Hello, I’m Denise in SW Washington State. Hmmm, right now I am most grateful for a few days in a row of feeling more comfortable in my body. I hope to change my relationship with meditation. I have almost exclusively been using live or recorded guided meditations in recent years and I want to change that. I want to practice silent soft-eyed sitting upright meditation. That being said, my practice is alive and well AND ready to change (or so I tell myself, lol). Most important books that come to my mind in this moment: The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, and anything by Austin Kleon. Most important recordings: my father’s morning audio texts wishing our family a day of M & M (Magic and Miracles!), my “cover” of When I’m 64 (The Beatles), recorded with original lyrics to reflect my father’s life and presented to him on his 64th Birthday many years ago. Interesting- two father things. And lately, The Waltons!
