REMEMBER: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
~~ African Proverb
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve journeyed through kindness as embodied healing, awakened to kindfulness, discovered grace through gratitude, explored contribution as medicine, found joy in service, expanded our vision of midlife possibility, and redefined resilience as community strength. This week, we turn to something our individualistic culture has almost forgotten: REMEMBER.
Resilience: Kindness as Adaptive Mastery
“I can be changed by what happens to me.
But I refuse to be reduced by it.”
~~ Maya Angelou
Greetings to all my precious people!!
Last week, we shattered myths about midlife limitations and embraced the science-backed truth that your greatest possibilities may still be ahead of you. This week, we explore the foundation that makes pursuing those possibilities sustainable: RESILIENCE.
But not the “grit your teeth and tough it out” version of resilience our culture promotes. Not the toxic self-reliance that insists you should handle everything alone. We’re diving into revolutionary research that reveals the strongest form of resilience comes not from individual toughness, but from kindness practice and community connection.
This changes everything we thought we knew about strength, adaptation, and surviving life’s inevitable challenges. continue reading
Possibility: The Midlife Renaissance
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
~~ George Eliot
Greetings to all my precious people!!
Last week, we discovered how authentic kindness practice generates sustainable joy—the kind that heals both giver and receiver. This week, we explore what opens when we stop limiting our capacity for transformation: POSSIBILITY.
Not the naive optimism that ignores reality. Not the frantic reinvention that runs from authentic self. But the science-backed recognition that your midlife years may be when your greatest possibilities finally become accessible.
In a culture obsessed with youth and terrified of aging, this exploration is revolutionary: What if everything you’ve been told about decline after 40 is not just wrong, but backwards? continue reading
How Acupuncture Supports New Moms
Late night, exhaustion, and countless diaper changes are expected for new moms. But what often isn’t expected are the overwhelming physical and emotional drain that can sometimes linger long after the hospital stay. Breastfeeding challenges, unpredictable moods, persistent back pain, and a deep sense of loneliness can become ever present in the daily life of a new mom. And finding ways to deal with this new reality can be challenging. For many new moms, acupuncture has become a lifeline; a gentle but powerful way to heal body and mind during one of life’s most transformative periods. continue reading
JOY: Cultivating Sustainable Aliveness
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves
to recognize how good things really are.”
~~ Marianne Williamson
Beyond Happiness: Cultivating Sustainable Aliveness
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve journeyed through kindness as embodied healing, awakened to kindfulness as warm-hearted presence, discovered how gratitude becomes grace, and explored how your healing naturally wants to serve others through authentic contribution. This week, we dive into something that might surprise you: JOY.
Not the forced positivity that asks you to pretend everything is wonderful. Not the fleeting happiness that depends on external circumstances. But the deep, sustainable aliveness that emerges when you live in authentic alignment with your kindness practice and your contribution to the world.
This is joy as medicine. Joy as fuel. Joy as the natural result of a life lived in service to what matters most. continue reading
