What can MEDITATION do for us RIGHT NOW?

I’d like to say Happy Monday Funday or something cheery like that. But honestly, I’m not feeling it. If anything, I’m feeling tried, tested, and over the edge. I felt like this yesterday and woke up feeling the same today. This past Friday was my parent’s SIXTIETH wedding anniversary, so needless to say I’ve had every reason to celebrate. In fact, my siblings, nieces and nephews, kids, and I spent the week planning for that grand day: First, on Thursday, there was a surprise Zoom call with family from all over the world. Next, a video slide show with more than 50 good wishes from my parents’ kids, grandkids, family, and friends from around the globe. Friday was our grand finale: Ten honking cars, all blasting music, showed up in front of their house, where we posted a huge “Happy Anniversary” sign and watched them dance together from a safe distance.















Here they are, our cutest parents and role models and our family quarantine party:


















With so much to celebrate, why am I feeling over the edge? I’m still vividly aware of what’s happening around us with this pandemic. The celebration was a beautiful escape but not without the sadness that each of us faces as we enter another serious lockdown—perhaps more severe than the first one. My personal refuge is my practice of mindfulness and meditation and, most importantly, all of you, my Mindfulness Meditation Monday family.

I’ve thought a lot about what this discomfort looks like for all of us. I’ve delved even deeper into what we need to birth, build, and center within us to sustain ourselves and our loved ones during this time. I’m looking forward to sharing this with you tonight, during our time together, where we learn from each other, grow in our practice of mindfulness, and then set in motion the feeling that can maintain us and our world through this challenging time. I invite you to join in. It’s 30 minutes and it’s FREE.
