The Final Word Connecting with Others
Let’s face it, when we have news from around the world coming to us through electronic boxes in our homes (and most of it is bad news) it can be not only easy to disconnect, it may be a necessary coping mechanism that we employ to deal with what we see. In a round about way, our workshops and other similar activities help us heal from all that the modern world requires of us. It allows us to connect with others in a safe and fulfilling environment. It reminds us that most people don’t mean to do us harm. Reaching out and spending time with others helps us realize that we aren’t so different from each other, we are all interconnected. It’s so much easier to remain in our homes totally absorbed and busy with our own lives than it is to arrange a social gathering. I’m sure that I’m not alone in admitting that almost every time I make the effort to be with friends, family or even to meet new people... I always wonder why I don’t do more of it because it feels so great. Take some time this month for yourself to "detox" from the day-to-day hurry and hustle. Have a get together with your girl friends, spend some time sitting on a rock next to a gurgling stream or in a tranquil garden. Take a hike with your family, splurge on a spa treatment, spend some time getting back in touch with old friends. Choose something that will make you slow down and breathe in all that is good. Renew, refresh and rejuvenate your life and your spirit… And I will do the same. Wishing you the best of everything. |

In the late 1980's or early
1990's the rock group R.E.M. released a song entitled “Everybody
hurts, everybody cries”. This song went to the top of the
charts… and who can really say why. I think part of the reason can
be attributed to it's universal message. We can all relate, and not
only can we relate, hearing that others share our same experience at
times helps us feel connected.
