Brian,
I started a response to your message, but have not completed it due to continued distractions. I will! Thank you for sending out and offering transparency and vulnerability. I know most of our group has subsided from communicating, but for all that continue to follow this listserve, please know that i love all of you and consistently think of you, our time together ~2 yrs ago and I often reflect on my gratitude of our experience @ Hoffman together. 
Happy, happy, happy Holidays to all of you and your families. ❤️🙏. 

To Bernardo and others @ risk from the SoCal fires, my heart and prayers go out to all of you guys during this time of stress. Much love!

Paul

Today's Practice: Spread Peace



This is a time of year when being generous, compassionate, peaceful and kind are socially acceptable.

So let's do it! Let's spread peace, joy and positivity.

Be a shining light today wherever you go - open doors for people, let drivers on the road in, smile at strangers. Tap into the joy and excitement that children feel during the holidays - and let that drive you.

But don't stop next week when the Holidays have passed- maintain that loving, joyous energy and spread peace into, and throughout the New Year.
