Thanks once again for you thoughts. It’s also really nice to be able to listen to you. I am envious of your discipline early morning. Now I am no longer working, I have time to establish my own time for meditation and reflection so thanks for the inspiration. Px
Not sure what you mean by being a “terrible meditator.” You shouldn’t be judging yourself to begin with, and certainly not expect your mind to wander or have intrusive thoughts. That’s not the point of meditation in the first place…
As far as calling yourself a “jackass,” I’ve become quite fond of donkeys these days after seeing “EO” and “Banshees of Inisherin.” So, I find that term quite endearing, especially on such a lovely being as yourself. Be kind to Allison!
Jackasses are awesome....i do tm every am and am sometimes due to myself or cats fidgety but the very reason i love tm is there's no judgement no religious nor any demands...it's as y'all describe a part of modern life and a wonderful tool...23 or 24 minutes a morning can save lives ...and help other people and cats sleep more...lol...thanks Allison ur a gem..we can be asses as a community of love minded peeps
I do know that everyone is a terrible meditator. And I know that’s the point. And I have no issue calling myself one! I also love jackasses, donkeys, mules, burros, any beast of burden. Any beast of any kind. If I had my druthers, I’d surround myself with four-legged creatures. x
Melody Beattie, Marianne Williamson - I have spent a lot of mornings with them and my daily readings. I also recommend Tian Dayton as well. Forgiveness is something we all need and we all need to do more often. Thank you for these writings.
Tian Dayton’s book is Daily Affirmations for Forgiving & Moving On. I think it will resonate with your thoughts and what you having been reflecting about in your life.
Allison. I LOVE the embedded audio. It gives me a chance to listen to you while getting other things done. It soothes. Please do more! I love your writing!

You will find your way to it, Peter. x
I am so glad that you're back. It was nice to hear the audio. ❤️

P.S. The little plush donkey I ordered just arrived, and I'm calling it Allison :))
Thank you.
I remember that post from Sarah Smarsh and it blew me away too. Thanks for the reminder.

Deep bow for all of your practice. Really loving the audio.
Just listened to the audio for the first time - really liking it 😊
Thanks for sharing the vulnerability
Love your work keep coming back
Dear heart: "Like clouds scattered by cyclonic winds
those who become more tolerant,
in the face of defiance,
often allow morals to become more confused,
especially if you are lost,
in the desert of your own confusion,
possible self-hate and despair.
You may become a victim of abusers who
take advantage of your fragile ego.
Learn to love yourself, Allison,
as God loves you. "_ Mr. Veritas
I relate. My inner toddler has run the show for far too long. I use tapping to remind myself that the adult me is in control.
Allison. I LOVE the embedded audio. It gives me a chance to listen to you while getting other things done. It soothes. Please do more! I love your writing!
