Mental Health Awareness Month is Over... But is it?

Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces. ~ Rumi

Thank you for being here!

One Word. One Breath at a Time.

Here are a few thoughts about Mental Health Awareness Month. Words matter - especially the ones we don’t realize we are saying. We are all in this together and compassion is key to a healthy loving society.

"The left hand is caught and the right hand pulls it out. The left hand turns to the right and says ‘thank you.’ It doesn’t work because they are both part of the same body. Who are you thanking? You’re thanking yourself. So on that plane you realize it’s not her suffering, his suffering, or their suffering.

You go up one level, it’s our suffering. You go up another level, it’s my suffering. Then as it gets de-personalized, it’s the suffering. Out of the identity with the suffering comes the compassion. It arises in relationship to the suffering. It’s part and parcel of the whole package. There is nothing personal in this at all.

In that sense, you have become compassion instead of doing compassionate acts. Instead of being compassionate, you are compassion." ~ Ram Dass

other happenings and ways to connect

Freelance writing - Let’s connect to discuss your project whether it be copywriting, newsletter creation or blog posts, I’m here to translate your goals into words.

Parent Support - Meditation - Spiritual Parenting Group

This is for any biological, adoptive or foster parent who wishes to feel connected to other parents. This group is a place to learn from the teachings of Ram Dass and other spiritual teachers and apply it to parenting. Parenting can be a transformational experience. When we begin to release our tight grip of how things are “supposed” to be, the relationship with our children expands for the better.

This group is part of the Ram Dass Love Serve Remember Affinity Group(s).
