I am in the flow when actively focused, engaged and doing something which I value and enjoy, which requires my full body/ mind. Feeling safe, relaxed and supported are key. When in flow I feel connected with people and life, more engaged and committed.

Hi Aine,

Thanks so much for the beautiful reminder, to practice kindness toward oneself and to find a place of calm, which lays the foundation for kinder interactions with others. I am not sure why I find this such a challenge, but I do.

Connecting – with nature and her elements, a family member or friend, music, visual beauty, a moving thought or prayer, my breath and body

When I consciously stop, take in the good and express gratitude I feel happy, connected and whole.

It provides tools, awareness and a community to anchor and shift my body, mind and spirit towards what is beautiful and good …

Thanks Christina, Your written piece and discoveries sounds very rich and meaningful. Will you share the link with us once you have published? I too am curious about the 12 step path and process. Warmly, KC

So good to see you back today Kevin. Wishing you the very best of health, and all the people and things that matter most to you!

Hi Mary, How wonderful that you bring such a lovely sense adventure to your time with fifth graders. What fortunate young people to have your daily curiosity to explore with! Much love to you as well, KC

Thanks Michael, I too miss Kevin’s steady, wise reflection and inspiration. Praying for much ease, grace and a successful outcome for his surgery today and quick healing/ recovery. Happy and grateful that we are all here to hold the space for him.

Yes!

Kevin, My prayers are with you, your loved ones and your medical team this day, tomorrow and through your recovery.

Wonderful Antoinette. I hope they continue to be friendly. Warmly, KC

Hi Gina, So good to read your post today. I hope a happy crew of pollinators are finding their way to your blossoming blueberry bushes! Warmly, KC

Antoinette,

Thanks for your post! I too seem to be invited to make friends with those darn demons these days, to ‘welcome and entertain them all’, and to ‘meet them at the door laughing’!

I do hope there is more joy and lightness in befriending those darn demons. Hurrah for the path of forgiveness!

Warmest wishes for your day, and whoever you meet ????????…

KC
