In today\u2019s first segment, I talk about the importance of meeting life\u2019s struggles without shame.

When we find ourselves struggling with any of life\u2019s challenges, it is normal and natural to feel a measure of shame at what we may perceive as a failure or shortcoming of some kind.

But when we allow the shame to engage us it can disguise the true nature of the suffering: it\u2019s almost always not what\u2019s wrong with you; it\u2019s almost always what\u2019s happened to you.

In the second segment, I use a personal story to illustrate how our struggles are often lessons in disguise.

And with a little practice, we can learn to experience struggle and difficulties in our lives with the open and curious energy of mindfulness.

It is in this space where healing and learning can occur.

NEW COURSE ALERT!!!

I\u2019m working on the information page this afternoon and hope to have it published before tomorrow, but I want to let you know about this new course I\u2019ll be offering.

I\u2019m so excited!!!

Over 8 Weeks, I\u2019ll guide a group through lessons and practices to help us all see the news, current events, and social media that works to keep us anxious, depressed, and/or stressed all the time these days.

We\u2019ll work on experiencing all these issues - over which we have little-to-no control - with the balance, grounding, and calm of mindfulness, allowing us to discuss it all without reactivity, even with people in our lives with polarizing views to ours.

And we\u2019re kicking it off the weekend before Thanksgiving, giving you a chance to manage all those difficult conversations, no matter what your world view.

(I will not be promoting any specific politics or morals in this course. It is about understanding what\u2019s going on without judgment so we can coexist with those with whom we disagree.)

The details:

8 Week Course, starting Saturday, 11/20.

Group meets every Saturday, via Zoom, at 6 pm EST (5 CST, 4 MST, 3 PST)

Cost: $88
