April 2022

In the midst of 3 big health events in my family I’ve been feeling all the feels. ALL. THE. FEELS.

I am so looking forward to the soothing and settling that happens for me every time I teach a class.

If you’re looking for some soothing, settling, and fun, join us Tuesday for The Art of Appreciation! I would love to see you there!

More details below or you can register for this free, 1-hour zoom class here.

The Art of Appreciation

Tuesday, April 12, 2022
7:00 – 8:00 PM CT
This is my favorite class to teach! Not only is gratitude easy to understand and practice, research shows that of all the character strengths, appreciation is the single best predictor of well-being.

In the April Happier Brains Class we will practice some somatic techniques and then learn simple, science-backed methods for reducing stress and increasing joy through different practices of gratitude.

This class is offered free via zoom.

One thing I have learned about having a chronic illness is to expect the unexpected. I mean, I never really DO expect it, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if I did?!?

This week the small and mighty superhero who lives inside me (it’s my pacemaker / ICD) did a fantastic job of keeping me alive. I love that!

On Wednesday, I had an episode of V-tach (heart rate spike) and after I passed out, my darling device zapped my heart and said, “Tut, tut. None of that now. Settle down.” And then my heart said, “Oh, okay.” and did. Settle down, that is.

I’m home from the hospital. I’m fine. You can read more on Caring Bridge here.

In addition to not driving for 3 months, I will be leaning into asking for help, feeling the love and support around me, and appreciating what I have. And refreshing my Art of Appreciation class coming up on April 12th. I’ll have some fresh new examples of how it can work! 😆

Today I appreciate the darling people in my life who bring me flowers, offers me rides, give me space to rant and rave and cry, and who make teeny tiny cards for me. You make my life feel magical and so full of love.
