These past weeks, while my nervous system is learning from Neuro Integration System (N.I.S.) treatments and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) treatments from Dr. Jae Reed, D.C. and is continuing to learn from Chi Nei Tsang treatments from Stephanie Wilger, NC … watching / listening to these two British TV series written by Bob Larbey have given me much joy.
Bob Larbey wrote all 26 episodes of

While on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094452/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm looking up writing credits for British TV series DOUBLE FIRST 1988 (Michael Williams as N.V. Standish) . . . a trailer of the movie EDUCATING RITA appeared.
Esmonde & Bob Larbey wrote DOUBLE FIRST
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Willy Russell wrote the stage play and screenplay EDUCATING RITA
(the movie – starring Michael Caine as Dr. Frank Bryant and Julie Walters as Rita/Susan; Michael Williams as Brian).
The name “Rita” carries precious symbolism for me and my sister.
“Educating Rita” – what better inspiration for me as I am being educated on what clear communication is between Brain and Body. Neuro Integration System (N.I.S.) treatments and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Chi Nei Tsang treatments remove obstacles and let my Body repair itself the best way possible - naturally.

Dear Readers,
I wish you and everyone around you – wellness, kindness, happiness.
I celebrate these two women -
Ms. Maria Kawah Leung and Ms. Goldie Hawn
Maria Kawah Leung is the author of a delightfully illustrated children’s book about a serious subject matter – domestic violence. https://mariakawah.com/
LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET: And How They Stay Strong In An Unhappy Home
(illustrators: Maria Kawah Leung, Sandra Elyse Chavez, Maren Sleire Aasgaard)
This book is endorsed by Hannah Yeoh who is a Member of Parliament in Malaysia.
The main characters in LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET are Mia (a little girl) and her Happy Dog (who is much much more than a stuffed animal). Happy Dog is Mia’s best friend and confidant.
Maria Kawah Leung says:
“I was born in Hong Kong but my family moved to San Francisco when I was almost two years old. I have happily been a teacher of young children for over 25 years and have taught in the USA (California and Massachusetts), China and Malaysia.
“My most rewarding experiences in life were working with children in pediatric wards, studying Chinese in Beijing, China and studying Spanish in Bogota, Colombia.
“I have also traveled to about 30 countries and all the continents except Antarctica. I have always enjoyed writing. Creating this book to help children feel they are not alone has been a life-long goal.
“Empowering children to overcome obstacles is my passion. This is why I wrote the children’s book Little Heroes of Bay Street and How They Stay Strong in an Unhappy Home.”
Ms. Leung adds: “I’m hoping that through my book… that every teacher would get a copy… and school counselors… nurses… so that they can be aware, and, look out for signs, and reach out to these children.”
Maria’s book is available in English, Chinese, Spanish and Bahasa Malaysia

As I watch Ms. Goldie Hawn’s keynote speech at Teachers College, Columbia University … I think about Ms. Maria Kawah Leung as teacher, author, children’s advocate.
Teachers College – Columbia University – Academic Festival Opening Ceremony Keynote Address: Goldie Hawn on Why Mindfulness in School Matters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh5-Pwj9T8E 39 minutes
Ms. Hawn’s foundation is MindUP https://mindup.org/
“Why aren’t we teaching kids about their brain?” When the teacher says “Pay attention.”… how can children know what that means when they don’t know about their brains? “The brain has plasticity.” “What the amygdala is.” “Nobody knows what the kids are feeling. Kids and silent stress.”
Through MindUp … kids learn how to practice kindness, what being mindful is.”
Based firmly in neuroscience, MindUP teaches the skills and knowledge children need to regulate their stress and emotion, form positive relationships, and act with kindness and compassion.
MindUP was created in response to the global epidemic of:
-
childhood aggression
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
suicide
Ms. Hawn’s book - 10 MINDFUL MINUTES: Giving Our Children–and Ourselves–the Social and Emotional Skills to Reduce Stress and Anxiety for Healthier, Happy Lives (paperback) – by Goldie Hawn (Author), Wendy Holden (Author), Daniel J. Siegel MD (Foreward)
I celebrate Ms. Maria Kawah Leung and LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET, Ms. Goldie Hawn and MindUP, and children all over the world!
