It's been a beautiful fall here in Missoula, Montana.
The leaves were bright, the air crisp, and we even had some blue sky days. That's one reason I haven't sent so many Wednesday Wisdoms - I've wanted to be outside as much as possible.
But now, most of the leaves are gone and we're starting to get into those persistent, all-encompassing grey skies of our winter season, which can make me feel gloomy.
That's one reason why I created an uplifting, peaceful event that will premiere in Missoula on Sunday November 22nd at 2pm.
The other reason is . . .
you.

Peaceful Holidays?
I've heard from so many people that the holidays are the least peaceful time of year for them. People with different beliefs and different kinds of family dynamics all seem to agree that the holidays can make them feel more stressed than blessed. I've had my fair share of challenging holidays.
So I created a live event that's an antidote to holiday stress.
I'll share some strategies I use for inner peace, including imagination exercises, gentle physical movements, and some guided meditations. These strategies don't come from one religion or philosophy that you need to adopt. Instead, they are tools that can help you find peace no matter what you believe.
That's why I call the event non-denominational and open to all.

Thanks for some of your precious time and attention today, and for your patience with Wednesday Wisdom.
Speaking of Wednesday Wisdom . . . it seems to be morphing into Whenever Wisdom.
I was very regular with sending a weekly email on Wednesdays for 2 years, but in recent months I've felt a change. I'd rather send quality content less often than scramble to send out "something" every week just to keep up a publishing schedule. Our inboxes are full enough, or mine is anyway, and I don't think we need more generic content.
So I'll be sending emails when I have something meaningful to say about peace, and when I have upcoming events you can attend.
This email was sent from Missoula, Montana so . . .
Thank you to the First Nations of what is now called Western Montana: the Bitterroot Séliš (Salish), the Ql̓ispé (Kalispel), and the Ksanka (Kootenai) - you can read more about all 3 nations on their website.
I also want to give thanks to the Amskapi Piikani (Blackfeet) and the Apsáalooke (Crow) First Nations because I’ve been to and enjoyed their traditional homelands in recent years. Many thanks for your hospitality.
Admittedly I did use AI for the poster images, but in the future I vow to ask local artist friends to design posters for my events.
