PEBBLE (resource)

Volume Control: a guidebook for highly sensitive people in a loud & spiky world

by Jen Butler



BOULDER (activity)

Buddha's Five Remembrances, often recited in Buddhist practice, are reflections on the nature of life and human existence. They are:

  1. I am of the nature to grow old.
  2. Aging is unavoidable.
  3. I am of the nature to experience illness.
  4. Illness is unavoidable.
  5. I am of the nature to die.
  6. Death is unavoidable.
  7. Everyone and everything I love will change,
  8. and I will be separated from them.
  9. My actions are my only true belongings.
  10. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
  11. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

These remembrances serve as a reminder to live mindfully and ethically, accepting the impermanence of life.

Here's the Dan Harris podcast episode I learned about this from, and here is a simple image of them I made for my iPhone


Here's a link to the resource page of Depolarization Resources I mentioned, too.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
