Hi Connie! I'm glad working through the question helped bring some clarity. Thanks for sharing … I think sometimes it can be tricky to see all the support and abundance that's there around us when we're caught in the middle of everything. So glad you were able to get the help you needed from your community! Warmly, Jyothi

As I started working on the reflection questions - The question (what unexpected opportunities or events shaped my year?) was a valuable reflective experience. I had time to review how my support system helped maintain the sanctuary during a family crisis, and how the community came together when we needed them the most to support a large intake of dogs. Sometimes, when you are in the forest, it is difficult to see the meadow for the trees.
Still working on the exercise!

We hope to see you on Monday, 12/4/23 at 11am PT for our next Community Conversations call! Maddie's Fund will be announcing the November grant winners followed by a presentation by Dr. @Jyothi Robertson on year-end reflections and setting intentions.
Dr. Jyothi Robertson will take audience members through contemplative approaches to centering themselves, reflecting on their 2023 experiences, and setting their intentions for 2024. The audience would then be able to work on each practice via a guided handout throughout December to prepare for the new year.
