Hi kind and beautiful human,
How are you? How is your heart? đź’“(I ask my daughter that second question a lot. I find that the answer to the second question is often far more detailed than the first.)
Do you ever have a stretch of time where everything is so awry that you keep looking up "is mercury in retrograde?" and "is it a full moon?" but astrologically everything seems fine so you know it's just you? Ha! Maybe I am the only one that does that.
Anyways, this week has been full of relatively minor but unsettling events, incuding an electrical fire at home (see fire safety tips below) and a nine-hour flight delay that included five hours stranded on a plane on the runway. Everything and everyone is fine, but it's one of those weeks that's like.... uh.... is this week still going?!
It's during weeks like this that I find it especially helpful to lean into my meditation practice. Not reading about it, or theorizing about it, or teaching it, but just... butt on the cushion. Sit, stay. I think of this as "meditation so easy a dog can do it." But also sometimes it actually feels like the hardest thing in the world. If you're also feeling busy or overwhelmed, maybe you can just sit and stay for a bit, too. :)
Okay, here are your 5 things for this week. ⏬
