“If I can get you thinking emotionally you’re not thinking rationally.”
(David Schweidel, Professor of Marketing & Goizueta Chair in Business Technology – Top AI expert at Emery University Goizueta Business School)
Later I went about researching what he said.
Psychology websites point out emotions and rational thought come from differents parts of the brain and emotions do not lead to irrational thinking.
BUT
The abstract from a study (PMC4050437) documented on the PubMed website starts out:
Recent experimental studies show that emotions can have a significant effect on the way we think, decide, and solve problems. This paper presents a series of four experiments on how emotions affect logical reasoning.
So I guess we can choose what to think about our emotions, but experiments show our emotions can affect how we think. That would explain why scams and con artists play on emotions. Not everybody will take the bait, but enough to make it worthwhile.
I think it’s important to understand how we are getting played so we can be careful. Probably also the reason Fox12 ran the story. It’s become a fact of life, our emotions are inundated by everything from social media to commercials to politicians. Our task if we know someone affected is not to criticize but to be there for them as they process their thoughts.

Louise Vitalis Christianson, Tillamook County’s whirlwind of compassion and enthusiasm for all things people, animals, good causes, and Mother Earth, was stilled by cancer the morning of Aug. 11, 2025, when she died at her home in Bayside Gardens. She was 86 years old.
Born Feb. 16, 1939, in Mishawaka, Ind., Louise worked at the family furniture store before heading west to San Francisco in the early 1960’s to work in the Finance and Investment field.
When not managing money she volunteered for a variety of local causes – whales, rescue dogs, the library, Big Sisters, recycling, and the San Francisco Opera. She also competed in ballroom dancing. She once spent two weeks with a group navigating the Colorado River. Mother Earth was her cathedral, and she was known to hug trees with the same spirit she did her dogs and her friends.
A camping trip to the Pacific Northwest sparked her interest in Oregon and prompted her move to Neahkahnie in 1994. In subsequent years she supported and got herself involved in a wide range of local causes — all in betterment to the community. Those included the North County Food and Clothing Bank, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Manza-Whee-Lem Kiwanis, Columbia River Keepers, Tillamook Animal Shelter, Animal Haven by the Sea, Nature Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, AARP, Salvation Army, Save The Redwoods, Doctors Without Borders, Environmental Defense Fund and any number of others.
Louise’s garden was a riot of colors and showed her tender attention to the needs of the plants. This wasn’t easy on her steep Neahkahnie lot, but she even started a business called “Garden Babies” in her greenhouse there.
When not outside with her flowers she enjoyed watching professional sports – particularly football and baseball. And then there were her dogs: Katie the Doberman; Mara the Malamute mix, and Zephyr the blue-eyed Husky.
Louise purchased her spacious one-level Bayside Gardens home in 2015. Zephyr moved there too and loved the large, fenced yard. After Zephyr, Louise started adopting senior dogs that required extra attention: Gee Gee, Handsome Joe, and Cooper. She gave them all a good life.
Louise was predeceased by her brothers John and Robert. She is survived by her sisters Sr. Roberta Christianson of Donaldson, Ind., and Sr. Jean Christianson of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico; sister-in-law Jan Christianson of Mishawaka, Ind.; nieces Amy Jacoby and Jean Richards; nephews Jack, Patrick and Steve Christianson, and 13 great nieces and nephews.
She also leaves behind a lot of good friends who will miss her.
Louise specifically did not want a memorial service to be held in her honor. Instead, she left instructions for a “Party.” In the coming months an appropriate time and place will be announced to mark the passing of a loving dynamo, who touched so many lives in her community.

Bio: Kate (she/they) completed yoga school through Portland’s Bhakti Yoga Movement Center in 2019 and has been practicing since 2009. I continue to learn from the co-owners of the studio, Tara Sonali Miller and Zeyah Rogé. I appreciate being able to offer classes that help foster connection to breath and inner landscapes, supporting life off the mat, through slower practices such as pranayama, restorative and gentle yoga.
Are you having feelings of hopelessness, sadness, lacking connection and community? Do you need spiritual support in a non judgmental environment? Spiritual Support Group meets this Saturday 9-10 AM, at Rising Hearts Studio. This group is non denominational and welcomes all who are needing space to connect and restore on a spiritual level. Our time together can include spiritual practices like meditation, sound baths, prayer, creative projects, nature walks, card readings, and spiritual teachings. Please join us if called.

This week, our focus will be on reconnecting to our hearts, to stillness, and to the breath – with singing bowl meditation, and prayer, followed by fellowship. Please join us, if called. All are Welcome!
