A remarkable woman, worth getting to know, Mary Baker Eddy lived from 1821-1910. Healer, author, church founder, publisher, and teacher, when she passed on, she was one of the most famous women in America and the leader of a world-wide religious movement based on Christian healing.

By WHITNEY HOLLAND
President
AFT New Mexico
We are down to just four and a half days left in the 2023 Legislative Session and both legislators and our union were busy throughout the weekend to continue to work to advance our supported legislation and ensure that we keep our legislation on track to the best of our ability.
We are thankful to report that our preferred approach to extended learning (HB 130) is continuing to advance, with a small amendment, and the FY ’24 budget (HB 2) heads back to the House or Representatives for concurrence with the changes made by the State Senate.

Gruninger: Balance – Prevent Falls & Injury
By JACCI GRUNINGER, MS, C-IAYT

BALANCE – it’s such a big word and relates to so many parts of our lives. Don’t you try to balance your work-life; your budget, time with friends and family, community service and hobbies?
It’s good to know that by practicing balance on your yoga mat, you not only enhance your ability to physically balance, but also will find better mental, emotional and spiritual balance off your mat.
Balance often equals control and who doesn’t want more control in their lives? When we first learn to walk, the more balance we have the easier it is to move. The same is Read More
Fr. Glenn: The Silence Of The Lambs
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
It’s not uncommon these days to see speakers at universities and other venues shouted down so that they can’t be heard or, “better yet”, to cancel their appearances. Nowadays we even have some calling for the repeal of the first amendment which allows free speech, or that speech should somehow be censured. Talk about a slippery slope!
Hmmm … maybe I’ll start demanding that only Christian views and ideas and practices be allowed. After all, since others don’t fit my plan and agenda, they must be silenced … forcibly if necessary. Or, I’ll burn their places of gathering, de facto Read More
Skolnik: Increasing Healthcare Services In New Mexico – Is It Now or Never?
By RICHARD SKOLNIK
White Rock
Despite its many talented healthcare professionals, New Mexico ranks 33rd in healthcare in the US (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/health-care). This is not by chance. Rather, misguided state policies are an important cause of the poor status of healthcare in our state.
Some of New Mexico’s most critical healthcare gaps relate to physician shortages. NM ranks 36th of the 50 states in “physicians in patient care,” per capita. (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/2020-2021/DocSt.pdf). In addition, we have an aging physician work Read More

In the 1996 movie Elmo Saves Christmas, Elmo of Sesame Street fame is given a magical snow globe that comes with three wishes (be patient, this is NOT an article about how many shopping days until Christmas!).
Elmo wishes for Christmas to occur EVERY day. He then is transported to the future to learn the adverse consequences of such a wish. By next year’s Christmas, everyone is tired Read More
McQuiston: Daylight Savings Time Is Time To Check Your Smoke Detectors
By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Daylight savings time is coming up this Sunday. We’re going to “SPRING forward” our clocks (which means Spring is just around the corner. Yay). Another important thing to do this weekend: check our smoke detectors.
A general rule of thumb is to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors when Daylight Savings Time ends and begins (unless you have a special detector – more on that below). In addition to replacing your batteries, here are some guidelines that are smart to follow when checking/testing smoke alarms:
