Weekly Soul:
Fifty-two Meditations on Meaningful, Joyful, and Peaceful Living
Spiritually- and psychologically-informed weekly meditations, for both professional and general audiences, that invite readers into an exploration of resilience, wellness and thriving.
Think of some of the most ordinary and banal moments in your daily life. Carting groceries from the store back to the car. Brushing your teeth. Paying the light bill. Taking out the trash. Is there not something sacred undergirding these moments? You are alive. You breathe. You move. You are capable of experiencing emotions. You can form words and express ideas. You can love, and be loved. You can suffer, and you can find and chart paths to resilience and growth. You can live your own, completely unique, irreplaceable life. You can’t, of course, reflect on these things to the exclusion of doing what you need to do. You have to drive home, unpack the groceries and make dinner. But might you pause, sometimes, to partake of the flow of aliveness and vitality by opening your heart to what is there?
