However, it is important to find a few good friends who will allow us to share anyway. 5 Reply Hot Sauce10 months agoHot SauceWell, here's 5 things I've learned recently: 1.

Whatever religious or secular tradition one is from, it is important to use scriptures, teachings, mythical heroes, and traditions that are useful for forming a theology or ethic of interfaith collegiality. 3. The Psalms are organized into a structure that echoes the five-book structure of the Torah. 4. Humanism has ancient origins in Greece, China, and India. 5.

It has been challenging but in a good way. 3 Reply Tree10 months agoTreeI am learning just how powerful and important physical presence and connection are for my well being. How many people I interacted with in a day before the pandemic that all helped me feel connected. Even the strangers I would pass by on a street and smile at. Now, with this drastically reduced, I am finding other ways to get the need for connection met, but it leaves me with a deeper appreciation of my need to physically be around other humans.

How many people I interacted with in a day before the pandemic that all helped me feel connected. Even the strangers I would pass by on a street and smile at. Now, with this drastically reduced, I am finding other ways to get the need for connection met, but it leaves me with a deeper appreciation of my need to physically be around other humans. It’s hard to not be able to give family and friends I love a hug right now, but I can tell them I love them with my voice. I am grateful for the times that other’s physical presence unknowingly filled my “connection meter” 🙂 Read More6 Reply Toni10 months agoToniToday, I am learning to appreciate the sound of the rain, the birds chirping, the songs I hear amidst the silence…like : Oh what a beautiful mornin’, Oh what a beautiful day, I’ve got a beautiful feelin’ Everything’s going my way. I just looked it up and found out that Oklahoma (the film) 1955 film. came out the year I was born! That makes me feel hopeful! What I’m learning recently is to appreciate god incidence! 2 Reply TeriB10 months agoTeriBFor every angry person there are several others willing, able and wanting to lend a hand. I often wonder why is it that the complainers seem to get all the attention while the helpers usually go unnoticed? I am focusing on the helpers and trying my best to replicate that goodness. 4 Reply pkr10 months agopkr…that there are an awful lot of good, kind, caring, thoughtful people out there. I so enjoy hearing about all of the “ good” people rather than all the nasty, dark stuff out there. In this “time of corona”, I have been so moved by all the love and acts of kindness. There truly is more good than bad. Let’s keep it going…….❤️ 5 Reply Gerry10 months agoGerryRecently, I learned, in depth, that there is little difference between us, no matter our home on the planet. I’ve learned the difference between dark thoughts, and evil thoughts. I’ve learned to accept that I have a dark side, and somehow knowing this has robbed it of its power. I’m becoming a kinder, gentler person. The meaning of “we are one,” is sinking into my bones. For this I am grateful. (And oh, yes, just last night, I learned the difference between rabbits and hares.) 3 Reply Debra10 months agoDebraTo wrap up in the moment with honest abandon. 3 Reply Rachel10 months agoRachelI am learning that courage is respectfully sharing truths that might make people uncomfortable or even upset. That people pleasing sacrifices one’s own integrity and is food for the ism’s of the status quo. That shifting from my old habits to new requires vigilance but mostly self-compassion. The shift is slow. The practice as tricky as the legendary Coyote. 3 Reply Michele10 months agoMicheleI have learned that taking a mental health day is needed. I’ve also learned that when one is not appreciated time to move on and look elsewhere! 4 Reply Katrina10 months agoKatrinaI have learned tenacity. And through tenacity I have learned several new skills – how to Zoom, how to FaceTime, how to produce online worship, how to stay busy, connected and to enjoy with what I have. And I am still learning patience. I think that will be a life-long lesson. 4 Reply Eddie10 months agoEddieI have a lot to learn about practicing a grateful life. One area I’m working on is being purposefully kind to others. I have a tendency to use sarcasm or jokes with people and forget to just be simple and kind as well. 3 Reply Misty10 months agoMistyWell done for being self aware. Nothing beats kindness. 1 Reply Antoinette10 months agoAntoinetteI am learning to be courageous. Being a perfectionist is a hinderance to living life genuinely in the present moment. Like Michelle Obama said in the wonderful quote for day- be ready to share what gifts or talents we have. Voltaire said, “ Perfect is the enemy of the good.” I’m learning to show up to life and share what I know how to do with whoever’s around. Today I was fortunate enough to share mindfulness meditation with a group of people on an internet platform! I am a volun...I am learning to be courageous. Being a perfectionist is a hinderance to living life genuinely in the present moment. Like Michelle Obama said in the wonderful quote for day- be ready to share what gifts or talents we have. Voltaire said, “ Perfect is the enemy of the good.” I’m learning to show up to life and share what I know how to do with whoever’s around. Today I was fortunate enough to share mindfulness meditation with a group of people on an internet platform! I am a volunteer who teachers mindfulness and yoga but during this crisis we can no longer meet in person. I hope to be able to see if I can use this platform in other ways to plant the seeds of gratitude and happiness wherever and whenever I can. Learning and sharing is joyful!
