The Time for Yoga - At 7pm local time this evening, all yoga students at all levels of experience are encouraged to practice yoga. It doesn’t matter if you do it in a group or by yourself. Begin the savasana at 8pm and a 15 minute meditation for universal peace at 8:15pm. If every yoga student does this at the right hour, there will be a wave of yoga circulating around the world.
Blasphemy Day – This is an atheist holiday during which people are expected to openly express their disbelief in, disdain for, or criticism of, religion. It was created in 2009 by the Center for Inquiry. This day was chosen because it is the anniversary of the publication of Muhammad cartoons in a Denmark newspaper. Be careful where you do this, if you do this. In some countries such as Afghanistan, blasphemy is punishable by death.
International Translation Day - This is the day of the feast of St. Jerome. St. Jerome is the patron saint of translators, who was famous for translating most of the Bible into Latin. The day was created by the International Federation of Translators in 1991 to promote the translating profession and to show pride in their abilities all over the world.

National Mud Pack Day – Mud is supposed to be very good for your skin. You can either go to a spa and spend a bunch of money to have them pack your face with mud for a while, or you can go out in the back yard, get the garden hose, make some mud and smear it on your own face. Same benefit, a little cheaper. Just watch out for the rocks, bugs and worms.
National Mulled Cider Day – It's apple season, perfect for making mulled cider. One of my favorite hot beverages although it's good cold as well.
Chewing Gum Day - This is a day to exercise your jaws and teeth and chew some gum. Chewing gum in various forms has been around for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. I don’t imagine that the original version tasted great, but it couldn’t have been too bad or it wouldn’t have persisted for so long. It began to be manufactured and sold as a product in the late 1800s and was originally licorice flavored. I’m not a fan of licorice so I’m very glad that “Adam’s Black Jack” gave way to “Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit and Spearmint” flavor.

Universal Music Day – Celebrated annually for 11 years, this is a day to teach people about how important music is for your life. It can inspire and encourage you when you need it and it can ignite your emotions and make you cry or laugh. It can ignite your patriotic spirit or ease your grief over a loved one's passing. Music has power that we don't often think about. This used to be celebrated on the second Saturday in October, but last year they changed the date to Sept. 30.
Family Health and Fitness Day USA – Celebrated on the last Saturday in September, this is a day to encourage families to engage in physical activity together. Face it, your kids will be far more likely to exercise if they see you doing it. I know when my kids were little, I would exercise here in my house and every time I got down on the floor to do pushups or situps or anything like that, they were right there climbing on me either wanting to do it with me ( in their own fashion ), or wanting to make it harder for me.
International Lace Day - Also celebrated on the last Saturday in September, this is a day to make lace. You can’t have too much of the stuff, it doesn’t take up too much room and it is pretty. Make a lace tablecloth for your dining room table. Or a runner for a living room table or nightstand.
National Public Lands Day – Celebrated by the National Environmental Education Foundation, this is a day to enjoy, and learn how to conserve, public lands. They gather together thousands of volunteers on the last Saturday of September to work on maintaining the land for everyone to enjoy. They make sure trails are clear and safe, plant trees and other plants, remove invasive plant species, and collect trash.
Fall Astronomy Day - This is a day to look at the stars. Check with your local planetarium or Air and Space type of museum to see if they are having any special activities to celebrate today. There will be things happening at all hours of the day and night because not all astronomy is based on the stars. Back in April we had Spring Astronomy Day, this is the fall version of the same thing. It occurs as closely as possible to the first quarter Moon in the Fall and is intended to facilitate interaction and education between astronomy professionals and enthusiasts and the general public.
