The word ponderables has it origins in the 1600’s. Where does our mind wonder when not directed. From the grave to the sublime, from the victim to the empowered, from serious to silly .. Tonght Simon & Kim will share some of their ponderables, and hope you might join in too. What are those nagging questions we revisit in our minds, or that may just zip on through, that give us reason for pause and curiosity? Author Henry James (1843-1916), in his book The Awkward Age speaks about “coming out” in old English Society. A review on his piece asks: “Do I have any sense of what is going on?” “Can I believe any of the characters?” “What in the world is this about?” “I’ve read that sentence ten times and I still don’t have a clue what it says.” “Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?” Of course he uses the word ponderable more than once in his text on that account. Join us and ponder out yonder! 🙂
Living Through the Heart
The work that Jonathan Goldman does and teaches clears lifelong depression, trauma, fears, anxieties, resentments, shame, self-judgment, relationship dysfunction, scarcity thinking, spiritual disconnection and much more. Goldman’s goal is to lead you to become “the commander of your own vehicle.” He teaches you the art of inner alignment –The Divine Tactics — to be empowered to live your life informed by self-knowledge and self-actualization. You become your own teacher by having access to your heart, your intuition, and the inspiration of Light. Goldman is one of the leading educators on the embodiment of Light and its use in healing and for spiritual illumination. The Essential Light Institute, which he co-founded in 2008, is dedicated to teaching the arts of self-transformation and energy healing through direct relationship with the living force of Light. His book The Gift of the Body: A Multi-Dimensional Guide to Energy, Anatomy, Grounded Spirituality and Living Through the Heart he describes as “an experiential, practical, transformational manual for the adventure school of your life.”

alentine’s Day is around the corner .. A commercial holiday retail wouldn’t let you miss, right? For some it’s a day to celebrate that special someone in their life. For others, it shines a spotlight on the lack of a loving partner. I would contend that “Love” should be celebrated every day, not just on Feb 14th. Whether you are part of a “couple” of not ..

The dangers that can enter the new aspects of the relationship, and the simple joys we can be empwered to create on our own, or with someone.
Seek, Not Found, Create with the Gormally’s
Malayka and Conor Gormally are the co-founders of Concussion Alliance, a nonprofit organization founded to create a one-stop-shop of reliable, easily accessible, evidence-based information about concussion treatments and resources to find healthcare specialists. Conor serves as Program Director for the Concussion Education & Advocacy Internship Program, and Malayka serves as the Executive Director. The impetus for the founding of the Concussion Alliance was very personal. After Conor got his fourth concussion, he developed Post-Concussion Syndrome, which still affects him. They searched to find treatments, but were astonished to find virtually no evidence-based information to guide Conor’s recovery. They resolved to create the resources needed themselves. To serve its 10,000 monthly visitors, concussionalliance.org has in-depth information about 16 different types of treatments and search tools to find qualified providers, pages about self-care, population-specific issues, and the structural and functional impact of concussions on patients’ lives. With the increase in concussion research, Concussion Alliance started the biweekly Concussion Update newsletter, which brings synopses of recent news and research to 1300 subscribers.
