Thanks Nikki & Blue. My heart breaks for your fears about Blue. They are real and they hurt. I too am working on fear abandonment in other ways. Our teacher Jack Kornfield recently responded to my question about working on the fear. Then he had me practice. Being the holder and the held. That is to hold yourself in the cocoon goo of loving kindness, peace & equanimity. let it transform you ; and we know how to be the loving Just hold the hurt place as best as you can. That’s what we spent those years practicing. He also said take in some Netflix, like you say, do more things that bring joy and happiness. Take in all the love, laughter and freedom you can find. I take joy in hearing your Blue stories.
As always, you and your loved ones are in my thoughts & prayers, your friend, Laurie
Thank you for sharing the lessons you received from Jack on your question around fear. The "cocoon goo"...I love this! And, likewise Laurie, best wishes to you and your family always!
I enjoyed this one friend! I am so glad Blue is okay and I hope he does not have any more reactions. Hannah does a great, "Lay off me I'm starving!" impression. I did your suggested exercise before leaving the office today. Keep up the good work friend!
Thank you friend:-). I will have to ask Hannah to do that impression sometime! And, I'm so glad you were able to try on that meditation. Thank you for reading our newsletters!
Another great one, Nikki! I will be saving that meditation you shared. Much appreciated!
I'm so glad little Blue is feeling better. He's a trooper and so are you! :)

Glad Blue is better. “Eat it “ makes me laugh! I pulled so many things out of my dog’s mouth. Some were too good and she would try to stay clamped. 😂
