From Jack Kornfield:

“When a society treats each member with respect, then they will prosper and not decline. When a society protects and cares for the vulnerable among them, then they will prosper and not decline. When a society protects the natural environment around them, then they will prosper and not decline.” – Buddha, Maha-Parinibbana Sutta

Update; plants found homes!

Anyone want some plants?!?? I have a cat that loves to eat plants and as much as he drives me crazy I don’t want him getting sick. DM if interested.

6 weeks post op AND celebrating my first day of my 11th year of the best job with the best humans at the college!!!
Am I ready? Mentally, yes. Physically? 🤷🏼‍♀️. But Nini (my new knee, thanks Cary Swartz for the name 😂) and I are still learning to live and work together and we are up for the challenge this semester.
Still taking it one day at a time and not bringing everything up to speed yet. The knee definitely reminded me that tonight.
I am feeling really special with all the phone calls, texts, support, little gifts and acts of kindness today. Thank you to you all 🙏🏼💚

Post op Day 16 update
Humbled
I have been humbled on this journey with lots of highs and lows. I am grateful for my village that have been getting me through and holding me up when I needed it most. What I still know is that this will all be worth it as I am starting to see more light than darkness. More strength and less swelling and pain. I know I have a long way to go as out patient PT starts next week, but hope and love is what is keeping me going.
Thank you to you all…… I couldn’t get through this without you 💚

“Challenges are part of life;
We weaken our spirit, when we act in fear and lose hope.
But we strengthen our spirit, when we fearlessly with faith and hope, rise up to meet and conquer the challenges.”
-Lailah Gifty Akita

Day 7 post op knee replacement
This last week has brought lots physical pain, lots of emotions and a true test of my “tools” to stay grounded and present.
Wound vac is off and PT has officially begun.
This surgery is not easy but will be so worth it, I know that for sure.
Thank you to everyone that has checked in on me, supported me, sent me gifts (not necessary) and held space for me during some of my darkest moments this last week. I am so grateful for my life-lines. 💚

Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful

than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon

and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone--
and how it slides again

out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower

streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance--
and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love--
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure

that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you

as you stand there,
empty-handed--
or have you too
turned from this world--

or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?

Evening meditation…..
Santosha; contentment, but knowing there is so much more to come.

Experience an embodied practice at a cozy intimate studio in downtown Binghamton. Small numbers, a practice that will meet your needs, modifications and assistance provided, lots of props…… and most important, community and support.
Sunday Restorative 9:30am

We have had some intense solar flares and there is strong incoming energy over the next few days.
Rest, hydrate, listen to your body and hold grace for yourself and others.

Mindfulness moment for YOU.
Ground your feet
Unclench your jaw
Place 1 hand on your 💚
Place 1 hand on your belly
Let your shoulders relax
Breathe in and out
Extend your exhales longer than your inhales……
Don’t force anything.
And just be. 🙏🏼✨

Sunday Restorative Yoga @9:30am tomorrow.
Rest your body and mind for the week ahead.

BE KIND to everyone.
We don’t know what they are walking through right now.
