It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We've all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply. My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don't love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

"But I can't afford to work less". This is one of the most common objections I hear after explaining the benefits of working under your capacity. And because I still have some residual shame socialization around money, it's taken me a while to really solidify why that objection is a thought error, and DEFINITELY an inhuman story. But I'm ready to shout it from the rooftops now - so buckle up! I'm here to describe how it IS possible to work less and make more money, and how good making spacious money can feel.

Mazda now has a very comprehensive range of SUV’s – in addition to its best-selling mid-sized CX-5 it now offers four large SUV’s, the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 andCX-90 – and one wonders if the four large SUV’s are overkill, the company first toadmit there is some overlap with buyers – The CX-80 IS basically a three-rowversion of the CX-60, available with three engine choices - an in-line six-cylinderpetrol or diesel or a four-cylinder plug in hybrid. There’s four available grades,Pure, Touring, GT and Azami, the entry Pure only gets the six-cylinder petrolengine while all models feature all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic withmanual shift paddles. Importantly, the six-cylinder versions also include a 48-voltmild hybrid system. I drove the entry Mazda CX-80 Pure starting at $54,950 pluson-roads which gets 18-inch alloys, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ahead up display, black cloth trim, manual seat adjustment, three-zone climatecontrol air, a semi-digital instrument cluster, three drive modes and a full suite ofsafety equipment. Disappointingly, it lacks a wireless phone charger, a powertailgate, and a spare wheel – just a tyre repair kit inadequate in my view for afamily carrier with all-wheel-drive. Drive detail next.

When theologian Todd Billings received a diagnosis of incurable blood cancer, he described his imminent mortality as like lights in distant rooms turning off or flickering. “As the father of a one- and three-year-old, I tended to think of the next few decades as an open expanse, assuming I would see Neti and Nathaniel grow and mature. . . . But in being diagnosed . . . there is a narrowing that takes place.” In thinking about these limitations, Billings reflected on Psalm 31, how God set David in a “spacious place” (v. 8). Although David spoke of being afflicted by his enemies, he knew that God was his refuge and place of safety (v. 2). Through this song, David voiced his trust in God: “My times are in your hands” (v. 15). Billings follows David in placing his hope in God. Although this theologian, husband, and father faces a narrowing in life, he agrees that he also lives in a spacious place. Why? Because God’s victory over death through Christ’s sacrifice means that we dwell in Christ, “the most spacious place imaginable.” As he explains, “What could be more broad and expansive than to share in His life by the Holy Spirit?” We too may cry in lament, but we can take refuge in God, asking Him to lead us and guide us (vv. 1, 3). With David we can affirm that we live in a spacious place.

Tatters, accompanied by the deadly Vale sisters, sets out on her mission to track down and recover the Ring of Winter. Their target, it transpires, is located within one of the most potent symbols of Dominion power.

Lord Tortemus has proposed sending Tatters, along with his two bodyguards, the Vale sisters, on a mission to retrieve the Ring of Winter from the leader of the machine cult. Describe the mission parameters, including the keywords Mysterious Vehicle. Mission Parameters: Quest for the Ring of Winter Objective: Retrieve the legendary Ring of Winter from the leader of the machine cult. Team: Tatters - The cunning and resourceful protagonist. The Vale Sisters - Tatters' loyal and formidable bodyguards, known for their combat prowess and tactical acumen. Mission Overview: Lord Tortemus has identified the leader of the machine cult as the current possessor of the Ring of Winter. This ancient artifact possesses immense power over ice and cold, making it a critical asset in the ongoing conflict. The cult has fortified itself within Hammerhold, the city's greatest forge and arsenal, located in the heart of Chaintop. Primary Objectives: Infiltrate the Stronghold: Gain access to the machine cult's heavily guarded fortress. Locate the Ring of Winter: Identify the exact location of the Ring within the stronghold. Retrieve the Artifact: Secure the Ring and ensure its safe return to Lord Tortemus. Secondary Objectives: Gather Intel: Collect valuable information on the machine cult's operations and technology. Neutralize Key Threats: Disable or eliminate high-ranking cult members and their mechanical constructs. Mysterious Vehicle: Investigate the rumored Mysterious Vehicle that the cult uses for transportation and potential escape. Operational Details: Transport: The team will travel via a swift magitech skimmer provided by Lord Tortemus, designed for stealth and speed. Entry Point: Utilize an old drainage tunnel as the entry point to bypass the main defenses. Reconnaissance: Deploy mini-drones for surveillance and mapping of the fortress interior. Engagement: The Vale sisters will handle combat encounters while Tatters focuses on securing the Ring. Extraction: Once the Ring is in their possession, exfiltrate using the Mysterious Vehicle if possible, or fall back to the skimmer for a swift retreat. Potential Hazards: Mechanical Sentinels: The stronghold is patrolled by advanced automata designed to detect and neutralize intruders. Environmental Extremes: The presence of the Ring has caused unnatural cold within the fortress, creating hazardous conditions. Cult Defenders: Devoted and fanatical cultists, equipped with magitech weaponry, will fiercely defend their leader and the Ring. Mission Success Criteria: Successful retrieval of the Ring of Winter. Safe return of Tatters and the Vale sisters. Acquisition of valuable intelligence on the machine cult. Failure Conditions: Loss of the Ring to enemy forces. Capture or incapacitation of team members. Incomplete mission objectives due to unanticipated threats. Mission Commences: 18:00 hours, local time. Genre: magitech. Describe an automated factory stronghold, at the heart of the industrial Chaintop area of Kyras, capital city of the Kyras Dominion. The air in Chaintop hummed with a low, insistent thrum. Gears ground, pistons hissed, and the glow of arcane forges cast long, dancing shadows across cobbled streets. At the heart of this industrial behemoth stood the Bastion of Gears, a fortress unlike any other. Appearance: Exterior: Hammerhold was a brutalist masterpiece, a symphony of iron and obsidian. Massive, interlocking gears formed the very walls, their teeth catching the light in a mesmerizing display. Arcane sigils, etched in shimmering gold, pulsed with an eerie light, warding off unwanted attention. Interior: A labyrinth of corridors, each a testament to magitech ingenuity. Production Halls: Gargantuan machines, powered by a combination of steam and arcane energy, churned out weapons, armor, and intricate gears. Dwarven engineers, their faces grim with concentration, monitored the intricate dance of pistons and pulleys. Assembly Lines: Goblins, their nimble fingers a blur of motion, assembled intricate magitech contraptions. From miniature clockwork automatons to devastating siege engines, each piece was crafted with meticulous care. Forges: Arcane forges, fueled by rare crystals, roared to life, casting a blinding light. Dwarven smiths, their bodies glowing with an otherworldly aura, hammered and shaped molten metal into weapons of terrifying beauty and power. Defenses: Arcane Shields: An invisible, shimmering barrier enveloped the bastion, deflecting projectiles and absorbing minor magical attacks. Auto-Cannon Turrets: Ironclad turrets, bristling with arcane-powered cannons, rotated menacingly, ready to unleash a barrage of fire upon any intruders. Clockwork Golems: Massive, iron golems, their movements fluid and deadly, patrolled the perimeter, their eyes glowing with malevolent intelligence. The Heart of Hammerhold: Deep within the fortress, in a chamber shielded by a dozen layers of arcane wards, resided the Engine of Creation, a masterpiece of magitech engineering. This colossal machine, powered by a captured celestial spirit, was the heart of Hammerhold, providing the raw energy that fueled the entire operation. Life Within Hammerhold: Hammerhold was a world unto itself. Dwarves, goblins, and humans, all bound by contracts of servitude, lived and worked within its walls. They were well-fed and well-compensated, but their lives were strictly regimented, their every move monitored by an intricate network of surveillance. Dissent was not tolerated. Hammerhold was a symbol of the Kyras Dominion's industrial might, its arsenal, a testament to the power of magitech.

