This week, we are questioning authority. Informed decisions are becoming a challenge. Confusion is growing as information becomes abundant.

We are the authority of our own mind. Our choices are made by the minute. We authorize our own daily routines. It's on us what we purchase and use. We spend our own time and money. We decide what goes into our body. This is the balancing act of our life. Who is your leading authority? Naturally,

 On my morning walk down to the beach recently, I noticed a startling new trend in this quiet, remote, tiny fishing village – used surgical masks discarded into the river, ready to be swept into the sea with the next rain.
