How’s it going being complaint free 😂. i’m not sure if I’m on day one for the third time or if I’m on day two. But, I did make it through almost all of the day yesterday, mostly because I was by myself, before I complained at the end of the night. So technically, I’m probably on day one again. But either way, I’m excited about this tool. I’ve tried not to complain or gossip for a long time and I do my best not to. But like everyone there are things they get to me and I end up complaining. But with this tool, I’m actually laughing about it and really paying attention to the energy that arises that he like a potentially be a Complaint. What I’m curious about is who I will be as a result of this process. I’m not trying to. I’m just I’m curious…
You are loved.
You are lovable.
You are loving.
If you were here last Sunday, May 24, these words will sound familiar to you. They were the container that the talk was held in. And from my perspective, remembering this for ourselves is a world healing accelerant. It will also be the invitation for our time together this Thursday for those who are interested in joining us:
When: Thursday May 28, 2026 @ 1-3PM
Where: The District
When I look at some of the challenges in the world, my soul can’t help but see possibilities. I’ve always been that way. Perhaps sometimes it would seem to a fault. And yet, my mind tells me that there cannot be one power in the universe that is loving, and that humans are incapable of living into and creating wholly loving communities. One of those notions has to be false in my mind. And so, I choose that the power of love is real, and that we humans have work to do to live into that power. In this video, I talk a little bit about my thoughts about how love Naturally Foster’s community. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
With the teachings that we have at our disposal, we are in an awesome position to hold space for community and ways that are rarely been seen…
I see love as the opposite of fear. Wrapping your fears in love is a wonderful way to overcome them.

I also want to add that this has given insight to what it would be like at the other end of the spectrum. What would this complaining challenge look like if I were in severe joy rather than grief? How would things affect me? Would I not care like I don't in this sadness.? It's interesting to think about.
