Just wanted to share with you guys my day today. I had a pretty good day!
I started off by sitting in on a meditation group at The Women's Home, a home for women in crisis to help them better their lives. I'm volunteering there as a spiritual mentor and a book club leader, and they also asked me to teach the meditation group once a month. I am super excited!
This was my first time actually attending a formal meditation group and it was very insightful. I enjoyed meeting the women and hearing their stories. I learned so much in a short period of time just sitting there listening to them speak. I wonder if they know how strong and intelligent they really are...
Afterwards I headed over to my job and met with clients until my group later in the evening. I'm leading a group called "Keeping it Cool" where we discuss different ways to cope with anger and frustrations. It has not been successful as I would have liked it to be (client participation) but I am thankful for the ones who show up. It was really fun today as we talked about how to resolve conflict using one of the resident's current situations. It seemed like they gained a lot of valuable info from it and I did too.
Then on my long commute home, I decided to shut off the radio and talk to God. I really enjoyed it and plan to do it more often. Sometimes all we need to do is cut out the distractions so we can really hear what God has been trying to tell us all along.
Finally I came home to my puppy that was so excited to see me-what a good feeling : )