“Spiritual awakening brings us into direct contact with reality. When we're awake, our lens is no longer distorted, and our heart is no longer shut down and defended. We are now fully here, which means that our awareness is fully present, our heart or feeling sense is fully available, and all of our humanity is able to show up in each moment.” —Craig HamiltonIn this episode, Craig dives into a profound question: What would it mean to be fully in contact with life? Is it possible to meet each moment with a truly open heart and mind? Most of us understand the value of being open-hearted and open-minded, but years of conditioning often lead us to stay guarded, clinging to certainty. Can meditation help us unlock the secret to genuine openness? Imagine living with an undefended heart, where the need for self-protection has fallen away, leaving us free to meet each moment of life with our whole self.Craig explores this possibility and offers insights into how this shift is possible. He also leads a guided meditation to help expand awareness and dissolve old limitations, bringing us into a full-hearted embrace of the present moment.We encourage you to listen when you can give yourself the space to be fully present and distraction-free, so you can explore this transformative practice. If you're interested in exploring more of Craig's approach to meditation, you're invited to tune in to a 90-minute online workshop Craig will be hosting called Meditation 2.0 – The Miracle of Direct Awakening.

Is trauma real? In what sense? These questions don't in any way deny the real suffering of people diagnosed with trauma. Instead, they ask how we might take a broader and deeper look at trauma, in order to heal and transcend it. How can we do better in reducing the emergence of traumatizing experiences, and how can we do better in supporting ourselves and other in healing from these experiences, and opening up new possibilities for evolutionary learning?In her book Spacious Minds, anthropologist and clinical psychologist Sara E. Lewis invites us to see that resilience is not a mere absence of suffering. Sara's research reveals how those who cope most gracefully may indeed experience deep pain and loss. Looking at the Tibetan diaspora, she challenges perspectives that liken resilience to the hardiness of physical materials, suggesting people should "bounce back" from adversity. More broadly, this ethnography calls into question the tendency to use trauma as an organizing principle for all studies of conflict where suffering is understood as an individual problem rooted in psychiatric illness.Beyond simply articulating the ways that Tibetan categories of distress are different from biomedical ones, Spacious Minds shows how Tibetan Buddhism frames new possibilities for understanding resilience. Here, the social and religious landscape encourages those exposed to violence to see past events as impermanent and illusory, where debriefing, working-through, or processing past events only solidifies suffering and may even cause illness. Resilience in Dharamsala is understood as sems pa chen po, a vast and spacious mind that does not fixate on individual problems, but rather uses suffering as an opportunity to generate compassion for others in the endless cycle of samsara. A big mind view helps to see suffering in life as ordinary. And yet, an intriguing paradox occurs. As Lewis deftly demonstrates, Tibetans in exile have learned that human rights campaigns are predicated on the creation and circulation of the trauma narrative; in this way, Tibetan activists utilize foreign trauma discourse, not for psychological healing, but as a political device and act of agency.Sara Lewis, PhD, LCSW is co-founder and Director of Training and Research at Naropa University's Center for Psychedelic Studies. Sara earned her PhD at Columbia University in medical anthropology and public health; her research sits at the intersection of religion, culture and healing with an emphasis on non-ordinary states. As a Fulbright scholar, she conducted long term ethnographic research in India, culminating in her book, Spacious Minds: Trauma and Resilience in Tibetan Buddhism, which investigates how Buddhist concepts of mind shape traumatic memory and pathways to resilience. As a contemplative psychotherapist, she specializes in intergenerational trauma and healing through Somatic Experiencing and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
