It’s been awhile….

Hello Sangha. Hope all is well. I haven’t written in a while due to a few things happening in my personal life that I choose to remain close to home. I thank those who continue to send loving kindness my way. It is received with positive reception and love.

Today is the big game and I know from experience that many people struggle with events like this. The frequent advertisements for alcohol and sexual underpinnings. Two things that go hand in hand especially with sports. This particular game results in a surprisingly high rate of ETOH and abuse according to hospital statistics nationwide. While there is very little that we can do as a group, we can identify red flags in our friends’ behaviors and their actions towards others. Be mindful of these behaviors today, and if necessary get out of it and take those who may be affected with you.

This is a positive post. I know many that are struggling right now, not just because of the game, but because of life. The weather has played a huge factor in our lives lately, illness is abound everywhere, it’s tax time….so many factors. When you sit today for your regular practice, or participate in some sort of personal time, keep everyone, all around you in thought, mind and soul.

Namaste
