they want.

fear of employer; and fear that they do not know how to administer CPR. Armistead said, “If 911 is not called immediately and CPR isn’t started immediately when someone goes into cardiac arrest, the lack of oxygen to the brain will cause permanent damage in as little as four minutes. In another four to six minutes, without the brain receiving blood, will result in increased brain damage, coma, and death.” When 911 is called immediately, the dispatcher will give the caller instructions on CPR. The Good Samaritan Law protects anyone from civil litigation “who in good faith renders emergency care at the scene of an accident or emergency to the victim or victims thereof without making any charge.” Armistead’s heartfelt wish is to spare other parents from losing a child in the way she lost her own. “We must ensure that everyone understands the urgency in calling 911 and administering CPR to try to save a life,” she said, “and that these lifesaving attempts are legally protected – Life over Law. This message takes on even more urgency in the face of the fentanyl crisis, but kids and adults need to understand that alcohol, cocaine, and other drugs can cause cardiac arrest. “Don’t walk away from a friend in distress,” she continued. “Act. Be someone’s second chance. FLPers need you to help build a stronger community by teaching those in your life the importance of calling 911, to be sure CPR is in everyone’s toolbox, and reminding all about Life over Law.” As Armistead says, “Let’s save lives.” Become part of the Feeney Legacy Project – passion, talent, skills, and wanting to make a difference for our community is all it takes.

However, it must be practiced for a minimum of ninety days for the new habit to become part of your unconscious thoughts. Harvard-trained scientist Dr. David Bach supports this. In his research on rewiring the brain, he found that a process had to be repeated at least two hundred times to interrupt the pattern and direct it to a new pathway. As you practice start and repeat consistently and develop a new habit, enjoy the significant lessons and simple pleasures you will experience. More information at www.janebishoplive.com
