We are having a heat wave in So Cal right now and I know this is NOT the only place; therefore, I want to create awareness on how to keep yourselves safe with body, mind and finances. These three simply belong together, as when one is out of sort the others won't be balanced either. Why am I choosing this topic of Hot Weather? Easy, I have been observant and seen, heard, smelled more things that were not necessary in the last few weeks that I know it needs to be adressed. 

Signs: more accidents, fires, heart attacks, strokes, heat rashes, etc.
