If you haven't heard it from me enough, I'll say it again: cultivating wonder is good for us all! I'm going to share some things you might try today or this week if you're seeking more wonder, awe, and joy.
Why now?
While I always hope this podcast is uplifting, I can't produce it in a vacuum as if I feel all is well in the world. And since I don't feel that way now (and you may not either), I've recorded this episode about how cultivating wonder can be its own form of resistance to the troubling things happening in the world.
The resources I mention:
Heather Cox Richardson on why joy is a form of resistance (YouTube, Red Wine and Blue)
(There's also my favorite kitten shelter, KitKat Playroom)
Netflix: Unknown Cave of Bones
