For me the last few months have been a bit of a roller-coaster, and I was hearing the same from a bunch of blogging peeps around me. We’ve all got our “stuff” sometimes. I definitely see the toll it takes. We all face losing things we love and it can be overwhelming.
I’ve found that healing is often through community, through connection. Sharing love helps pain and stress loosen its grip, even a little.
So, I’d like to invite you all to a semi-impromptu, semi informal conference call phone chat on Feb 2nd at 2pm EST. I’ll be leading a metta (lovingkindness) meditation, we’ll chat bit, and Iris of the Daily Dietribe will join us and lead a meditation, too, unless her sister’s new little one decides to arrive early.
Y’all wouldn’t have to share your own personal stuff or have meditation experience of any kind; it could just be a shared peaceful space to connect and breathe. And of course, it’s fun to actually hear people’s voices after emailing with them for ages.
If you’re interested in joining us, email me and let me know your timezone and I’ll send out an email. We’ll be doing this through Freeconferencecall.com, so it’s free, you’d just have to pay for long-distance charges.

This is such a good idea Cheryl and Iris. Wish I could be there, but I’ll be doing my own version of this at Kripalu. You’re soooo right. Life is a roller coaster and sometimes we forget about our own needs when we’re simply hanging on for the ride. I’m in that space right now, so I decided (last minute decision) I needed a serious jump-start back onto my “healthy living” path. I’ll meditate at the same time though. Let me know the time you’ll be hosting the call and I’ll take a few minutes to quietly connect with you via good energy!
