There are plants called fire followers (pyrophiles) that sprout and bloom after a wildfire has devastated a landscape. The heat and the nutrient rich ash quickens them to grow. It is possible to remember love even in devastation.

Parked outside of Reden and paused to eat a sandwich in my warm car, cozy & content. I was thinking how lovely it was to have a moment to myself with no distractions and no one needing anything from me. Ahhh… and then I saw him… 😳😳😳

Here in Central Ohio our weather is bouncing from mid 70s to low 20s on the regular. We keep our warm weather clothes, our winter hats, and our rain gear handy at all times.

One of the fundamental principles of a practice is adaptation. Adaptation allows us to be with the moment we are actually in, rather the moment we wish we were in or some strange disinformed narrative. (Yes, disinformed not misinformed.)

Get present with life as it is. Not how you wish it to be. Not how someone else is telling you it is. How is your body in this moment? How is your breath? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Stressed? Excited? Do you notice the beauty that exists alongside the muck? Notice what is, then respond accordingly.

So for today, feel your grief. Find a space where you can be quiet (or loud) and safe. Feel the sorrow, the anger, the frustration. Let it be acknowledged, by your dog, by the trees, by a friend, by the rain. Allow it to be digested. There is work to be done without carrying the burden, the loser keg, of unmetabolized grief.

Menopause Specialist ✅

Hello Reden Sangha! Those of you that have been in community with me for a while know the importance I place on continuing education. It helps me to be a better therapist and teacher by continuing to be a student.

Recently, I have wanted to be able to speak to the menopause transition with expertise and professionalism. While my high value on research has led me to read comprehensive books on the subject (future post coming), I also sought out a certification course. This training with was well-researched, evidence-based, and thorough. I am thrilled to announce that I’ve completed the training! Workshops and classes coming soon!

We are still under a Level 2 Snow Emergency here in Franklin County Ohio. But that doesn’t mean we can’t gather, fill each other up, lament, move, breathe. Join Reden’s community today at 1 pm. Link in bio.

I know we are exhausted right now. I know there are tears yet unshed, locked inside. Braced, worried, nearly numb. We cannot pour from an empty cup, all. We can gather in community. Even if it’s virtual. We know how to do that. We can fill one another up, we can bolster each other to feel the grief of what’s happening. Then, we can link hearts and arms and move forward. If you are able to, please join us tonight virtually, 6:30 pm, for a restorative moment together.

Wow! It’s been five months since I made a book post! Here are the ones that are loitering around my house. Some are old friends, some are new acquaintances. Some are visiting our home from the amazing Columbus Metropolitan Library. I need more book shelves! Remember, reading is relaxing and expands your empathy 💗
