Why Struggle? Podcast W Barbara J. Faison

RESOURCES: All the links are here Greetings, It's Barbara J. Faison your meditation ambassador. I've been enjoying my meditation practices for over 25 years and one of the things I love about meditation is how it is all about "returning" to yourself and being in THIS moment. I am a self-professed, LLL, life long learner and LLS, life long sharer. In 2015 as I was researching where to learn more about mindfulness I came across Kay Stewart of Stillwaters Mindfulness Training and I signed up for a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that was being hosted at a local church counseling center where she was facilitating. Kay's energy and spirit were just right and I really felt I made a great connection and learned so much from her and the program. As an alumni of the program we are invited annually to attend a day of silence retreat on the church campus. It has been a few years since we all convened, due to COVID 19. On Saturday we had our silent retreat from 9:30 - 2 pm. When I go on a retreat, I

Yesterday my husband, TD, and I enjoyed a relaxed birthday brunch at a small restaurant I wanted to try. I  like trying new places to eat and I trusted that it would be just right. We went to  Arize Breakfast Cafe in the Camp Creek Marketplace, in case someone in the Atlanta area is interested. It was just right. I enjoyed my chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs with turkey sausage and delicious coffee. TD had a Jamaican omelette and enjoyed it as well. o :) Last week I mentioned making peace with decisions about what I choose to do in my life. Last year I lost an earring TD bought me for our first anniversary gift and I've wanted to replace it. I really want to find an infinity necklace as the replacement. We stopped by a jewelry store and nothing really spoke to me there. The ladies in the store were starting to get a bit aggressive about me having to find something for my birthday, so we left. I chose to leave and to trust I didn't "need" to get something just because it was my birthday. As

My birthday is coming up on Sunday, January 22nd. I'm grateful for another year to be here. I love that my birthday is around the energy of Dr. Martin Luther King ,Jr... the Peacemaker. My time, your time, our time on this planet is FINITE and my birthday reminds me of that fact  There are only so many rotations around the sun we will make in these bodies. I'm making peace with my decisions and where I am in life. I am in a creative stage and I'm energized with sharing my knowledge and wisdom from a place of gratitude. I share my thoughts on social media and in our meditation sessions on Insight Timer and the LIVE Breathe with Barbara monthly offerings. I share more of my personal musings and practices in my new group on Patreon, a paid membership community, you can find out more here. We are all creators with THE CREATOR... GOD, UNIVERSE, SOURCE, GREAT SPIRIT, LOVE BEAUTY, - whatever you call on when you need clarity and guidance. I am creating and enjoying the process. As I reflected over my 2022,
