health clinic. Please call ahead if you are concerned that you have contracted COVID-19. Patients at COVID-19 clinics are required to bring proof of recent travel or identify the confirmed case they have been in contact with. Patients will be screened and where appropriate tested, provided with appropriate information and referred for further medical treatment if necessary. If people do not meet the criteria they will not be tested. Those individuals who are tested and well enough, will be asked to self-isolate while they await test results. Anyone who is confirmed to have COVID-19, who does not require hospitalisation will be required to stay in self-isolation as instructed by the public health team. It is also extremely important that people who are unwell and are concerned they have COVID-19 should immediately self-isolate and then seek further medical advice. ---- - Closure of the WA border - Western Australia's borders are now closed to travel from interstate. An exempt traveller, who will be allowed into our State, must perform one of the following functions: - Health services - Emergency services - Transport, freight and logistics - Specialists skills, not available in WA, for industry or business continuity; - National or State security and governance; and - Courts and judicial services; There are also exemptions for FIFO workers and their families, however strict 14-day quarantine measures will need to be followed, when they first enter the State. Further exemptions will also apply on compassionate grounds. In addition, Western Australians who are already in quarantine for 14 days in the eastern states, will be allowed back to WA if they show no symptoms of COVID-19. They will need to return to WA within 24 hours of completing their period of quarantine, and then immediately self-quarantine for a further 14 days at their home. More information and a list of exemptions can be found at www.wa.gov.au/covid19 Additional, stricter directions apply to those coming to WA via the Kimberley, to protect people living in remote Aboriginal communities. Western Australians who are aware of someone breaching a requirement to self-isolate - please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or WA Police on 131 444. ---- - Restrictions on travel within Western Australia Restrictions over travel between regions within Western Australia are now in effect. All non-essential travel within Western Australia must now stop. Unless you fit an exempt category, you will now not be able to leave whatever region of Western Australia you live in. To be clear, those regions are: the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid-West, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, Great Southern and South West. Due to their proximity and interconnected nature, Perth and Peel will be treated as one region. The exempt categories include: travel for work purposes; to attend medical appointments; to transport freight; those who do not have access to groceries or supplies within their region; returning to a place of residence; where necessary to attend school or an educational institution; caring for family members; and approved compassionate grounds. Western Australians that are currently outside of their region and are able to return, should do so immediately. The construction and freight industries, in particular, will continue to operate despite these new measures. Check points and mobile police patrols will be in place to monitor travel across boundaries and ensure people are doing the right thing. If your need to travel fits one of the exempt categories, please assist police by preparing documentation, such as a letter/email/SMS from an employer, to support your legitimate travel. ---- - Additional restrictions on travel for the Kimberley - New measures have been announced to stop the spread of COVID-19 to the Kimberley region. Travel restrictions are already in place in the Kimberley region, but due to the seriousness of the situation, additional stronger measures are needed to stop the movement of people between towns or local government areas. New boundaries, in line with the four local government areas (Shire of Broome, Derby West Kimberley, Wyndham East Kimberley, Halls creek) within the Kimberley region are now in place. People must stay in their local government area. The existing exemptions apply, such as provision of essential services or supplies, medical reasons or residents returning to their home. Residents who need to cross a regional boundary to return to their home, must self-isolate for 14 days. Kimberley residents are urged to stay home and cease all non-essential travel and activity. Indoor or outdoor activities of more than two people should be avoided, unless exempted. Anyone displaying symptoms should contact their local health facility immediately. ---- - Additional restrictions on travel for the Goldfields-Esperance- A new restriction on intrastate travel applies for Esperance. Unless for essential purposes, no visits to Esperance will be permitted. This is designed to stop the holiday flood, particularly from Kalgoorlie, over the Easter period and beyond, and has been implemented in conjunction with the local council. ---- We are preparing and taking every precaution to protect Western Australia from COVID-19. The Western Australian health system and our hospitals are very well prepared to manage infectious disease situations and have well established systems and processes in place. The WA Government’s Pandemic Plan has been updated to respond to COVID-19, and is publicly available. You can see the plan for yourself at https://www.wa.gov.au/covid19 under WA Government Response. The State Government is taking this very seriously and we need to be prepared for a pandemic. Every action we take and decision we make is to protect Western Australians. We have already taken action with a suite of measures to prepare the State for the possibility of a pandemic. It is important that we all continue to remain calm and use common sense. The best thing we can do to protect ourselves is quality personal hygiene and exercise social distancing by avoiding unnecessary personal contact. That includes covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often with soap or sanitiser, staying home from work or school if unwell, avoiding shaking hands or hugging, and maintaining distance from others in public. Please also continue to follow the advice of authorities and doctors - anyone who is instructed to self-isolate must take the order seriously, stay home and not put others at risk. This means you don’t leave your property, you don’t go to work or school, you don’t go on outings and you don’t have visitors - only leave the house to seek medical attention. ---- Official information regarding COVID-19 in Western Australia - www.wa.gov.au/covid19 WA Department of Health information www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/coronavirus Coronavirus information hotline 1800 020 080 Smartraveller information regarding travel advice for Australians - www.smartraveller.gov.au
