Learning for well being: I do that on an ongoing basis
Learning for curiosity or pleasure: same.
Learning so as to change something in me: I realised long ago that that just rejects me and is a recipe for pain.
Learning for career development: I have no immediate aspirations.
Learning a skill to help others: this is where I’d like to develop more. I have some thoughts but I am still exploring where this one will fly.
I would like to learn how to enjoy life in the moment and still be connected with such huge events like climate change, the pandemic and a war going on. I am in many groups working on climate change resilience, helping to send aid to Ukraine and staying with the science on the pandemic. Yet it is so stressful knowing these events are happening. I need to learn more how to lean into the moment of grateful joy when it is here.
I need to learn more patience with life itself. All this uneasiness in the world and country is so stressful. I want to enjoy and live life to the fullest. The older you get the more precious time is.
I am a first time visitor to this site, and am anticipating my community to continue to expand exponentially.
2022 has begun well for me, complete with a crisis that shook me to the core. Now, for the first time in my life I have asked for help. And I am receiving so much. I only needed to ask.
I am not alone!
So far I have been asking to learn the ways of much needed self-compassion and being present in this moment. So much help, so much access, and so many people thanking me for asking of them, so that they can help.
Bless us all
Although I have been visiting here daily for some time now, this is my first post here.
I am still learning and growing in so many areas…but I would say at this time in my life I would like to continue on my journey towards radical acceptance. Embracing each present moment, event, happenstance just as it is, knowing that there is serenity waiting for me there.
Dear Diane, it is late for me to visit here, but I am happy that I did and found your words. And I found in the Lounge your quote from Rumi … one of my favorites. I have had a rough day in various directions, so I am grateful to have ventured here in late evening. Blessings, my friend.
To let go of fear would be one of the main emotions I hope to be able to let go of. So many unnecessary reactions due to that in me and in others. It would be freeing for all concerned and in order to be fully available in service for my fellow people.
How to view myself as a rock in a rock polisher instead of stressing out or freaking out whenever things go wrong. [And how to add emojis with my new computer]
I would like to learn to find a balance between caring for myself and caring for my special needs son. My self care has fallen to the wayside for several years now and I know I need to find a way to better nourish my body and soul while still giving my little one all that he needs.
After 30 years of difficult marriage I have moved out. I would like to love living alone and find the pleasure of my own company. I would love to explore things which I always wanted but never could.
I would like to learn how to live more confidently in the tech world. I want to learn how to be a “long distance ” parent and grandparent keeping up strong relationships. I want to learn how to be more gracious with my aging body and “slowed down” mind. I want to learn to be more aware of the Holy One present in me. I am also at the back of the class but slowly moving forward. I thank you classmates for the help.

I would like to learn how to let go when it’s necessary.
the word for today spoke to me, keep one still secret spot within your heart, the secret place, too often I give that up

Hi Peter! Welcome!
Thank you sunnypatti. I am grateful for you seeing me.
Welcome Peter
Thank you Michele. Welcome is a word I hear frequently as I travel my path. Our path.
I would also like to learn to cook.

I think it is learning to age well. To thrive and to make the most of the rest of my life.
