I hope you’re doing well despite the chaos and turbulence in Canada, the U.S., and worldwide. How are you handling the turmoil?

I must admit that I am somewhat anxious and worried—emotions that have been ebbing and flowing regularly during the past few weeks. At the same time, I frequently remind myself to focus on the present moment, which helps me stay grounded and optimistic about our human resolve.

I am following up on the blog/newsletter I wrote about a week ago. I appreciate all the responses and am excited to continue our conversation. Please let me know if you have any questions or additional thoughts.

In the meantime, I wanted to let you know that participants in my upcoming Tuesday morning iRest meditation class have agreed to shift their focus to Loving-Kindness Meditation (Metta Bhavana) as we wrap up the winter session with our last class. And you are invited to attend!

If you want to cultivate more compassion and generosity during this challenging time, please join us for a Loving-Kindness Meditation.

When: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
Time: 10-11 AM Central Daylight Time
Where: Live on Zoom

Cost: $0

We will spend an hour connecting, reflecting, and sharing as we build a supportive community that spreads love, kindness, and understanding.

Bring an open mind and a loving heart, and be prepared to sit comfortably on the floor or a chair. You don’t need any previous experience.

I hope you will join us.
