Hi There!
(June 7, 2026) Coming up on Sun Jun 28: The Shorter List - Simplicity as Discernment. Maybe I am the only one, but it really helps me if I do not overload myself with "too many things to do." Takes skill, and one it's essential I practice daily. Or hourly. Or... NOW!
Settling and Strengthening is a skill with immense benefits - watch the replay. I also strongly recommend tuning into The Wanted & The Unwanted - Together Forever — an exploration of finding emotional focus and nourishing balance even when life includes blessings and contrasts.
Recently recorded are Receiving What’s Good - Even When Life Is Complicated and Redefining Your Identity in the Age of AI (super useful if AI is now a part of your world and you also know The World is changing because of it - like it did with Internet adoption altho much more rapidly.
