This is a podcast about celebrating life’s milestones and moments.
If you are new to the podcast, welcome and if you listen regularly, thank you!

How are you feeling about things these days? The world is experiencing a lot of turmoil including the weather, political changes, and even in our personal lives, it can be a lot to process. When things are not going the way I like them to go, it may be easy to question what’s happening in and to the world. It can be easy to write off the world as this horrible place and feel like, why bother, nothing good is happening anyway.

And then I have those times of remembering to stay in the moment and enjoy what is happening… I am reminded that you, I, and the world are, and will be just right. I remember that life is about moments and milestones. And in each moment, we can take it in. Feel it in our bodies. Notice how we feel. And be with those feelings. And yes, those feelings may range from deep despair to extreme happiness.
Life is filled with moments, including births, graduations, marriages, divorces, anniversaries, celebrations, and death. The milestones in life can be our pathway to happiness and joy.
I had not seen Ryan Delaine for several years in person, he was in college. During the pandemic, he and his family; parents, Chris and Susan, and brother Justin, meditated with me regularly on the weekends. At that time, I hosted a daily meditation practice live on Facebook. Most weekends for about three years, the Delaine family would meditate with me. And sometimes they were the only people to meditate live with me. I have such fond memories of those times.
When my husband TD and I arrived at the Delaine family home to celebrate Ryan’s college graduation, I felt so proud and excited for this milestone for him and his family. What a lovely reminder that even when the world feels chaotic, we must continue to enjoy, celebrate, and embrace all of life‘s uncertainties.
As Ryan and his friends left to continue the celebration elsewhere, they all said goodbye to every person that was there. In my day, we called that good home training. Lol.

This weekend celebration reminded me of my book excerpt, Celebrate Everything! I hope it serves as a reminder to take all of life in.
