Happy New Year!  After a lovely dinner made by Brian & myself, we settled into the couch, me with a glass of Pinot Grigio and Brian with a mug of some truly decadent hot chocolate Santa brought for Christmas.  We watched the celebrations in Sydney, Bangkok, and London before I went to bed.  Brian says he managed to make it to midnight, but I have my doubts LOL.  It seems as one grows older, one is more content to enjoy New Year’s Eve from the warmth of their fireplace, curled up in PJ’s and a warm blanket, together on the couch with kitty asleep on my lap.

Sure there was a time when New Year’s Eve was the be-all to end-all and we’d party until the sun came up.  We were full of optimism, renewed energy and focus.  A new year – a new me. And there is no reason not to feel these things – regardless of what the world has served us up for the last 2-years.  It’s just been a difficult time for everyone, and when I look around, I don’t see a lot of optimism this year.  Resignation for sure – more of the same – keep your head down and hope it eventually goes away, but we have to keep telling ourselves to stay positive.  

When this Pandemic and the States of Emergency around the world are finally done and gone, and we begin to emerge from this seemingly endless nightmare, I hope and pray that all the relationships between friends and families and former allies that have been torn apart by differing points of view and hardening attitudes can be mended – maybe not to their former glory or intimacy, but at least toward a more positive and understanding middle road.  
 
Namaste,
Karen

Good Grief Class

Sunday, January 23, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM

In life, we experience ups and downs. Some moments in time get stuck within our minds. Some great memories, some not so good. We all need some assistance with dealing with grief, when we lose a job, a person, a pet or a relationship changes.

In this interactive class, we will do some identifying of emotions, and learn to embrace the good and saying it’s okay to grieve…and there is a time to let go. You will receive ways to work on the now and future events, with a new approach. No one can change us…it is up to us to accept support and let go at our own pace.

We will give you tips on learning how to deal with situations, breathwork, and visualization, and using some energy-releasing work from within, working with my skill set, to assist you to let go. Create space for more balance within. Be gentle with yourself, your feelings do matter.

Cost: $40.50 includes HST
